at Resource Innovations

🏢 About Resource Innovations

Resource Innovations stands out by focusing on practical, community-centered solutions for sustainable energy and water access, rather than just theoretical environmentalism. The company operates at the intersection of social impact and business viability, making it appealing for professionals who want their corporate strategy work to have tangible community benefits. Their Salt Lake City location positions them in a growing hub for both energy innovation and outdoor lifestyle.

About This Role

This Corporate Strategy Manager role serves as the operational backbone for Resource Innovations' growth initiatives, specifically managing the logistics and coordination of potential acquisitions and partnerships. You'll be directly involved in valuation modeling, due diligence processes, and post-acquisition integration planning for companies that align with their mission of accessible sustainable solutions. Your work ensures that strategic deals move efficiently from initial analysis through successful implementation.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve coordinating a diligence session schedule with a renewable energy target company, updating bid models based on newly received financial statements, managing document uploads to the virtual data room for internal team access, and facilitating a meeting between integration workstream leads to ensure smooth post-acquisition planning. You'll balance analytical work with project coordination across multiple stakeholders.
