  • Support 100-day planning, portfolio monitoring and exit readiness.

Candidate Profile:

  • 10-15+ years of relevant experience.
  • Prior PE / Portfolio Operations / Value Creation experience strongly preferred.

  • Strong financial, analytical and program-management skills.
  • Comfortable working with PE senior leadership and portfolio-company management teams.

Priority: Candidates with actual portfolio-company value creation and execution experience, rather than primarily transaction, research or strategy backgrounds.
