Position: Intrapreneur
Intrapreneurship at iPlace
iPlace starts at least one new business each year focused on the hiring process. Our continued growth depends on our ability to hire and develop leaders and managers who excel at running our new businesses. As an iPlace intrapreneur, you are responsible for innovation within the company through our Incubator Program. You will develop the skills required to succeed as an entrepreneur, but with much lower personal and financial risk.
Position Description
iPlace currently has five business units. Intrapreneurs complete three six-month rotations reporting to different business unit heads. During each rotation, the intrapreneur works on all phases of the business including developing and implementing business strategies, recruiter management, client management, financial management, quality and performance management, and training and professional development.
Through working on three rotations, the intrapreneur develops a deep understanding of how to start and operate a business. At the end of the third rotation (or earlier for intrapreneurs who join iPlace with entrepreneurial experience), the intrapreneur will launch a business through iPlace’s Incubator Program. If the new business is successful, it will be spun out as its own business unit headed by the intrapreneur. The intrapreneur will then be eligible to earn very large incentives based on the business unit’s revenue and profitability. In contrast to an entrepreneur who takes all the risks in starting a new business, iPlace will provide funding, resources, infrastructure, marketing, and coaching to get the new iPlace business unit established.
