Reports to: 

Chief Operating Officer, Andromeda

Location: 

North America (Remote/Hybrid); travel to BUs as required 

Engagement Model: 

Rotational — 3, 6, or 9 months per Business Unit 

ROLE SUMMARY 

The VP, Portfolio Operations is a senior, hands-on operator embedded directly inside Andromeda's portfolio Business Units (BUs) — both existing and newly acquired — to identify, quantify, and capture value across the operating model. Working on a rotational basis, this leader will spend three to nine months inside a single BU, partner closely with the General Manager and their leadership team, and leave behind measurable improvements in margin, productivity, customer economics, and operating discipline before moving to the next assignment. 

This is not an audit role, a consulting role, or a turnaround role. It is an operating role with a value-creation mandate. The VP, Portfolio Operations is granted the trust and authority of the COO and the broader Andromeda leadership team to walk into a business, diagnose what is leaking value, design what to do about it, and — most importantly — work alongside the BU team to implement the change. Success is measured in EBITDA, ROIC, and the durability of the improvements after this leader has rotated to the next BU. 

Because every engagement is different, the specific scope of any given rotation is intentionally not over-defined. One quarter the work may be a deep review of customer contracts, billing terms, and rate cards; the next, a re-engineering of department-level productivity and time allocation; the next, post-acquisition operational integration of a newly closed deal. The common thread is a leader with the financial fluency, executive presence, and intellectual humility to add value in any of those situations. 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES 

1. Diagnose Value-Leakage and Operational Inefficiencies 

• Conduct rapid, fact-based diagnostics within the first 30 days of each engagement, working directly with the BU's GM, finance lead, and functional leaders to identify the highest-impact opportunities. 

• Analyze customer relationships, contracts, and billing data to surface contractual leakage, mispriced services, scope creep, and underbilled value — translating findings into actionable recommendations. 

• Assess departmental time allocation, capacity utilization, and productivity drivers to identify where labor is being absorbed by low-value activity and where the BU is structurally under- or over-resourced. 

• Evaluate the rate card, pricing architecture, and gross margin profile across product lines, customer segments, and contract vintages — pressure-testing the assumptions underlying current commercial economics. 

• Stress-test forecasting accuracy, working capital discipline, and cost structure using Andromeda's ROIC and capital-allocation lens. 

2. Design and Build the Value-Creation Plan 

• Translate diagnostic findings into a prioritized value-creation plan with quantified financial impact, defined owners, sequenced milestones, and clear success measures. 

• Build the underlying financial models, driver-based business cases, and ROI
