Managing Director of Value Creation/Transformation
Managing Director of Value Creation/Transformation Location: Remote (US) | Type: Full Time | Experience: 12+ years | Pay: $240K-$260K base + 50% bonus + equity
About the Role
We're hiring a Managing Director to build and scale a Value Creation practice, leading programs that move EBITDA for private equity clients and their portfolio companies. You'll own the work end to end: finding the opportunities, standing up the governance that keeps initiatives on track, and proving the financial impact to sponsors and boards. The firm is a private equity backed finance and accounting advisory firm that works alongside CFOs and PE sponsors on transactions, financial operations, and transformation. Value creation is a new, strategic practice for them, so this leader will shape the playbooks, the operating cadence, and the team that follows. If you've spent years helping portfolio companies hit their value creation plan and would rather build the practice than inherit one, this is that seat. The role is fully remote, and the team is moving quickly to fill it.
What You'll Do
Lead value creation initiatives across private equity clients and their portfolio companies Build the practice's value creation playbooks and operational improvement frameworks, then refine them as each engagement shows what works Identify and prioritize EBITDA opportunities across operations, finance, commercial, and corporate functions Stand up governance, initiative tracking, and performance management so every initiative has an owner, a plan, and a number attached Hold initiative owners and business leaders accountable for delivery Oversee value capture and benefits realization, including realized versus projected savings Board-ready dashboards, scorecards, and executive materials that leadership actually uses Run executive operating reviews and steering committee meetings Support business development, proposals, and practice building as the team grows Mentor junior team members and set the operating standards they'll work by
