Job ID: EB-2047684014
Category: Private Equity

Title: Senior Manager of Corporate Development & Strategy
Location: Boston Metro Area

Timing: Immediate/Near-term Start

Our client is building America’s manufacturing base and creating meaningful, sustainable jobs in areas that have been deindustrialized over the past 20-30 years. Our strategy is driven by acquiring domestic manufacturing and industrial technology businesses into a single ecosystem enabling the employment of technology, systems, deep financial resources, and best management practices to compete and win as manufacturers in the global market. The executive team is comprised of former private equity investors (American Capital), leaders from tech industries (Amazon), and operators & engineers (MIT) who have an extensive track record of successfully building world-class businesses. Our team raised $425 million of evergreen capital from an exclusive group of investors who believe passionately in what we are doing. Traditional private equity lacks the ability to benefit from technological collaboration among its investments and focuses on near-term improvements. Our structure facilitates investing for the long-term and developing outsized growth potential via driving step-changes in technology adoption and marrying best practices from high-growth tech businesses and operationally oriented private-equity investing. Over the next decades, we want to make a difference in the US Manufacturing economy and the communities in which we operate. We believe in the power of people and the long-term competitive advantage that can be derived from helping our employees achieve their fullest potential.
