U.S. Compensation & Benefits  

Compensation at Inspire11 
Inspire11 follows Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Illinois Human Rights Act, the Illinois Equal Wage Act, and the Illinois Equal Pay Act of 2003. We believe that people performing the same role at the same level, with similar levels of ability or experience, should be similarly compensated. We also believe that the most critical factors driving compensation should be an Eleven’s skill, experience, performance, responsibility, and effort. We may also consider an employee’s length of service, relevant education, training, or certification, and the requirements of a specific job. We may also consider whether the cost of living or competition for talent in specific markets requires adjustments in compensation for employees in those markets. Our goal is to fairly compensate all our Elevens based on these factors within the Company’s financial ability.   

Compensation may be increased or decreased at Inspire11’s discretion based on an employee’s performance reviews, market conditions, and the Company’s financial performance. Inspire11 will always notify an employee in writing before any change is made to their compensation.  

Bonuses 
We may allow employees in Sales, Recruiting, or Leadership to earn periodic bonuses based on sales, revenue, client-specific or practice-specific targets. These targets are communicated to each eligible employee via offer letter or annual update. All such target-based bonuses are calculated based on the Company and an individual’s periodic performance and will only be awarded if: (a) the employee is meeting performance expectations and is an employee in good standing of the Company; (b) the target is met; and (c) the Company’s current financial performance and market conditions permit the bonus to be paid out. All periodic bonuses are discretionary and are earned only when paid out.   

Each year, the Company will decide whether the Company’s financial performance, market performance, and business realities allow it to create an annual bonus pool. If the Company decides that annual bonuses may be awarded, then the Leadership Team will grant annual bonuses to employees in good standing based on the same factors discussed in the previous paragraph while also considering employees’ diligence, performance, expertise, skill, judgment, and experience. To be eligible to participate in this annual bonus pool, an employee must be hired by no later than October 1st of the preceding year. Annual bonuses and merit increases may be prorated based on hire date. Employees eligible for target-based periodic bonuses are not eligible to participate in the annual bonus pool.   

Options or Other Equity in Inspire11 
Inspire11 has a legacy program that allowed certain high-performing employees to purchase shares of the Company through an affiliate. The Company also has a newer program that grants options annually to high-performing employees based on their performance reviews, their managers’ recommendation, and leadership approval. These options have a vesting period associated with them.

Director, Safety & Compliance 

Location: Minneapolis, MN (or commuting distance)
Travel: Frequent travel across Minnesota; ~10% out-of-state
Type: Full-time, Exempt

Why This Role Matters

This is not a traditional safety role. As Director of Safety & Compliance for Capacity*Connect, you will own and build Sparkfund’s safety program for one of our most strategic growth initiatives. This is a field-first leadership role where success isn’t measured by policies written—it’s measured by what actually happens on job sites.

You’ll operate as the senior safety authority across a complex portfolio of battery energy storage and infrastructure projects, partnering directly with utility and data center clients, subcontractors, and internal leadership. You’ll define safety standards, lead audits and incident response, and ensure our teams are operating at the highest level in real-world conditions.

If you’ve built safety programs before and want real ownership, visibility, and impact—this is that role.

What You’ll Do

Own the Safety Program

• Lead and evolve the Capacity*Connect safety strategy, standards, and policies
• Ensure compliance across utility partners, data center clients, and regulatory environments
• Maintain audit-ready documentation, training logs, and safety program records

Be a Field Leader

• Conduct site visits across all phases: pre-construction, active construction, commissioning, and post-installation
• Ensure safety standards are actually being followed—not just documented
• Engage directly with crews, subcontractors, and inspectors to assess real-world conditions

Drive Compliance & Performance

• Manage OSHA/MNOSHA reporting and supplier prequalification platforms (e.g., ISN, Avetta, Veriforce)
• Own key safety metrics including TRIR and EMR
• Partner with Finance on workers’ compensation and insurance activities

Lead Incident Response

• Own incident investigations, root cause analysis, and corrective actions
• Ensure issues are tracked to resolution and incorporated into future prevention efforts

Manage Subcontractor Safety

• Oversee subcontractor prequalification and ongoing field performance
• Issue corrective actions and stop-work orders when necessary
• Represent Sparkfund during audits with utility and data center partners

Collaborate Across the Business

• Partner with Projects, Programs, HR, Finance, and Legal to embed safety into operations
• Support onboarding, training, and contract processes to align with safety expectations
• Build reporting and dashboards that track both leading and lagging safety indicators

What Makes This Role Different

• Field-first leadership—you’ll spend time on job sites, not just behind a desk
• High ownership and authority, including stop-work decision-making
• Opportunity to build and scale a safety program—not inherit a finished one
• Exposure to complex energy storage and infrastructure projects
• Direct visibility and partnership with executive leadership
• Ability to shape safety culture across a growing, distributed organization

What We’re Looking For

Required

• 10+ years of experience in field safety, EHS, or risk management
• Experience in construction, energy, utilities, or infrastructure environments
• Proven experience owning or leading safety programs
• Strong knowledge of OSHA regulations (1910/1926) and multi-jurisdictional compliance
• Experience leading incident investigations, audits, and corrective action processes
• Ability to operate in field environments and engage directly with crews and subcontractors

Preferred

• Experience with battery energy storage systems (BESS) or electrical infrastructure
• Familiarity with NFPA, UL, and IEEE standards
• Experience working with Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs)
• Professional safety certifications (CSP, ASP, CHST, OHST, etc.)
• Experience managing subcontractor safety programs
• Background in multi-site or distributed operations
• Experience partnering with executive leadership on safety strategy

Work Environment

This role includes regular field engagement, including active construction and operational sites. PPE is required during site visits. When not traveling, work is remote.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary range: $140,000 - $195,000 (based on experience and qualifications)
• Bonus eligibility (if applicable)
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) with employer match
• Flexible time off
• Paid caregiver leave
• Monthly phone & Wi-Fi stipend

We may also consider an employee’s length of service, relevant education, training, or certification, and the requirements of a specific job. We may also consider whether the cost of living or competition for talent in specific markets requires adjustments in compensation for employees in those markets. Our goal is to fairly compensate all our Elevens based on these factors within the Company’s financial ability.   

Compensation may be increased or decreased at Inspire11’s discretion based on an employee’s performance reviews, market conditions, and the Company’s financial performance. Inspire11 will always notify an employee in writing before any change is made to their compensation.  

Bonuses 
We may allow employees in Sales, Recruiting, or Leadership to earn periodic bonuses based on sales, revenue, client-specific or practice-specific targets. These targets are communicated to each eligible employee via offer letter or annual update. All such target-based bonuses are calculated based on the Company and an individual’s periodic performance and will only be awarded if: (a) the employee is meeting performance expectations and is an employee in good standing of the Company; (b) the target is met; and (c) the Company’s current financial performance and market conditions permit the bonus to be paid out. All periodic bonuses are discretionary and are earned only when paid out.   

Each year, the Company will decide whether the Company’s financial performance, market performance, and business realities allow it to create an annual bonus pool. If the Company decides that annual bonuses may be awarded, then the Leadership Team will grant annual bonuses to employees in good standing based on the same factors discussed in the previous paragraph while also considering employees’ diligence, performance, expertise, skill, judgment, and experience. To be eligible to participate in this annual bonus pool, an employee must be hired by no later than October 1st of the preceding year. Annual bonuses and merit increases may be prorated based on hire date. Employees eligible for target-based periodic bonuses are not eligible to participate in the annual bonus pool.   

Options or Other Equity in Inspire11 
Inspire11 has a legacy program that allowed certain high-performing employees to purchase shares of the Company through an affiliate. The Company also has a newer program that grants options annually to high-performing employees based on their performance reviews, their managers’ recommendation, and leadership approval. These options have a vesting period associated with them.

Managing Director

Location: Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, Minneapolis,
Reports To: Executive Leadership
FLSA Status: Exempt

Role Overview

A Managing Director is a business leader first. You are accountable for building and running a meaningful slice of the firm, usually a Service Line, portfolio of accounts, or a major capability area. You own growth, margin, delivery quality, and leadership culture. This role sits at the intersection of market, client, and talent. You set direction, create commercial momentum, ensure delivery excellence, and develop leaders who can scale the business beyond you.

Success in this role requires strong judgment, high standards, and the ability to operate across three time horizons at once: this quarter’s results, next year’s pipeline, and the multi-year build of capability and leadership depth.

What You Own

Growth and Commercial Performance

You are directly accountable for revenue growth and the underlying engine that produces it.

• Own a revenue and margin target and deliver against it with disciplined forecasting
• Build and maintain a healthy pipeline across existing clients and new logo pursuits
• Lead complex pursuits-- qualification, deal strategy, pricing, staffing model, and close
• Develop account expansion strategies that move relationships from project-based to partnership-based
• Translate market signals into clear offerings, packaging, and positioning
• Partner with Sales on territory strategy, win themes, and consistent pipeline hygiene
• Drive a culture where business development is a normal leadership behavior, not a separate department

Client Outcomes and Executive Trust

You are expected to operate credibly with executives and maintain durable relationships.

• Serve as executive sponsor for priority accounts, ensuring senior access and long-term health
• Build C-suite relationships rooted in outcomes, not activity
• Hold a high bar on delivery quality, clarity of scope, and measurable impact
• Identify and correct risk early: scope creep, misaligned expectations, delivery drift, or team breakdown
• Step in when needed to reset a client relationship, renegotiate scope, or re-staff for success
• Ensure the firm consistently brings points of view, not just delivery capacity

Delivery Excellence at Scale

You are not running every project, but you are responsible for the system that makes projects succeed.

• Establish delivery standards and enforce them consistently across engagements
• Ensure engagements have clear goals, a sound plan, disciplined governance, and visible outcomes
• Build repeatable models for staffing, estimation, and quality control
• Drive strong engagement leadership habits: stakeholder management, transparency, and escalation
• Oversee the health of the portfolio, not just individual engagements
• Ensure delivery performance ties back to margin and client satisfaction, not just “getting it done”

People Leadership and Talent System Ownership

A Managing Director builds leaders and makes talent decisions with clarity.

• Lead and develop senior leaders (Directors, Principals, Engagement Leads, Capability Leads)
• Set expectations for leadership behaviors, coaching discipline, and performance management rigor
• Own succession planning for key roles and critical accounts
• Partner with HR and Recruiting on workforce planning tied to pipeline and capability strategy
• Make decisive calls on performance, promotion readiness, and role fit
• Ensure the talent system is fair, consistent, and tied to measurable impact
• Build a culture of direct feedback, high standards, and follow-through

Service Line and Capability Strategy

You shape what the firm is known for, and you build the bench to deliver it.

• Define strategic priorities for the Service Line or portfolio: where to play and how to win
• Evolve offerings based on client demand, delivery learnings, and competitor movement
• Build reusable assets: playbooks, accelerators, training paths, and delivery patterns
• Invest in capability depth: expertise, thought leadership, and delivery quality at scale
• Drive cross-Service Line collaboration to sell and deliver integrated work
• Maintain a clear point of view on the market and communicate it internally and externally

Operational Discipline and Governance

You are accountable for predictable execution, not heroic recovery.

• Own forecasting accuracy, staffing health, utilization balance, and margin management
• Ensure strong operating cadence: pipeline reviews, account reviews, portfolio health checks
• Identify constraints early: skill gaps, staffing shortages, capacity risk, underperforming accounts
• Ensure compliance with internal policies and client requirements
• Partner with Finance on pricing guardrails, margin targets, and performance reporting
• Make tradeoffs explicitly and communicate them clearly to leadership

What Great Looks Like (Outcomes and Signals)

Business Outcomes

• Consistent growth in revenue and gross margin for the owned portfolio
• Increased share of wallet in strategic accounts
• Higher ratio of repeatable work and multi-quarter engagements
• Improved forecast reliability and reduced last-minute staffing chaos
• Strong promotion pipeline and reduced leadership single points of failure

Client Outcomes

• Executives proactively pull you into new opportunities
• Clear, measurable impact and strong renewals or expansions
• Fewer escalations because problems are caught early and corrected fast
• Strong delivery reputation: the firm is trusted with harder work

People Outcomes

• Senior leaders in your area consistently develop talent and manage performance
• High retention among top performers
• Clear accountability norms and fewer “gray zone” expectations
• People understand what good looks like and how to get there

Key Interfaces

• Executive leadership team
• Sales and account leadership
• Service Line and capability leaders
• HR (performance, promotions, workforce planning)
• Finance (forecasting, pricing, margin)
• Marketing (thought leadership, positioning)
• Client executive stakeholders

Required Experience and Capabilities

• 12–15+ years in consulting, professional services, or equivalent leadership roles
• Demonstrated ownership of revenue growth, margin, and forecasting
• Track record of winning and expanding executive relationships
• Experience leading senior leaders and scaling teams
• Strong understanding of delivery economics: pricing, staffing mix, utilization, margin levers
• High-confidence executive communication and presence
• Ability to make clear calls with imperfect information

Leadership Expectations

This role requires more than being strong at delivery or sales. You are expected to set the tone.

• Operate with clarity and accountability
• Raise standards without creating chaos
• Be direct, fair, and consistent in talent decisions
• Build trust through follow-through and clean communication
• Stay close enough to the work to know what is real, but high enough to scale it
• Put the firm’s long-term credibility above short-term convenience

Working Conditions

• Travel based on client and business needs
• Evening and weekend hours as needed, tied to client commitments, executive meetings, or key pursuits

U.S. Compensation & Benefits  

Compensation at Inspire11 
Inspire11 follows Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Illinois Human Rights Act, the Illinois Equal Wage Act, and the Illinois Equal Pay Act of 2003. We believe that people performing the same role at the same level, with similar levels of ability or experience, should be similarly compensated. We also believe that the most critical factors driving compensation should be an Eleven’s skill, experience, performance, responsibility, and effort. We may also consider an employee’s length of service, relevant education, training, or certification, and the requirements of a specific job. We may also consider whether the cost of living or competition for talent in specific markets requires adjustments in compensation for employees in those markets. Our goal is to fairly compensate all our Elevens based on these factors within the Company’s financial ability.   

Compensation may be increased or decreased at Inspire11’s discretion based on an employee’s performance reviews, market conditions, and the Company’s financial performance. Inspire11 will always notify an employee in writing before any change is made to their compensation.

All periodic bonuses are discretionary and are earned only when paid out.   

Each year, the Company will decide whether the Company’s financial performance, market performance, and business realities allow it to create an annual bonus pool. If the Company decides that annual bonuses may be awarded, then the Leadership Team will grant annual bonuses to employees in good standing based on the same factors discussed in the previous paragraph while also considering employees’ diligence, performance, expertise, skill, judgment, and experience.
