About the Company 

Accredited Labs is rapidly emerging as the leading national provider of calibration services in the U.S., specializing in test and measurement equipment across various industries, including aerospace, automotive, agriculture, food and beverage, life sciences, manufacturing, and packaging. Having completed over 25 tuck-in acquisitions in the past year and with plans for numerous additional acquisitions over the next 1-3 years, we are highly acquisitive and focused on integrating these businesses seamlessly into our growing network. 

Our mission is to build a national calibration services provider that leads the industry, not just in size but in the quality of integration and operational excellence. As we expand, we are investing heavily in technology and process design, ensuring that we operate as a cohesive and efficient network. This role is critical in helping us achieve that vision. 

Role Summary 

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 part of this role you will work closely with corporate leaders and the executive team on a variety of strategic projects 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.  

In addition, 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.  

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 Director of Strategic Projects. 

Key Responsibilities 

  • Strategic Projects: Support the executive and operational teams in executing a range of strategic projects, contributing to the overall growth and success of Accredited Labs. Operate with a high degree of independence, taking ownership of integration initiatives and driving them to successful completion. 
  • Business and Data Analytics: Deploy an analytical toolkit to evaluate business performance and identify levers which will meaningfully increase overall company value. 
  • Operating Model Development: Partner with internal subject matter experts to develop operating processes, work procedures and training to standardize the Accredited Labs operating system. 
  • Stakeholder Coordination: Collaborate with internal stakeholders, including corporate leaders and the executive team, to ensure that integration efforts align with strategic business objectives. 
  • Integration Management: Lead and manage the integration of newly acquired businesses into Accredited Labs including onboarding to the core tech stack (including NetSuite, IndySoft, and HubSpot amongst other platforms), establishing integration value creation priorities and driving overall process alignment. 

Qualifications: 

  • Proven experience in leading complex projects with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and navigate ambiguity. 
  • Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to understand and address technical and operational challenges with an eye to pragmatic decision making. 
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with internal and external stakeholders from all walks of life. 
  • Highly self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal supervision. 
  • A strategic mindset with a desire to contribute to the long-term growth and success of the company. 
  • Big 4 consulting experience and strong foundational analytical skills.  Mastery of excel is a requirement with the ability to pick up SQL/Python over time. 
  • Bachelor’s degree required. 

Why Join Us? 

This role offers a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of building a leading national calibration services provider.

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.
