• Develop and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) and operational dashboards to track progress against value creation goals.
• Assist in the recruitment of key executives to strengthen portfolio company management teams.
• Lead or oversee specific high-impact projects, such as new market entry, digital transformation, pricing strategy, or M&A integration.
• Collaborate closely with the investment team to assess the operational opportunities and risks of potential investments during the due diligence process.

• A demonstrable track record of driving significant operational improvement, revenue growth, and profitability.
• Experience in one or more of Filion's core sector focus areas is highly preferred.

• Exceptional problem-solving, project management, and change management skills.
• Outstanding interpersonal and influencing skills, with the ability to build trust and effectively advise seasoned management teams.
• A "hands-on" and pragmatic mindset; willing to roll up sleeves and execute, not just advise.
• Ability to thrive in a lean, entrepreneurial environment and manage multiple priorities.

What We Offer

• A unique opportunity to have a direct, measurable impact on the success of growing companies.
• A compensation structure that directly aligns with the value you create through carried interest.
