Job Description
Director – Strategy & Operations
/n
/n
As an engineering-led, AI-native modern tech consultancy, Searce doesn't do "traditional". We are looking for an Architect of the Audacious to lead our most complex transformation initiatives. You aren't just managing a team; you are the master strategist and hands-on builder who dismantles assumptions to design what’s better.
/n
/n
If you thrive in chaos, think in systems, and default to execution over theory, you belong here.
/n
/n
The DNA of a ‘Searcian’
/n
superpowers we value.
/n
/n
The ‘happier’ core happier-at-heart: humble, adaptable, positive, passionate, innovative, excellence-minded, responsible. happier-in-action: Not just a poster on the wall; It's how we make decisions, treat each other, show up for clients & hire or promote people.
Thinks like a founder. Acts like an owner. Always in Beta: Relentless curiosity. Openness to learn, un-learn, and re-learn. Real Optimist: Views all setbacks as opportunities. Believes in truth over comfort. Ideas over titles. Learning over knowing. Embraces chaos with calm. Evolves faster than the market.
/n
/n
We identify better ways of doing things.
/n
Solver? Absolutely. But not the usual kind. We're searching for the architects of the audacious & the pioneers of the possible. If you're the type to dismantle assumptions, re-engineer ‘best practices,’ and build solutions that make the future possible NOW, then you're speaking our language.
/n
/n
- Improver. Solver. Futurist.
/n
- Great sense of humor.
/n
- ‘Possible. It is.’ Mindset.
/n
- Compassionate collaborator. Bold experimenter. Tireless iterator.
/n
- Natural creativity that doesn’t just challenge the norm, but solves to design what’s better.
/n
- Thinks in systems. Solves at scale.
/n
/n
/n
This Isn’t for Everyone. But if you’re the kind who questions why things are done a certain way—and then identifies 3 better ways to do it — we’d love to chat with you.
