We are looking for a VP‑level strategic operator who will serve as a close thought partner to the President. The role sits at the intersection of strategy and execution: helping shape the agenda, translating direction into clear priorities and driving follow‑through across the leadership team and the broader organization. Ideal candidates will have demonstrated success with software‑to‑SaaS transformational projects.

• Partner with the President as a trusted advisor; shape agendas for key leadership forums, drive preparation and decision quality, document decisions and ensure follow‑through.
• Lead annual and quarterly planning with functional leaders; translate strategy into focused priorities, success metrics (OKRs/KPIs), and clear owners; drive alignment on sequencing, capacity and trade‑offs.
• Establish and run the operating rhythm that keeps strategic initiatives on track—portfolio reviews, dashboards, risk/issue escalation and accountability mechanisms.
• Lead high‑impact initiatives that do not have a natural home; stand up plans, roles and milestones, unblock teams and drive initiatives to measurable outcomes.
• Identify friction and inefficiency across the business; partner with Product/Engineering and the AI team to implement improvements using AI, automation, analytics and process redesign; measure impact.
• Support evaluation of organic and inorganic growth opportunities (e.g., partnerships, product adjacencies, acquisitions); build business cases, support due diligence and help plan integration and execution.
• Drive outcomes across Finance, HR, Engineering, Product, Sales and Operations; build trusted relationships, clarify ownership and hold the line on priorities, timelines and results.
• Maintain a bias for action: move quickly, learn and iterate to achieve results.

• Gather enough information to understand trade‑offs, then decide and move forward with speed and judgment.
• Create momentum: close loops, drive clarity and keep work moving.
• Make directional calls in ambiguous situations and adjust as you go.

• Bachelor’s degree preferred and 10‑15 years of professional experience.
• Demonstrated success owning outcomes in a SaaS or software environment; setting a path and delivering measurable results.
• Experience in accounting, fintech, ERP or GRC software highly valued.
• Full understanding of AI automation fluency; translate possibilities into real workflows, adoption plans and measurable impact.
• Financial acumen: comfortable with business cases, unit economics and investment trade‑offs; partner effectively with Finance.
• Ability to bring clarity to ambiguous situations: diagnose root causes, frame options, drive decisions and build practical plans teams can execute.
• Open to 50% travel to Wilmington, DE headquarters.

• MBA or similar advanced degree.
• Strategy consulting experience combined with meaningful operating experience and a demonstrated track record of owning and delivering outcomes.
• Experience leading or supporting M&A transactions and post‑merger integration.
• Background in FP&A, corporate development, business operations or a Chief of Staff‑style role.
