They are: (1) Business Operations & Intelligence (2) Strategy & Corporate Development (3) Strategic Partnerships and (4) Data Analytics & Insights.

You are a self-starter with higher ‘ownership’ and accountability orientation, who excels in ambiguity and can drive results with minimal oversight.

  • Build deep cross-functional knowledge of internal operating environment and external market dynamics to serve as trusted advisor to InVision leadership team; leverage this understanding of the drivers of our business to proactively identify ways to improve performance, effectiveness, and efficiency and influence associated action
  • Own annual company-level strategic planning and review processes, in close partnership with leaders across Product, Sales, Marketing, and Finance; co-ownership of driver-based plan modeling, workshopping, and scenarios development, in partnership with Strategic Finance
  • Translate company strategy and priorities into inorganic plan/priorities, and execute against them
  • Manage all M&A processes from exploratory conversions through due diligence and deal process; internal partnership with business leaders, VP Community & Partnerships, fellow Strategy & Business Operations leads, and Strategic Finance
  • Develop market intelligence discipline (in partnership with Competitive Intel team within Marketing) and perspectives to identify risks and opportunities for InVision arising from your evaluation of broad market dynamics, evolving customer needs and competitive dynamics
  • Contribute to creation of BoD material, external pitch decks, and other collateral; aimed at investors or outside parties (w/ Strategic Finance)
  • Support any fundraising efforts (w/ Strategic Finance)

What you’ll bring: 

  • 8+ Years Experience in Consulting and Corporate Development or comparable roles in high-growth tech companies; Management Consulting and Enterprise SaaS industry experience is a big plus
  • M&A experience
  • Ability to lead discussions and manage the flow of information across all levels of business, including Executive Leadership Team
  • Comfort with strategic frameworks and key processes related to strategy development, planning and M&A
