Acrisure Innovation•Austin, TX

About The Position

About Acrisure Acrisure is a global fintech leader empowering ambitious businesses and individuals with customized solutions that drive growth and impact. We combine cutting-edge technology with expert human support to deliver tailored insurance, reinsurance, payroll, benefits, cybersecurity, mortgage services, and more. In the last twelve years, Acrisure has grown from $38 million in revenue to nearly $5 billion and now employs more than 19,000 colleagues across 20+ countries. Built on entrepreneurial spirit, we prioritize leadership, accountability, and collaboration — equipping our teams to work at the highest levels and solve meaningful challenges. Role Summary & Mission The Value Partner is the independent steward of value integrity within the Palantir Center of Excellence. This role exists to ensure that the CoE's commitment to business value is not just articulated at the start of a use case, but rigorously measured, honestly reported, and decisively acted upon throughout the entire delivery lifecycle. The Value Partner facilitates the CoE's value measurement framework — from upfront Value Cases through Prototype Checkpoints to Recurring Realization cycles — and escalates over- or under-performance to leadership with clear, data-backed recommendations. This is a rare role that requires the analytical rigor of a finance professional, the communication skills of a management consultant, and the operational credibility to hold delivery teams accountable. The Value Partner does not build solutions — they ensure that everything built is worth building.
