- Leading the workforce division. Coach and hold accountable three Directors. Build the operating rhythm that keeps the whole division humming.
- Owning customer relationships. Get on a text-message basis with our senior-most workforce customers. Know every contract inside and out, from both our side and theirs.
- Driving profitability. Make sure contracts are delivered well and the economics work. Manage risk. Find the clever path.
- Adapting and growing. Workforce evolves fast. Try new programs, kill the ones that don’t work, double down on what does. Help us stand up new lines of business.
- Reporting up. Give the VP of Operations and President a clear, honest read on what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs to change.
- 5 to 10 years leading multi-team operations. Workforce development, training, education services, or a similar program-delivery business is a strong plus.
- Experience hiring, developing, and (when needed) parting ways with managers and directors.
- Customer instinct. You build trust with senior client stakeholders quickly and keep it.
- Adaptability. You embrace experiments and you’re comfortable when the business changes around you.
- Commercial cleverness. You know how to delight customers and protect the P&L at the same time.
- A bias to deliver on the intent behind every task, not just the letter of it. When you’re handed a problem, you go figure it out. No excuses, no reminders needed. (If A Message to Garcia doesn’t already mean something to you, give it a read.)
- Someone who stays curious and keeps ego low. You’d rather get the right answer than be the smartest person in the room.
- Mission-Driven. We get it done and done right. We deliver on the intent behind every task. We own the outcome.
- Relentless Pursuit of Excellence. We challenge the status quo, stay curious, keep ego low, and stay efficient and resourceful.
- People First. We lead with trust, stay personable and real, and work hard and play hard.
- Mission that matters. Your work powers real workforce, energy, and efficiency programs across the U.S.
- Hybrid setup based at our Huntersville, NC office. Flexible enough to do great work and have a great life.
- Competitive compensation with bonus eligibility, a SIMPLE IRA with company match, and a health reimbursement program.
- A small, capable team that moves fast, ships well, and stays out of each other’s way.
