About the Company

Accredited Labs is rapidly emerging as the leading national provider of calibration services in the U.S., specializing in test and measurement equipment across various industries, including aerospace, automotive, agriculture, food and beverage, life sciences, manufacturing, and packaging. Having completed over 25 tuck-in acquisitions in the past year and with plans for numerous additional acquisitions over the next 1-3 years, we are highly acquisitive and focused on integrating these businesses seamlessly into our growing network.

Our mission is to build a national calibration services provider that leads the industry, not just in size but in the quality of integration and operational excellence. As we expand, we are investing heavily in technology and process design, ensuring that we operate as a cohesive and efficient network. This role is critical in helping us achieve that vision.

Role Summary

We are seeking a high-energy, self-starting Manager of Strategic Projects to drive cross-functional initiatives for our high-growth private equity portfolio company. This position will partner closely with both members of the senior leadership team to drive the highest priority strategic initiatives and will have meaningful hands-on leadership experience driving operational change across the organization.

As part of this role you will work closely with corporate leaders and the executive team on a variety of strategic projects to drive the overall growth and success of the company. You will engage at least weekly with the executive leadership team (CEO, COO, VP of Finance) and play a key role in scoping and delivering on work that contributes to the successful growth of a national industry leader.

In addition, you will partner with the COO, CFO and VP of Corp Dev to lead the integration of newly acquired businesses into Accredited Labs. Over a 2-3 year period you will have successfully acquired and integrated over 20 to 30 small/medium size calibration companies and become an industry leading expert in deploying ERP, CRM, and MarTech technologies. Throughout the acquisition and integration process you will engage with sellers and their teams to successfully onboard them into Accredited Labs operational processes.

This role can be done remotely from anywhere in the U.S. but requires the ability to travel to acquisition companies and branch locations. Expectations are 50% travel to assist with onsite due diligence and integration activities. The ideal candidate brings a strong consulting toolkit and can successfully flex between driving operational change with frontline teams and crafting highly synthesized communications appropriate for the board of directors. This role reports to the Director of Strategic Projects.
