2d•$175,000 - $200,000

About The Position

This opportunity is with a high-growth, private equity-backed precision manufacturing platform serving leading MedTech and industrial customers. The business operates globally with manufacturing sites in the U.S. and Europe. Approximately 75% of revenue is derived from MedTech, and the company is scaling rapidly through a combination of organic initiatives and an active acquisition strategy. With strong profitability, no debt, and multiple acquisitions currently under LOI, the company is investing in strategic leadership to ensure successful integration and sustained value creation as the platform expands. The Director of Strategic Initiatives / Value Creation is a newly created role designed to support the company's next phase of growth. Reporting directly to the CEO, this leader will sit at the center of the inorganic and organic value creation agenda—owning integration execution for near-term acquisitions while also driving broader strategic initiatives across operations and commercial effectiveness. At the outset, the role is heavily focused on M&A execution and post-merger integration (PMI), with responsibility for ensuring that acquired businesses are stabilized and integrated into the operating model within the first 3-6 months post-close. Over time, the role expands into enterprise-wide value creation initiatives tied to performance improvement, operating cadence, and scalable growth. This is a rare opportunity to step into a highly visible value creation role inside a profitable, PE-backed MedTech manufacturing platform at an inflection point. The Director of Strategic Initiatives will work directly with the CEO and play a pivotal role in shaping how the company scales, integrates acquisitions, and builds the processes and operating cadence required for the next stage of global growth.

Requirements

8-12+ years of experience including top-tier consulting (MBB or equivalent), private equity value creation, investment banking, corporate development, or a combination of these.
Meaningful exposure to manufacturing environments—either through direct industry roles or deep, on-site operational project work (not purely desktop strategy).
Strong integration and transformation skillset, with the ability to lead cross-functional teams through ambiguity and tight timelines.
Commercial and operational orientation; comfortable moving between strategy and hands-on execution.
Exceptional analytical, communication, and stakeholder-management ability; trusted presence with executives.

PE-backed experience strongly preferred, particularly in buy-and-build or roll-up settings.

Responsibilities

Partner with the CEO, executive team, and PE sponsor to support ongoing acquisition activity.
Lead integration planning and Day 1 readiness across key workstreams (operations, finance, commercial, HR, systems).

Track and report integration progress, risks, and value realization against the deal thesis.
Identify and execute high-priority strategic and operational initiatives tied to revenue growth, EBITDA improvement, and scalability.
Build repeatable frameworks, dashboards, and operating rhythms to support better decision-making and execution discipline.
Lead cross-functional initiatives that cut across manufacturing, supply chain, commercial, and back-office teams.
Support leadership in defining priorities, translating strategy into workplans, and ensuring delivery against targets.
Serve as a high-trust partner to the CEO and senior leadership team.
Prepare concise, data-driven updates for executive leadership and board discussions.
Work directly with functional leaders to diagnose operational challenges, align on solutions, and drive follow-through.
