About the role

Jump in to assist portfolio company leaders with key initiatives - negotiating a new contract, developing and coaching on a hiring plan for a key management role, helping identify new vendors for a critical project, or managing bank permissions and authorities
Lead CEO/President/GM hiring processes when sellers retire or a leader needs to be replaced
Lead Weekly Metrics calls and Monthly Book Reviews with portco leadership on an iterative journey towards data-driven management
Design senior and second-level-leader compensation and incentive programs for individual portcos
Project targeted quarterly distributions and support portco leaders to achieve targeted results

You'll excel if you can move from the boardroom to the factory floor or construction site with ease.
We like "scrappy" around here, so if you know what it means to roll up your sleeves and serve, and you genuinely enjoy doing so, you'll like this gig.
You are a mid-career leader who has had senior-level leadership experience, and been in the final decision makers seat.
You are a high EQ 'leader of leaders' who can toggle easily between highly-directive (when needed, usually rarely) and leadership-by-influence (more common) styles
You have equal comfort with implementing structured reporting systems (like disciplined quarterly "board" meetings) and connecting relationally on a jobsite with entry-level, hourly employees
You have a high capacity for rapid context switching between the varied issues across multiple portfolio companies several times a day
You have a good sense of humor … you take your work seriously, but not yourself
you enjoy moving mountains, pushing initiatives forward, and driving successful outcomes with a willingness to jump in and do hands-on work

An undergraduate degree in Business, Finance, or a related field
an MBA or other relevant graduate degree is a plus
10+ years of post-undergrad work experience, with a broad base of business and leadership experience, including hands-on operating experience as a business owner or leader in a SMB with P&L responsibility
experience successfully scaling and exiting a SMB is a plus
