About the Role
The Director, Enterprise Transformation is an experienced operator who drives a select portfolio of high-priority, cross-functional initiatives from launch through completion. Reporting into the centralized Transformation Office, this role embeds with business owners to turn ambiguous challenges into integrated plans, business cases, financial models, and sustainable operating practices. Working across business units and corporate functions, the Director materially shapes the work, accelerates decisions, and helps Legends Global deliver measurable enterprise value.
WHAT YOU’LL DO (KEY RESPONSIBILITIES & OUTCOMES)
Initiative Delivery, Execution & Transition
- Embed with accountable business owners and drive assigned initiatives to completion against defined success criteria, outcomes, and timelines.
- Own the weekly operating cadence, integrated work plan, milestones, dependencies, deliverables, and escalations, holding action owners to agreed dates and quality standards without formal authority.
- Contribute directly to the analysis and work products that unlock progress, then transition completed initiatives into sustainable normal-course processes, controls, and operating rhythms.
Problem Structuring, Business Cases & Value Realization
- Structure ambiguous problems into hypothesis-driven plans with clear scope, deliverables, owners, timelines, dependencies, and decision points.
- Build business cases, financial and scenario models, and current- and future-state process maps that quantify costs, benefits, ROI, trade-offs, resource requirements, and control points.
- Produce concise, decision-ready materials for Executive Leadership and partner with Finance to track and validate realized savings and business value against the original case.
Risk, Prioritization & Cross-Functional Leadership
- Maintain initiative risk and dependency visibility, monitor health, and surface blockers early with a clear ask, options, and a recommendation.
- Flag resource conflicts and trade-offs across initiatives and contribute to portfolio prioritization based on urgency, business risk, strategic importance, value unlock, and execution readiness.
- Align senior leaders, business-unit operators, corporate functions, external advisors, and the change management team so recommendations reflect operating realities and adoption is built in from the start.
WHAT YOU BRING (QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE)
- 5–7 years of progressive experience in operations, finance, strategy, or transformation, with a track record of owning measurable outcomes in a business setting.
- Hands-on operating experience with direct accountability for a business metric, departmental budget, or P&L, including forecasting, variance analysis, spend approval, and cost control.
- Demonstrated ability to turn ambiguous problems into practical plans by building business cases, modeling financial impacts, mapping processes, and identifying dependencies and blockers.
- Strong financial acumen and modeling capability across P&L, cash flow, budgeting, forecasting, savings, ROI, and scenario analysis.
- Proven ability to lead complex cross-functional work and influence senior executives and peers without formal authority.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication, including concise executive materials and clear, candid escalation of issues and recommendations.
- Preferred experience in operating companies, management consulting, corporate strategy, restructuring, transaction advisory, FP&A, or high-growth business operations and strategy.
- Experience in sports, entertainment, hospitality, venue operations, live events, food and beverage, multi-site services, or investor- or lender-backed environments is a plus.
KEY LEADERSHIP ATTRIBUTES
- Enterprise alignment: Builds credibility across operators and executives, translates between business units and corporate functions, and moves competing priorities toward clear decisions.
- Ownership and accountability: Operates independently with sound judgment, a bias to action, and the candor to hold leaders and teams to outcomes, dates, and quality standards.
- Practical problem solving: Rolls up sleeves to shape the work, pressure-test assumptions, and turn analysis into repeatable practices that improve performance and create measurable value.
MEASURES OF SUCCESS
- Assigned initiatives meet their completion criteria and definitions of success on the agreed timeline.
- Blockers and dependencies are escalated before they delay the work, with an ask, options, and a recommendation attached.
- Business cases, models, and process maps are trusted by executives and Finance and are used to make decisions.
- Initiative Leaders and Executive Sponsors report that the Director materially accelerated and improved the work.
- Value created is validated against the business case, and each initiative transitions cleanly into normal course.
WORK ENVIRONMENT & TRAVEL
- Office-based role with regular computer use; candidates should be based in the New York Metro area, preferably, or Dallas.
- Frequent travel is required to support business operations and in-person needs, including working sessions, business reviews, and venue visits.
- Must be able to work responsively across business units, corporate functions, executives, external advisors, and consultants as initiative needs require.
