Company Overview
Innovation Works’ mission is to increase the success rate of the region’s technology companies and technology-adopting manufacturers by providing business expertise, direct investment and hands-on support.
Overview of Position
Innovation Works has been recognized as one of the most active seed investors in the US and includes AlphaLab, a nationally ranked accelerator program for early stage software companies. We help startup companies make rapid progress through critical stages of product, market validation and scalable customer acquisition by providing them funding, networks, programs, space, and our experience from over 300+ investments over the past 20 years. Innovation Works is seeking a Managing Director (MD) to oversee and lead its software portfolio and programs, including AlphaLab.
The Managing Director role is one of the most visible within the startup community – both in Pittsburgh and across the country, especially in the software community. The MD shapes the overall program by setting the strategic direction and leading a team to execute upon her/his vision. S/he is ultimately responsible for the recruitment and selection of software companies for IW’s investment and programs, advising them during the different stages of IW support. S/he builds relationships with most of the groups and leading individuals in the Pittsburgh startup community and develops relationships outside of Pittsburgh through our extended network and our involvement in the Global Accelerator Network. S/he sets the tone and culture of the program. S/he manages the budget for the program, and directs software initiatives for Innovation Works.
The ideal candidate is a dynamic leader, who has prior experience as an entrepreneur/founder, investor, or ideally both. The candidate is a thought-leader in the latest areas of startup development for software companies (e.g. digital customer acquisition), in early stage software investments (accelerator and seed), and is well-connected in the startup and business community. S/he can recruit and lead a diverse team, creating a fast-paced culture of innovation and execution . Outstanding leadership, communication and interpersonal skills are essential. This position requires an ability to drive results (both individually and from a team), work effectively in a variety of settings, and comfort communicating with substance in a transparent, direct manner. Executive experience working with technology, software startups, innovation and investing strongly preferred.
