Frequently Asked Questions
How are these roles different from other similar roles?

These roles allows you to investigate functions and build restructuring plans first-hand, creating fixes with unparalleled speed and impact while providing unique learning opportunities.

The most successful people in these roles are:
-Able to understand the customer’s perspective and adjust internal operations to maximize customer value.
-Experienced in the enterprise software industry, understanding of the different ways to support a product and the difference between developing it along with a common vision and enhancing it based on customer requests.
-Biased towards action – not content to just write plans but wants to see them implemented, measured, and improved upon
-Experts at simplifying, distilling masses of information into clear, simple decisions and recommendations for complex issues.

What are the main challenges for these roles?
The roles have broad scope and fast pace – you will work with problems from different functions across multiple companies, and iterate on your plans in weeks instead of years. If you like to oversee steady-state operations or prefer year-long planning cycles, this is not your role.
