Manager of Strategic Projects

Remote

We are seeking a high-energy, self-starting Manager of Strategic Projects to drive cross-functional initiatives for our high-growth private equity portfolio company. This position will partner closely with both members of the senior leadership team to drive the highest priority strategic initiatives and will have meaningful hands-on leadership experience driving operational change across the organization. 

As a part of this role, you will partner with the COO, CFO and VP of Corp Dev to lead the integration of newly acquired businesses into Accredited Labs. Over a 2-3 year period you will have successfully acquired and integrated over 20 to 30 small/medium size calibration companies and become an industry leading expert in deploying ERP, CRM, and MarTech technologies. Throughout the acquisition and integration process you will engage with sellers and their teams to successfully onboard them into Accredited Labs operational processes.  

In addition to integration responsibilities, you will work closely with corporate leaders and the executive team on a variety of strategic projects, often highly ambiguous, helping to drive the overall growth and success of the company. You will engage at least weekly with the executive leadership team (CEO, COO, VP of Finance) and play a key role in scoping and delivering on work that contributes to the successful growth of a national industry leader.  

This role can be done remotely from anywhere in the U.S. but requires the ability to travel to acquisition companies and branch locations. Expectations are 50% travel to assist with onsite due diligence and integration activities.

The ideal candidate brings a strong consulting toolkit and can successfully flex between driving operational change with frontline teams and crafting highly synthesized communications appropriate for the board of directors. This role reports to the Accredited Labs COO.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
