## Job Description
## New Vertical Expansion

- Structure and run design partner pilots from kickoff to first contracted ARR
- Lead discovery and implementation calls, engage executive stakeholders and PE-backed operators directly

- Travel to customer sites and industry events as needed, roughly once a month

- Build financial models, business cases, and analysis to support leadership decisions
- Identify and close gaps in how the company operates, from process, tooling, data, or coordination
- Support the founders and leadership team on special projects and strategic priorities

- Demonstrated ability to own a complex, cross-functional initiative from start to finish
- Strong analytical foundation: comfortable building models, sizing markets, and pressure-testing assumptions
- Comfort operating in ambiguous environments where the problem isn't handed to you
- Strong written and verbal communication with both operators in the field and executives in the boardroom
- High agency: you create clarity where none exists and move without waiting to be told
