Chief Strategy Officer

Job Description Summary Join Hunt Electric at one of the most significant moments in our company's history. As we continue our transition to a holding company structure, expand our manufacturing capabilities, pursue strategic acquisitions, and deepen our presence in several construction markets, we are seeking a Chief Strategy Officer to build the enterprise growth engine that will shape Hunt's next generation.

As the Chief Strategy Officer of Hunt Electric, you will lead the growth functions that build Hunt’s future. You will set market and customer direction, guide business development, estimating, marketing, strategic planning, and build a healthy future backlog that matches Hunt’s capabilities and long-term objectives.

The CSO works in close partnership with the President to ensure every growth decision reflects Hunt's operational capacity, leadership capability, and long-term strategic direction. Together, these roles balance future opportunities with execution excellence. Working closely with the CEO, President, and operating leaders, you will help Hunt pursue the right work, build the next generation of leaders, and create lasting opportunity for employee-owners.

This role sits on Hunt's executive leadership team and is expected to contribute well beyond growth strategy by helping shape enterprise direction, leadership development, and long-term organizational capability. We are looking for someone with experience leading growth strategy within construction, industrial services, engineering, manufacturing, mission-critical infrastructure, or similarly complex B2B organizations where execution capability is central to business success. At Hunt, how we lead matters as much as what we accomplish.

Every executive is expected to model our leadership competencies by developing others, communicating with clarity, delivering results, empowering teams, and leading with integrity.

Lead Hunt’s growth strategy by defining target markets, geographies, customer profiles, and vertical priorities that align with Hunt’s long-term direction, capabilities, and culture.

Lead the business development, estimating, marketing, strategic pursuits, and market intelligence functions.

Develop and maintain Hunt’s strategic business plan for growth functions, including the annual operating plan, multi-year growth plan, quarterly updates, measurable priorities, and accountable deliverables. This requires close work with the President to develop this plan.

Build and maintain strategic account plans for priority customers and sectors, including executive relationships, relationship maps, planned touchpoints, and future opportunities.

Own the market and customer strategy that guides what work Hunt pursues, who Hunt serves, where Hunt chooses not to compete, and new potential markets to consider.

Set and maintain pursuit qualification standards, market selection discipline, and go/no-go expectations so Hunt pursues work it can execute at a high level.

Work in a standing operating cadence with the President to review capacity, labor availability, leadership bandwidth, delivery risk, backlog quality, and pursuit priorities before Hunt makes commitments. Escalate unresolved conflicts between growth priorities and delivery capacity to the CEO with clear options, tradeoffs, and recommendations.

Lead estimating standards, bid review discipline, scope clarity, assumption control, win/loss learning, and estimate accuracy improvement.

Lead marketing and positioning priorities that support strategic pursuits, recruiting visibility, customer trust, and protection of the Hunt reputation.

Maintain current market intelligence on customers, competitors, industry conditions, emerging opportunities, and risks that may affect Hunt’s future work.

Maintain Hunt’s “How Hunt Wins” market doctrine with the CEO and President, including target markets, target customer profiles, no-chase conditions, delivery posture, and priority growth opportunities.

Help manage a balanced backlog by monitoring customer concentration, market mix, delivery complexity, commercial risk, capacity fit, and margin quality.
