Position Summary This is an entrepreneurial, fast-paced role at the center of Three Strands Group’s growth, spanning corporate development and corporate strategy. Reporting to the Vice President of Corporate Development, the Associate pairs rigorous financial and quantitative analysis with the qualitative side of the work: shaping strategy, running complex projects and partnering directly with senior leadership. In a given week, that could mean evaluating a new venture, structuring a new partnership, sizing a capital decision and turning an approved initiative into an operating reality, often all at the same time.

The right candidate is highly organized, comfortable with ambiguity and energized by autonomy: someone who can take a loosely defined problem, figure out what matters and come back with a clear, well-reasoned recommendation.

Key Responsibilities Financial Analysis & Modeling Build and maintain financial models – pro formas, growth and sensitivity models, cash forecasts and ownership or distribution waterfalls – that inform decisions across the businesses.

Analyze the economics of business lines, revenue-sharing arrangements, translating results into clear takeaways on margin, breakeven, payback and returns.

Support holding-company budgeting, rolling forecasts and monthly performance reporting in partnership with the finance and accounting team.

New Ventures, Partnerships & Capital Support the evaluation of new ventures, joint ventures, partnerships and acquisitions through market research, financial diligence, valuation and scenario analysis.

Help prepare lender and investor materials, data requests and diligence responses for capital initiatives.

Review term sheets and agreements for economic terms and flag gaps between the legal documents and the model.

Project Planning & Execution Manage workplans, timelines, trackers and open items across several concurrent initiatives, reprioritizing as needs shift.

Coordinate with internal teams (finance, operations, compliance, legal, HR) and outside parties (counsel, lenders, partners) to gather inputs and keep work streams on schedule.

Help take approved initiatives from concept to implementation – templates, processes, onboarding materials and reporting that let the business run them.

Executive Materials & Communication Turn loosely defined asks into structured first drafts – model, analysis or presentations – with assumptions stated, open questions flagged and a recommendation.

Draft presentations, memos and summaries for the VP of Corporate Development and senior leadership that lay out options, tradeoffs and a recommendation.

Build reusable tools – model, statement, deck and memo templates, AI skills and automated routines – that improve the team’s speed and consistency.

Core Competencies Alignment with the companies values and culture.

Professionalism, integrity, and discretion in all interactions.

Accountability for execution, outcomes, and follow-through.

Strong organizational and time-management skills.

Clear, professional written and verbal communication.

Ability to work independently while contributing effectively in a collaborative team environment.

Sound judgment…
