We are searching for a small business Operational Lead to work within the Teamshares network and assist our employee-owned businesses with turnarounds, transformations, and growth. During an engagement, you’ll work directly with a network company, providing strategic support, coaching, and operational implementation to help them grow. This role may focus on helping presidents in a more advisory function in some cases, or in others, the actual job to be done is to be on-site co-management or full-time interim management. 50+% travel is expected Key Skills: Bias to action. You act now to help fix a company. Strong interpersonal skills. In co-management situations, you work collaboratively with the president as their partner. In interim management situations, you calm the nerves of the team, and instill confidence in the employee-owners. Love of implementation and operations. This is not an ivory tower strategy role. It’s to quickly develop strategic changes, and implement them. It’s a move from advisor to principal. You are both the consultant and the CEO. The twist is that being the CEO of a startup or small business is a gritty operational job, not a strategy job from behind the desk. Running towards the fire. You can handle tough conversations. A company losing money is an intellectual puzzle, not something you run from. Who You Are: 1-5 years of top-tier consulting experience or a combination of consulting and small business leadership experience Demonstrated people leadership skills through past work experiences Strong interpersonal and communication skills; low-ego Entrepreneurial mindset and a desire to build Project-management and problem-solving skills with a roll-up-the-sleeves, get-it-done attitude Business acumen and analytical skills to oversee company financials and develop business strategy Growth-mindset and a willingness to explore new ideas and innovations; not afraid to learn from your mistakes An ability to think creatively, be adaptable and curious Why should you join us?
