Director of Special Projects - Private Equity (Buy & Build Model)

PLEASE  TO SEE ALL OF OUR JOB OPENINGS!

This is the first hire on our Hold Co strategic operations team—a uniquely entrepreneurial and high-impact role. You’ll work directly with leadership team across strategy, operations, growth, and capital deployment, helping shape the company’s evolution.

You’ll play a critical role in how the company operates and scales: building new capabilities, optimizing portfolio performance, driving firmwide initiatives, and helping architect the long-term structure of the organization. This is not a traditional PE investing role—it is a core investor-operator position: you’ll be deeply involved in M&A and value creation, with expectations extending far beyond deal execution.

• Shape Firmwide Strategy:
  Partner directly with the co-CEOs and leadership team to design and drive the long-term strategic agenda—from market positioning to platform architecture to new growth opportunities.
• Drive Leadership Alignment:
  Orchestrate high-impact offsites, strategic reviews, and portfolio planning sessions that set direction and unlock clarity across the organization.
• Architect the Operating System:
  Build and refine the core mechanisms that keep the company executing at scale—from performance dashboards and operating reviews to strategic resource allocation and capital deployment.
• Lead Industry Thesis Development:
  Develop original investment theses, surfacing new sectors and opportunities aligned with the company’s model and capabilities.
• Execute Special Opportunity Investments:
  Lead the sourcing, diligence, and execution of select investments in industries not yet covered by existing platform teams—acting as a point person for the cofounders on “new frontier” bets.
• Partner on Capital Events:
  Work hand-in-hand with senior leadership on major firm initiatives— including platform exits, structured financings, and equity raises—where strategic and operational judgment are equally critical.
• Own Mission-Critical Initiatives:
  Serve as an execution partner to the co-CEOs and COO on high-leverage projects—spanning firm-building, technology enablement, portfolio optimization, and new platform launches.
• Institutionalize the Playbook:
  Capture learnings from across the portfolio to build enduring systems, culture, and intellectual capital—enabling scale without bureaucracy.

• Management consulting experience, Private equity investing experience, and Strong ethos alignment.
• Past operating or entrepreneurship experience is a plus.
