About the Role

WHAT YOU’LL DO (KEY RESPONSIBILITIES & OUTCOMES)
Initiative Delivery, Execution & Transition
- Embed with accountable business owners and drive assigned initiatives to completion against defined success criteria, outcomes, and timelines.
- Own the weekly operating cadence, integrated work plan, milestones, dependencies, deliverables, and escalations, holding action owners to agreed dates and quality standards without formal authority.
- Contribute directly to the analysis and work products that unlock progress, then transition completed initiatives into sustainable normal-course processes, controls, and operating rhythms.
Problem Structuring, Business Cases & Value Realization
- Structure ambiguous problems into hypothesis-driven plans with clear scope, deliverables, owners, timelines, dependencies, and decision points.
- Build business cases, financial and scenario models, and current- and future-state process maps that quantify costs, benefits, ROI, trade-offs, resource requirements, and control points.
- Produce concise, decision-ready materials for Executive Leadership and partner with Finance to track and validate realized savings and business value against the original case.
Risk, Prioritization & Cross-Functional Leadership
- Maintain initiative risk and dependency visibility, monitor health, and surface blockers early with a clear ask, options, and a recommendation.
- Flag resource conflicts and trade-offs across initiatives and contribute to portfolio prioritization based on urgency, business risk, strategic importance, value unlock, and execution readiness.
- Align senior leaders, business-unit operators, corporate functions, external advisors, and the change management team so recommendations reflect operating realities and adoption is built in from the start.
WHAT YOU BRING (QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE)
- 5–7 years of progressive experience in operations, finance, strategy, or transformation, with a track record of owning measurable outcomes in a business setting.
- Hands-on operating experience with direct accountability for a business metric, departmental budget, or P&L, including forecasting, variance analysis, spend approval, and cost control.
- Demonstrated ability to turn ambiguous problems into practical plans by building business cases, modeling financial impacts, mapping processes, and identifying dependencies and blockers.
- Strong financial acumen and modeling capability across P&L, cash flow, budgeting, forecasting, savings, ROI, and scenario analysis.
- Proven ability to lead complex cross-functional work and influence senior executives and peers without formal authority.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication, including concise executive materials and clear, candid escalation of issues and recommendations.
- Preferred experience in operating companies, management consulting, corporate strategy, restructuring, transaction advisory, FP&A, or high-growth business operations and strategy.
- Experience in sports, entertainment, hospitality, venue operations, live events, food and beverage, multi-site services, or investor- or lender-backed environments is a plus.
KEY LEADERSHIP ATTRIBUTES
- Enterprise alignment: Builds credibility across operators and executives, translates between business units and corporate functions, and moves competing priorities toward clear decisions.
- Ownership and accountability: Operates independently with sound judgment, a bias to action, and the candor to hold leaders and teams to outcomes, dates, and quality standards.
- Practical problem solving: Rolls up sleeves to shape the work, pressure-test assumptions, and turn analysis into repeatable practices that improve performance and create measurable value.
MEASURES OF SUCCESS
- Assigned initiatives meet their completion criteria and definitions of success on the agreed timeline.
- Blockers and dependencies are escalated before they delay the work, with an ask, options, and a recommendation attached.
- Business cases, models, and process maps are trusted by executives and Finance and are used to make decisions.
- Initiative Leaders and Executive Sponsors report that the Director materially accelerated and improved the work.
- Value created is validated against the business case, and each initiative transitions cleanly into normal course.
WORK ENVIRONMENT & TRAVEL
- Office-based role with regular computer use; candidates should be based in the New York Metro area, preferably, or Dallas.
- Frequent travel is required to support business operations and in-person needs, including working sessions, business reviews, and venue visits.
- Must be able to work responsively across business units, corporate functions, executives, external advisors, and consultants as initiative needs require.
