Executive Vice President Operations

Foresight exists to transform business and empower change.

Our vision is to be the leader in Energy, EHS, and Sustainability solutions for manufacturing organizations throughout North America.

Our technology enabled trusted-advisor service model translates how complex market and regulatory dynamics impact our clients, empowering them to act in the present and plan for the future.

We design and deliver advisory and technical services, as well as proprietary software products focused on helping our industrial clients stay compliant, save money, and unlock growth.

We are committed to excellence in customer service and to being a best-in-class workplace.

To be successful at Foresight, you will need to:

• Find personal inspiration in our Purpose and Mission.
• Adopt and strive to embody our Core Values.
• Be a goal-oriented, self-starter.
• Have an awareness of your personal strengths and weaknesses.
• Enjoy working on a team and take pride in being a great teammate.

We seek to create an environment where talented individuals can become the best versions of themselves while contributing to our company purpose, mission and vision.

We aim to develop healthy, effective teams filled with healthy, effective individuals who are utilizing their strengths and experiencing innate joy in their work.

By intentionally connecting every individual contributor’s work to the larger purpose, mission, vision, and strategy of the company, we seek to create the conditions in which intrinsic motivation is sparked and achieved by all our staff.

To achieve these ends, our operating philosophy is rooted in our five core values and designed to build a foundation of trust that makes organizational vulnerability, honest conflict, shared commitment, mutual accountability, and a focus on collective results possible.

As a member of the Executive Leadership Team, the Executive Vice President Operations (EVP Ops) role will serve Foresight by leading our teams that design, build, and deliver customer engagements across our suite of software, managed service, and advisory service offerings.

This is a hands-on, builder role who is obsessed with customer experience.

Foresight is a growing, dynamic company; thus we seek an operational leader that loves building teams, debates openly, welcomes being challenged and receiving feedback, commits fully, facilitates a culture of accountability, and stays focused on shared results.

This role reports directly to the President and suits a curious, emotionally intelligent, self-aware operator who embodies a growth mindset, and relishes at the prospect of developing and empowering leaders for a growing organization.

• Model vulnerability-based leadership. Admit mistakes, ask for help, and name weaknesses as the default behavior, not the exception.
• Create structured, recurring opportunities for direct reports and their downstream teams to build genuine trust in each other.
• Build onboarding and team norms where surfacing problems early is celebrated, not penalized.

• Create and facilitate decision making processes where all stakeholders feel empowered to weigh in and participate so that when decisions are made, the team feels heard and they know why the decision was made.
• Encourage and facilitate unfiltered debate among teammates on the tradeoffs Foresight faces daily: customer requests vs. delivery capacity, product roadmap vs. client commitments, hiring pace vs. margin.
• Design the operating cadence to surface and resolve cross-functional tension amongst production, technology, innovation, and sales.
• Coach leaders and downstream staff to challenge each other's assumptions…
