Senior Manager, Data
SkyWater has partnered with a global manufacturer with operations across dozens of countries is building a formal customer data function from the ground up, and this is the first hire into it. The company just brought on a counterpart to own supply side master data. Now they need someone to do the same on the customer side: hierarchies, legal entity structures, segmentation, and the master data rules that make the customer record trustworthy across every system that touches it.
This is an individual contributor role reporting to the VP of Data and Analytics, with the CTO directly involved in the hiring. There is no team to inherit and no existing playbook. You would be building the customer MDM function and the data quality standards largely from scratch. A separate team owns broader data governance, so this role stays focused on the customer domain specifically.
What is required: manufacturing or B2B industry experience, hands on MDM work (Informatica or a comparable platform), advanced SQL for data quality analysis and root cause work, and comfort operating without a fully built structure around you.
Compensation is targeted in the 175 to 180 range with 20 percent bonus potential. Location is SW Metro, four days onsite.
If you are a senior or principal level data professional who wants ownership of a domain from day one rather than inheriting someone else’s mess, reach out confidentially to discuss.
Investment Banking Associate/VP
Our client, a highly regarded financial institution in the Twin Cities, is seeking Investment Banking Associates/VPs — this is a fantastic opportunity for someone at a smaller lower-middle-market or boutique to step up to an upper-middle-market shop, or for those at bulge brackets to step into better culture/work like balance.
Compensation will be top-range of middle market investment banking comp and the pedigree of people this firm hires is second to none. Whether you plan on staying in investment banking the rest of your career or will eventually seek exit opportunities into PE/Corp Dev/Corp Finance this is the place to be.
Candidates looking to relocate from other markets are welcome to apply — relocation assistance can be provided. Our client is not offering visa sponsorship at this time.

This person should be comfortable setting direction, developing leaders, improving margins, working across departments, and using data and technology to build a stronger and more scalable operation.

Our client is a trial-focused firm with a general commercial litigation practice. The attorneys have tried dozens of cases to verdict, and the firm is small by design, built around the idea that associates should be developing as trial lawyers rather than sitting on the sidelines of large teams.
The role
You will take on substantive writing, deposition, and motion practice responsibilities from the outset, with direct partner contact and real ownership of your matters.
What we are looking for
- 2 to 6 years of litigation experience
- Demonstrated writing, deposition, and motion practice responsibility
- Minnesota bar admission or eligibility
Hours and compensation
A 1,700 hour billable requirement with incentive compensation at additional benchmarks. Competitive base salary and full benefits.
National Sales Manager

The President has been carrying national sales responsibility alongside other executive duties and is ready to hand it off. This is a ground-floor leadership role at a profitable, technically driven niche manufacturer with decades of market presence. The right person will own the number, lead a small field team, and build on a strong foundation including a real knowledge transfer from two retiring senior reps.
Candidates with backgrounds in food manufacturing, animal feed, grain handling, wood products, or industrial fixed fire suppression will find the customer base and selling environment immediately familiar. This is an education-based sale where technical credibility wins accounts and keeps them. Total compensation is $210K-$230K+.

We are partnering with a well-established, growing organization seeking a Senior Financial Analyst to support corporate functions through budgeting, forecasting, financial reporting, and strategic analysis.

Associate, Valuations
We are partnered with a growing Advisory firm located in the Twin Cities actively hiring due to growth. This firm offers a variety of consulting services to privately held, closely held, family owned, and PE-backed organizations.
This specific role is a fantastic opportunity for someone with 3-5 years of valuations experience who is looking for better work-life-balance, faster career growth, and a phenomenal culture of no-ego professionals.
This is NOT a good role for someone who wants to be stuck alone in spreadsheets all day — we are seeking someone who enjoys client interaction, socializing with colleagues, and can bring energy to a room.
