Operating at an IC-Director level, you will partner directly with C-suite and executive leadership across Strategy, Product, Operations, Finance, and Go-to-Market to turn complex operating and growth barriers into fact-based choices, scalable designs, and measurable business outcomes. You will own the full transformation lifecycle on the Everpure Platform—from root-cause diagnosis to hands-on execution and seamless operational handoff. ### WHAT YOU'LL DO Architect & Execute Enterprise Transformations: Exercise wide latitude to lead high-stakes cross-functional interventions—spanning value architecture, monetization models, quote-to-cash, and operating model redesign—driving initiatives from initial ambiguity through durable business handoff. Engineer Decision-Grade Business Cases & Economics: Formulate comprehensive value pools, scenario models, ROI analyses, and investment requirements in close partnership with Finance and operational teams to quantify value-at-stake and establish clear executive decision criteria. Mobilize Cross-Functional Execution Networks: Establish robust governance frameworks (including DACI models), secure functional resource commitments, and align executive leaders across Product, Operations, and GTM around unified milestones, phase gates, and delivery sequences. Direct Target Operating State Design & Systems Mapping: Map complex end-to-end workflows, data dependencies, and system failure modes to design the most viable, durable interventions across governance, process, systems, and incentives. Measure Value Realization & Institutionalize Change: Define executive KPI hierarchies, leading indicators, and adoption baselines to track outcomes, ensuring receiving business units fully operationalize metric ownership, controls, and ongoing management before transition. - We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the Santa Clara, CA office in compliance with Everpure's policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave. ### WHAT YOU BRING Strategic Transformation & Operating Mastery: Extensive expertise architecting and delivering complex, high-visibility business transformation, corporate strategy, or operational redesign initiatives with sustained business impact across multi-functional enterprise technology ecosystems.
