Craig Group is an operator-led go-to-market strategy and execution partner for private equity and PE-backed lower-middle-market portfolio companies. We are technology-enabled and AI-supported, built to accelerate organic growth within the realities of a hold period. We work with management teams and operating partners to identify the highest-value segments, clarify ICP and messaging, and build a repeatable revenue engine across marketing, sales, and customer expansion, then implement the plan, so results show up in pipeline quality, win rate, deal size, recurring revenue, profitability, and EBITDA.

Responsibilities

Client Relationship

Project Delivery

• Manage multiple projects of varying complexity, from inception through completion.
• Lead project kick-offs, ensuring the right team members are engaged and fully briefed, and direct the hands-on implementation team day-to-day.
• Monitor the allocation of resources across the execution team, ensuring staffing aligns with project needs.
• Develop realistic timelines with clear deliverables, ensuring all deadlines are met and client expectations are exceeded.
• Set up and manage projects in the project management tool, tracking progress and coordinating team collaboration.
• Document key project activities, including meeting agendas and summaries, and follow up on action items.
• Maintain alignment between Statement of Work commitments, client priorities, project activities, and success metrics throughout the engagement.
