About the team
Adapt Rapid Response is a scaled business solution, providing short-term support via a task-based assignment queue. ARR's primary function is to protect all unassigned revenue due to declined dedicated Adapt support for leave of absence (LOA) in Adapt’s established locales, preventing the randomization of the core teams due to attrition or unexpected business growth. Additionally, the team can be further optimized by pivoting to high priority needs (tentpoles, seasonality shifts) or accelerate business with time-bound initiatives (pitch sprints), as ARR is not tied to specific accounts. While the ARR service model is a limited coverage solution, removing high complexity activities, we are a strategically focused team and we hold a high standard for the quality of work we deliver.
