Corvus seeks to hire a Director of Strategic Programs (DSP). As our DSP, you will lead strategic growth initiatives for our Smart Insurance™ Products. This is a newly-created, highly visible role reporting directly to the CEO. The main duties will include helping Corvus identify and implement the most effective strategies and tactics to accelerate business growth. No day will be the same as you will get involved with special projects from market research on new product line opportunities to how to increase our differentiation in the market via engineering or data science offerings. This role will work across all functional areas of the business and require strong strategic abilities.
Our ideal candidate is a passionate and hardworking strategic senior leader who thrives in a startup environment. You can execute at a strategic level, but also enjoy rolling up your sleeves and diving into the details. You are easily able to translate vision into a working plan within a complex, dynamic environment across several stakeholders. For example, a sample project could be to investigate and recommend how new data sets can bring value to our key stakeholders: our policyholders, brokers, underwriters, and risk capital partners. This position will initially not have any direct reports so you must be able to be effective without significant additional resources.
