The mission of the Acceleration Pod is to be a surge of horsepower to help us grow our business as fast as possible. The Strategic Business Operations Accelerator will work to eliminate barriers, incubate growth experiences, and determine successful targets for inorganic growth. 

You will:

• Pursue discrete special projects. Lead special projects that do not have a natural home in the organization today, building cross-functional teams to help tackle the project.
• Support our inorganic growth. Assist in the mergers and acquisitions process from start to finish, namely through creating a capability map to determine current gaps, sourcing and prioritizing targets, and conducting due diligence of potential targets.
• Aid in post-acquisition integration as necessary. As integration post acquisition is essential to realizing the value of our investments, you will ensure successful integration of newly acquired technology and teams as necessary.
• Incubate organic growth opportunities. Fuel our future growth by initiating and growing internal opportunities, such as creating and implementing new go-to-market models, mapping out value propositions, and exploring new use cases.
• Unblock teams and projects within the organization to accelerate growth. Assist teams throughout the organization to provide an “extra set of hands” on important initiatives that need to succeed.
• Data Analysis and Insights. Utilize data analytics to identify trends, opportunities, and potential risks, providing data-driven insights to guide decision-making in special projects and growth initiatives. 
• Risk Management. Assess and manage risks associated with special projects, mergers and acquisitions, and organic growth initiatives, developing risk mitigation strategies to ensure successful outcomes. 
• Resource Allocation. Collaborate with finance teams to develop budgets for special projects and growth initiatives, ensuring optimal resource allocation for successful execution.

What you bring to the table:

• Detail-Oriented: Dedicated to pushing projects to completion and finding win-win solutions for all parties involved, never letting things fall through the cracks. 
•  Strategic Thinker: Hungry to understand the business as a whole, allowing you to have a strategic eye as you drive cross-functional projects forward.
• Comfortable in Ambiguity: Always looking for ways to break down big charters and challenges into actionable next steps. 
• Strong communicator: Able to explain complex concepts through conversation, presentation, and written communication.
• Continuous Learner: Not afraid of what you don’t know, willing to dive into a new subject and eager to learn.
• Driven: Ability to push yourself and others to complete projects to fuel our growth.
• Natural leader: Able to bring others along in the pod’s journey of accelerating our growth.
