About the Role

We're looking for an entrepreneurial, highly resourceful contractor to help drive a portfolio of high-impact strategic initiatives that don't fit neatly into any single function.

Research new opportunities, funding programs, partnerships, and emerging trends relevant to the business.
Support innovation initiatives by identifying potential partners, preparing outreach materials, and managing pilot programs.
Drive execution of strategic initiatives, ensuring milestones are met and blockers are proactively resolved.
Create clear project plans, track progress, and communicate updates to leadership.
Conduct market, competitive, and business research to inform strategic decisions.
Take on ad hoc, high-priority projects as business needs evolve.

Requirements

Is highly organized and execution-oriented.
Thrives in ambiguity and enjoys solving unstructured problems.
Can independently drive projects with limited direction.
Has strong analytical and structured thinking skills.
Communicates clearly and confidently with both internal and external stakeholders.
Learns quickly and is comfortable wearing multiple hats.
