Accounting Manager
SkyWater is excited to be partnering again with a growing cooperative in the Twin Cities looking to add an Accounting Manager to their team!
Reporting directly to the CFO, this is a broad, hands-on role for someone who enjoys owning the accounting function but also wants exposure well beyond the traditional close. This person will oversee one direct report and have responsibility for financial reporting, AR/AP, member accounting, compliance, audit and accounting systems, while partnering closely across the organization on payroll, operations and process improvement.
They’re looking for 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally including 2+ years of accounting/finance management experience, and someone with strong general accounting knowledge across the full financial statements. More importantly, they want a builder – someone who can connect the dots across the business, identify opportunities to improve processes, and bring a collaborative, people-first approach while still being comfortable driving things forward. There’s also an exciting newer business line that could bring additional inventory and entity complexity as it grows.

Corporate Accountant
SkyWater is thrilled to be partnering with one of our best clients, a nationally renowned retailer headquartered right here in the Twin Cities, to add an experienced accounting professional to their team.
First, the company and culture. This is genuinely one of the most beautiful corporate spaces I have ever been in. You feel like you’re walking into a spa – natural light everywhere, plants, outdoor conference rooms, fitness center and wellness spaces. And employees actually get to enjoy it on a hybrid basis! The environment is a great reflection of the broader culture – people-centric, collaborative and a place where work-life balance isn’t just something they talk about.

The team is specifically looking for someone who is curious, self-driven and enjoys understanding the business behind the numbers.
Ideal background:
- 3+ years of accounting experience, ideally in industry
- Strong GAAP / general ledger foundation
- Strong Excel and analytical skills
- Large ERP experience preferred
- Excellent communication skills and ability to partner across the business

Litigation Associate
An AmLaw 200 firm with a national platform is seeking a litigation associate with 3+ years of experience to join its business and commercial litigation practice in New York. The work spans high-stakes litigation, arbitration, and trial matters.
Qualifications
- 3–6 years of commercial and business litigation experience
- Experience preparing pleadings, motions, and briefing on complex matters
- Proficiency with e-discovery and fact development
- Strong research, writing, and analytical skills, with the ability to work through complex factual, legal, and logistical issues
- Eligibility for admission or an active New York license; judicial clerkship experience preferred
The Opportunity
- A small, growing New York office recently expanded into larger space to support continued hiring, the day-to-day feel of a boutique with the resources of a national platform behind you
- Business litigation practice with a deep financial services and class action bench
- 1,850 billable hour target, with base salary set against that target
- Paid bar dues, bar association memberships, and CLE expenses
- Competitive benefits package, including generous leave policies
Compensation: $215,000–$250,000 base depending on experience, plus a discretionary merit bonus.
Distressed Debt Attorney
A financial services firm is adding an attorney to its New York legal department to support its credit and structured products businesses. This is a newly created position on a small legal team, reporting to a senior in-house lawyer.
The core of the role
Documentation for secondary loan trading in distressed situations. Credit agreements, security agreements, and intercreditor arrangements under both U.S. and European market standards, along with documentation for less conventional transactions.
The rest of it
Support for warehouse lending, asset-based facilities, and securitization matters, including review of transaction documents and legal opinions across several asset classes. There is also a general in-house component: monitoring regulatory developments affecting the platform, managing outside counsel and legal spend, and handling confidentiality agreements, engagement letters, and related matters.
You will work directly with the business rather than through layers, which means early ownership of substantive workstreams and regular contact with the people generating the transactions.
Requirements
- 3-5 years of finance, banking, or structured finance experience at a well regarded law firm. In-house experience at a financial institution also considered.
- Hands on experience with syndicated loan documentation involving distressed assets. Familiarity with both U.S. and European market standards is a differentiator. This is the requirement that is not flexible.
- JD and active admission to the New York bar in good standing
- Exposure to structured finance is welcome but not required
- Must be authorized to work in the United States on a permanent basis. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
Base salary of $200,000 to $225,000 depending on experience. The role is bonus eligible. Comprehensive benefits. Three days per week in office.

Operations Manager
The Branch Operations Manager will direct and supervise the staff and day-to-day operations in the assigned branch location, ensuring delivery of quality customer service and achievement of sales or productivity goals.
Product Development Engineer
SkyWater is partnering with a growing medical device manufacturer in Upstate New York to hire a Product Development Engineer for their engineering team! Our client recently received FDA approval for a key product line and is entering an exciting growth phase, scaling from small-batch manufacturing into a commercialized business with an expanding product pipeline. This is a great opportunity to help build and shape a product development function almost from the ground up, working on new IP and next-generation product design. We’re looking for a hands-on Engineer with 3-5 years of medical device (or similar regulated industry experience) product development experience, and strong SolidWorks skills. If you’re looking for an opportunity to join an innovative, growing organization where your work can make a big impact, then please submit your resume today to be considered for this exciting opportunity!
VP of Software Engineering
SkyWater has been retained by a private equity backed SaaS company in the Twin Cities Metro to attract and hire a VP of Software Engineering. This is a newly created leadership seat, not a backfill. The company has been around more than 20 years and is looking to shift from a tech-enabled business to a true software and data company.
As the VP, you would own the technology roadmap end to end. That includes leading a team of 15+ engineers, migrating a legacy on-prem environment to the cloud, standing up compliance, and building out new self-serve, BI-driven product tools for customers and their partners. You would work closely with a product leader on the roadmap but own the technology function outright and report into the senior leadership team.
Non-negotiables: hands-on experience taking a company through a real cloud modernization, current and genuine use of AI-assisted development tools and workflows, and the ability to work in office in the Metro (with flexibility).
What makes this worth leaving a current seat for: real ownership of a technology function at a growth-stage company with fresh capital behind it, a builder’s mandate with room to shape the org and the stack from close to scratch, and equity participation tied to the company’s next phase of growth.
Base salary is in the low to mid 200s, with bonus and equity potential. To apply or learn more, reach out confidentially to Zac Kallas at SkyWater Search Partners.
