I’m excited to be partnering with a hiring manager I’ve known for over 15 years (!!!) to add a Staff Accountant to his team at a privately held manufacturing company in the Twin Cities.
This is not a “plug-and-play” accounting role.
He’s actively rebuilding the function and is looking for someone who wants to roll up their sleeves, take ownership, and be part of elevating the team. I’ve worked with him both personally and professionally, and he’s someone who will invest in the right person while also pushing them to grow.

I’m excited to be partnering with one of my best PE-backed clients to add a newly created Senior Accountant to their team!
This role will report directly to the Controller (who I had the opportunity to place) and is a great opportunity for someone who wants to grow, gain exposure to the business, and have a seat at the table.
This is a highly visible role where you’ll work closely with operations and leadership, not just sit behind the scenes.

Please note that this company values on-site collaboration.

Unique opportunity to join an early-stage logistics start-up in Chicago to lead their billing and accounts payable processes and implement best practices. This will work directly with operational leadership to build and define how this corner of the business operates, and they are ideally looking for someone who can act as a strategic advisor as they scale and grow.
This is an incredibly unique opportunity to build something and get in at the ground floor of a growing business — There is tons of headroom to take on more responsibility as the company expands and will accelerate your career quickly if you are motivated to do so.
Ideal candidates have multiple years of logisitcs AP/AR/Billing experience.
We’re partnering with a growing, operationally focused manufacturing organization seeking a hands-on accounting professional who wants more than just a “close and report” role. This is a highly visible position where you’ll partner cross-functionally, influence decision-making, and play a key role in improving cost accuracy, operational efficiency, and financial performance. If you enjoy digging into data, understanding how things are made, and driving real business impact, this is the kind of role that will keep you engaged.
We’re partnering with a growth-oriented manufacturing organization to hire an Accounting Manager to lead plant-level finance. This is a highly visible, hands-on role where you’ll sit at the intersection of accounting and operations, owning the numbers while influencing how the business runs. This isn’t a “review and delegate” position. You’ll be in the details, partnering directly with plant leadership, and helping bring structure, insight, and accountability to a fast-moving environment.
SkyWater is excited to partner with a leading Midwest-based nonprofit healthcare organization (~$500M revenue) as they bring on a Vice President of Finance to step into a clearly defined CFO succession plan within 6-9 months.
This is a rare opportunity to join a mission-driven organization at scale while shaping the future of its financial strategy and infrastructure.
Initially focused on operational finance leadership, you will oversee financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and regional finance teams across a multi-site organization. In short order, you will transition into the CFO role, assuming responsibility for enterprise financial strategy, capital planning, treasury, revenue cycle, and technology alignment.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
Defined, near-term path to CFO
Significant influence on organizational transformation
Mission-driven culture with strong leadership alignment
Opportunity to modernize systems and drive enterprise impact
What if your analytics work directly drove $100M+ business decisions?
If you are looking for a role that operates at the intersection of strategy, operations, and data where you’ll partner directly with executive leadership to help shape business decisions, this is the opportunity for you!
SkyWater is thrilled to be partnering with a rapidly scaling, data-driven services company as they look to hire a Director of Strategic Analytics. This is a fully remote position focused on building and leading a high-impact analytics function. It’s a true “build + influence” opportunity reporting directly to the President, not a reporting role. As the head of this department, you will define KPI’s, build dashboards, and drive strategy across the full business lifecycle (marketing ? operations ? case outcomes).
This organization has grown to $400M in revenue with strong profitability and is on a trajectory towards multi-billion-dollar scale, and analytics will sit at the center of that growth.
What Sets This Apart:
Direct influence on company-wide strategy
Fully remote, high-performance culture
Opportunity to build analytics from the ground up
Significant growth trajectory and executive visibility
SkyWater Search Partners is excited to partner with a highly respected boutique investment bank in Edina, Minnesota, to identify an Investment Banking Associate to join their growing team.

As an Investment Banking Associate, you will play a key role in executing live M&A and capital raising mandates, supporting clients through every stage of the deal lifecycle. This role offers a unique blend of analytical rigor, client exposure, and hands-on deal execution.
This firm is known for delivering high-impact advisory services across mergers and acquisitions, capital raising, restructuring, and strategic consulting. Their client base spans public and private companies, private equity firms, lenders, and growth-stage businesses across a range of industries.
This is an excellent opportunity to join an entrepreneurial, high-performing team where you will work directly with senior bankers and gain meaningful exposure to live transactions, particularly within the renewable fuels and agribusiness sectors.
