Vice President of Strategic Growth Initiatives

A private equity-backed, rapidly growing residential and commercial field services business based in Long Island is seeking a Vice President of Strategic Growth Initiatives. This role will work closely with the CEO and C-Suite on high-impact growth initiatives, including core organic growth projects and M&A opportunities. Reporting to the CEO, this leader will work cross-functionally to drive strategic projects that align with the company’s long-term vision, enhance operational efficiencies, and position the business for sustained success. Projects will range from short-term strategic engagements to large-scale transformational programs.

Geography

This role requires time in the Long Island office but someone in a hybrid situation and more generally in the northeast is ok.

Responsibilities

  • Oversee and manage multiple projects, ensuring timely execution to meet business objectives in a fast-paced environment.
  • Provide steady leadership in a high-growth setting, navigating uncertainty, change, and tight deadlines associated with expansion through acquisitions.
  • Lead the planning, execution, and completion of acquisitions, defining key milestones, timelines, budgets, resource allocation, and success metrics.
  • Facilitate project coordination, steering committee meetings, and clear role definition for key functional leaders.
  • Monitor project progress through dashboards, tracking performance, risks, and overall project health.
  • Proactively escalate and resolve critical issues that could impact project timelines, including go-live dates.
  • Support acquisition strategy by managing due diligence workstreams and ensuring seamless execution.

Qualifications

  • 5–7 years of experience in project or program management.
  • Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or master’s degree highly preferred.
  • Proven track record of building and leading diverse, cross-functional teams across multiple locations, including internal and external stakeholders.
  • Experience developing workplans, project scopes, pricing estimates, and presentations to support project planning and execution.
  • Strong ability to drive innovation, embrace calculated risks, and lead transformative change.
  • Ability to work independently, making strategic decisions and achieving business goals with minimal supervision.
  • Strong decision-making skills, with the ability to step into higher-level leadership roles when needed.
  • Excellent problem-solving, financial management, and consultative skills.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication abilities, with the capacity to influence and collaborate across all levels of the organization.
  • Willingness to travel as needed.
