Stats Perform is seeking a VP, Strategic Initiatives & Transformation to serve as an embedded internal consultant, transformation leader, and enterprise problem solver – a highly skilled individual who operates without direct reports but with significant organizational influence and reach. Reporting to the CFO, this individual will be deployed against the company's most complex strategic, operational, and organizational challenges – whether they exist within a single function or span multiple areas of the business.
Responsibilities:
- Serve as a deployment resource for the CFO, providing additional capacity and leadership on the company’s most complex challenges and opportunities
- Own end-to-end execution of high-priority strategic and operational initiatives spanning key functions
- Independently drive initiatives that lack a natural owner, require leadership capacity, or have stalled due to complexity, competing priorities, or organizational friction
- Lead efforts within an individual function or across the enterprise, depending on business need and executive priorities
- Rapidly assess underperforming, inefficient or ambiguous processes, programs, operating models, and organizational structures
- Build initiative structures from scratch where none exists — defining scope, sequencing workstreams, identifying dependencies, establishing governance, and driving execution
- Drive accountability across senior stakeholders who do not report to this role, using influence, clarity, and follow-through rather than hierarchy
- Surface risks and blockers early, escalate with context and recommendations, and maintain momentum in the face of competing organizational priorities
- Deliver measurable outcomes by driving initiatives from diagnosis through implementation and sustained adoption
