Description

Our client is a lower middle-market private equity sponsored manufacturer of highly engineered components for defense and aerospace primarily serving large aerospace and blue-chip defense manufacturers. The company is seeking to recruit a dynamic and hands-on Chief Executive Officer who will wear multiple hats as they create value and expand through competitive sales strategies while driving operational improvements across the organization.

We are seeking a proven leader with a track record of success in building solid, high growth organizations with a focus on operational excellence. You will ideally have prior success in leading a private equity-backed middle market precision machining business supporting the aerospace and defense sector. Preferred will be a candidate who has seen best practices and process in a large corporate environment and who has also translated those practices into what was previously a founder-run or entrepreneurial company.  You will be comfortable leading transformation, expansion and commercial growth initiatives. You will have an in-depth understanding of implementing quality systems into organizations and will have a strong focus on driving both sales and operational excellence across the organization.

An attractive compensation package is on offer that will include bonus opportunities and substantial equity participation.
