SkyWater is seeking a strategic finance leader for a top-tier financial institution in Minneapolis, MN. Reporting to the CFO, you will play a crucial role in guiding the organization’s financial strategy, decision-making, and performance. This SVP position leads and contributes to the financial analysis, modeling, and investment evaluation to drive business growth and maximize stakeholder value.
In this newly created strategic finance role, you will work closely with senior management and the board of directors to provide actionable financial insights, ensure alignment with organizational goals, and lead financial processes that promote cross-functional collaboration within the organization.
Growing firm with $1bn AUM targeting $100bn AUM in 4-5 years. Rapid inorganic growth is driving hiring needs for strong corporate development professionals — this person will be #2 in the Corp Dev group and join the company on the ground floor of what will be phenomenal growth.
Ideal candidates have 3-6 years experience in Big 4 FDD, buy/sell-side investment banking, or corporate development and are comfortable with ambiguity/gray space. This is not a role where you will be tightly managed — we are seeking someone who knows when and where to be and can take significant ownership of the business.
SkyWater is excited to be representing a PE-backed manufacturing client who is hiring a newly created Operations Controller to support their growth. This is a great time to get involved with a company that is expanding through both strategic acquisitions and organic growth, and to play a key role in supporting the business as it continues to scale.
This is an onsite role based in the Twin Cities, with flexibility to work from home when needed. Due to the in-person nature of the position, only local candidates currently living in the Twin Cities will be considered at this time.
We’ve been engaged by a dynamic construction organization with a top-tier finance and accounting team to identify a newly added accounting manager – but this isn’t your typical accounting manager role. This person will be a “corporate mercenary” involved in operational accounting, M&A integrations, FP&A and operational cross-functional work, and special projects focused on value creation/process improvement.
The organization is growing quickly both organically and through acquisitions and there is tons of interesting work to be done. This is a fantastic role to build leadership skillsets, take ownership over significant parts of the business, and see/do a variety of things in a short amount of time. The role reports to a Controller we’ve known for years who is a high-EQ leader with a track record of developing talent, and also has a Big 4 & top-tier consulting background.
Ideal candidates have 5+ years of exeprience, ideally a Big 4 accounting foundation, and experience with M&A integration and complex accounting issues. CPA preferred.
We are working with a $1B Midwestern asset manager who is seeking its first dedicated Institutional Sales Director to accelerate the firm’s expansion into the consultant and institutional investor market. This is a rare ground-floor opportunity to build an institutional presence for a respected, performance-driven investment firm with long-standing PM leadership and a strong retail foundation.
As the inaugural salesperson, you will shape the go-to-market strategy, develop consultant and allocator relationships, and drive new mandates across the U.S. You’ll partner closely with senior portfolio managers, gain deep insight into high-quality core equity strategies and play a pivotal role in elevating the firm’s institutional visibility.
What Sets This Apart:
Wide-open territory. Direct PM access. Thoughtful compensation with strong performance upside. Meaningful runway to build something lasting.
***We are looking for Mid-West based candidates only at this time

Incredibly unique strategic finance leadership role for a growing CPG org near Madison, Wisconsin. This is with a company that has a track record of hiring up-and-coming talent and stretching them into leadership roles — if you’ve ever wanted to be CFO, this is the place to get the right experience.
Our client is seeking someone who can own the entire P&L, lead a team, present to the board, and build processes/models from scratch. This will be heavily involved in commercial finance/partnership across the sales organization as well, so will have a direct hand in driving revenue growth and optimizing company results. The organization has Fortune 500 leadership across the board and high standards for the talent they hire.
They have an incredibly meritocratic, highly collaborative culture and you’ll work under a CFO who is a high-EQ leader that is heavily focused on growing and mentoring his team. You would be second-in-command for the entire finance org so from a visibility and growth perspective, it does not get better than this.
The best part? I’m looking for up-and-comers for this. The ideal candidate will have either public company FLDP/rotational program OR PE-backed FP&A experience, and currently be a Finance Manager who is looking to take the next step up.
