  • The Portfolio Leader we're looking for has already run a company at the GM/CEO level and is ready to scale that judgment across a portfolio.
  • This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role for an operator who thinks like an investor - someone who can move fluidly between the details of one OpCo's P&L and the strategic trade-offs of an entire cluster.

  • Own hiring, performance management, and succession planning at the GM level within your cluster.
  • Support 100-day planning and early integration for newly acquired companies joining the cluster.
  • Capital Allocation & Strategic Finance Partner with your Operating Partner to determine where to invest, when to return capital, and how to balance risk and return across your cluster.
  • Provide financial modeling and scenario analysis to support decisions at the cluster level.
  • Experience developing and coaching other operators; a track record of building bench strength, not just hitting your own numbers.
  • An ability to translate performance and trade-offs into clear narratives for GMs, your Operating Partner, and leadership.

Requirements
