About Accelerance

Since 2001, Accelerance has served as the Global Software Outsourcing Authority®, leveraging the power of global software engineering talent to enhance the capabilities of our clients. We help mid-sized and fast-growing smaller companies and their CTOs (Dir. of Engineering, CPOs) confidently outsource software development by assisting them to select the ideal Accelerance Certified Partner and building out a high-performing, globally distributed software product engineering model.

What We Offer

  • Small entrepreneurial team environment
  • A culture that appreciates and expects innovative solutions and contributions from all employees at every level of the organization.
  • A company culture that is passionate about creating remarkable experiences for our employees and our customers by fostering a global perspective, respect, and cooperation, listening well, and acting quickly, continuous learning, and a drive for transparency and honesty.
  • Flexibility to work from home.
  • Opportunity for international travel.

Accelerance aims to establish a flourishing consulting organization, through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions, that can independently thrive, while also operating harmoniously and synergistically with our mature partner-client matching line of business.

While Accelerance has established a solid reputation for pairing clients with our certified global development partners, these partnerships can sometimes falter due to deficits in thought leadership, inconsistent processes, inadequate communication, cultural mismatches, and a lack of accountability in relationship management. In this role, you would take on the primary responsibility of building and leading this practice, with the corresponding benefits of success, by guiding and transforming clients into high-performing, globally distributed software product development teams.

As the General Manager for our Consulting Division, you will be an experienced innovator and leader providing vision and leadership while partnering with executives and functions across Accelerance. You will spearhead our growth, manage the operational aspects of our consulting division, and work with the leadership team to drive growth.

You will be responsible for leading and guiding new client acquisition, establishing sales strategies, and ensuring the successful delivery of projects. This position will hold accountability for client satisfaction, operational efficiency, and achieving established goals for the division.

Key Responsibilities:

I. People Management

III. Financial Management

  • Profit & Loss Management: You'll be responsible for managing the division's Profit & Loss account. This involves planning, controlling, and maintaining the division's revenues and costs to achieve profitability and growth targets.
  • Consultant Utilization: Optimize the allocation and utilization of consultants to ensure the highest level of efficiency and productivity, balancing client needs, and revenue generation.
  • Bench Management: Manage the 'bench' of available resources effectively to minimize unutilized or 'bench' time. You will create strategies to rapidly deploy bench resources, identify training and skill development opportunities during bench periods, and ensure an optimal balance between project commitments and resource availability.
  • Budget Management: Develop, manage, and adjust the division's budgets in line with the strategic plan and company goals. This includes operational, project, and staff budgets.
  • Financial Analysis and Reporting: Monitor, analyze, and report on key financial metrics for the division. Use these insights to drive financial performance, identify issues or opportunities, and inform decision-making.
  • Forecasting: Accurately forecast revenues, costs, and resources to align with the division's objectives and market conditions.

IV. Delivery Leadership & Client Satisfaction

  • Ensure successful delivery of all projects tied to the division, measured by client satisfaction.
