Job Description

Hub Integrator

Location: Huntsville, AL — On-site required Reports to: PVM's Integrator Type: Full-time

About the Role

PVM is opening its first hub in Huntsville, and we're looking for the person to run it.

The Hub Integrator is the operational leader of the Huntsville Hub — the person who runs it like a mini-business. You'll own the hub's people, processes, standards, goals, and P&L. And because you're the first, you're not just filling this seat — you're designing it. What you build becomes the template for every hub PVM opens after this one.

If you've run a team, a department, or a business unit end-to-end — and you like building the plane while flying it — keep reading.

What This Role Is

Think of it as a scaled-down version of a company Integrator, focused entirely on the hub: driving execution, holding people accountable, and protecting operating discipline day to day.

What This Role Is Not

We want to be upfront about this, because the seat gets confused with a few others:

• Not Business Development. Sales, pipeline, and customer expansion sit with a separate hub seller.
• Not Marketing. Brand and demand generation are owned at headquarters.
• Not Delivery Leadership. Delivery is HQ-owned; a local delivery lead will emerge as the hub matures.
• Not Talent Strategy. Workforce strategy and culture-building sit with HQ.
• Not office management or admin support. This is an operating-leader seat with real P&L accountability.

What You'll Own

People at the hub. Lead, manage, and hold your team accountable. Make the hard calls on whether someone's in the right seat — and act on it.

Processes at the hub. Document how things work so nothing lives in one person's head. The next hub you help open should be able to inherit what you've built.

Standards at the hub. Hold the line on quality and values — distance from HQ is not an excuse to lower the bar.

Goals at the hub. Own the hub's quarterly priorities and its 1- and 3-year commitments. Turn the big-picture plan into what the team actually does this quarter.

Operating rhythm. Run a consistent weekly cadence — scorecards, priorities, issues, follow-through — and keep it in sync with the hub seller and PVM's Integrator.

The P&L. Know your numbers cold. Drive margin as the hub matures. Hit the plan, or flag early if you won't.

What Success Looks Like

By month 3: A weekly operating rhythm is running consistently. A handful of key metrics are tracked and owned by name. Quarterly priorities are set and honestly assessed. The team knows how to get things unstuck through you.

By month 6: Local team leads are seated at the table and the cadence has grown to include them. 1:1s and accountability conversations are a habit, not an event. The P&L is visible and on plan. Your processes are documented well enough that someone else could learn from them without you in the room.

By month 12: Hub 1 is a repeatable model — the archetype for hubs 2 through 7. A future Hub Integrator could shadow you and inherit a working rhythm instead of starting from scratch. Year-one financial and mission commitments are hit.

Who Thrives Here

You'll do well in this role if you:

• Can praise, redirect, and hold someone accountable in the same conversation without flinching
• Get energy from weekly rhythm and structure rather than finding it tedious
• Have made — and lived with — hard calls about whether someone was right for their role
• Are comfortable owning a number, whether that's P&L, margin, or a comparable outcome
• See "building it while running it" as the fun part, not a problem to solve around
• Live PVM's values: mission and outcome obsessed, own it, better together, keep it real, no assholes

This probably isn't the right fit if you need every process fully defined before you can operate, if hard conversations feel like a distraction from the job rather than part of it, or if you'd rather be hands-on-the-work than running the operation around it.

What You Bring

Required:

• 7+ years in an operating-leadership role — Director of Operations, General Manager, Business Unit Lead, Chief of Staff with real operational authority, or similar
• Direct P&L or contribution-margin accountability in a past role
• A track record of managing 3+ direct reports for at least 2 years
• Experience establishing and running a consistent weekly operating rhythm
• Strong people judgment — you can assess fit and act on it
• Based in the Huntsville region or willing to relocate; this is an on-site, in-person role
• Comfort with government/defense contracting, or genuine willingness to learn it fast
• U.S. citizenship, with the ability to obtain and hold a security clearance

Nice to have:

• Direct experience with EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) — V/TO, L10 meetings, Rocks, Scorecards
• Prior operating role in a growing services company in the $5–25M revenue range
• Experience in defense, intelligence, or national security contracting
• Familiarity with Palantir or comparable forward-deployed engineering delivery models
• Experience standing up a regional or field office
• An active or recent security clearance

How to Apply

Send your résumé along with a short note (one page or less) describing an operating rhythm you've built or run. What did it look like? Who was in the room? What broke, and how did you fix it?

We're not looking for a polished cover letter — we're looking for evidence you've run something.
