In this role, you’ll be joining the team that helps their clients automate multi-clouds, multi-vendors, processes, applications and infrastructure. You will work with modern technologies like AWS, Kubernetes, Ansible and Terraform to name a few. We are looking for someone with not just the technical acumen and strong desire to learn new technology platforms, but someone that also has excellent soft skills.

Boutique Investment Bank in the Greater Minneapolis area seeking an Investment Banking Associate for their team. This bank has a true family-feel, offers fantastic work-life-balance and upside, and is a great place to be for anyone who wants to have increased ownership over the deals they work on.
Average 50-60/hr work weeks and a “leave your laptop at home when on vacation” culture, this is a “no ego” firm where leadership prioritizes time with family. There are very few investment banking roles with this sort of balance and upside.
Ideal candidates have 1-3 years of investment banking, transaction advisory, FDD or valuations experience. If you are in TAS/FDD at an audit firm, this is your chance to break into IB.
Fantastic opportunity to join a multi-billion dollar AUM investment firm in downtown Minneapolis and make an impact on a growing business.
This is a newly created role due to growth and will be involved in FP&A, Fund Accounting, Investor Relations, and AI-initiatives. You’ll work on ad-hoc analysis and reporting for their portfolio, budgeting/forecasting, monthly accounting cycle for multiple funds, and support quarterly valuation processes. The firm leverages Claude and ChatGPT enterprise-wide and even has an “AI bonus pool” allocated to be distributed to employees who come up with new ideas/processes using AI.
The culture is fantastic — no ego policy, young and energetic leadership, and an agile business that encourages their people to “fail fast and fail often” — there are no bad ideas and is a great opportunity for someone who is excited by ambiguity.
The ideal candidate has between 2-5 years of experience in Public Accounting Audit with financial services clients or prior Fund Accounting/Analyst experience. CPA preferred.

The position sits at the intersection of accounting and operations, supporting the full lifecycle of project-based accounting within a professional services environment.

2+ years of accounting experience
Experience working in an ERP environment; NetSuite is a plus
Project accounting experience is a must, including managing projects from setup through invoicing (T&M, fixed fee, etc.)
Ability to track and manage time, materials, and project-related financial data
This role is highly cross-functional and offers strong visibility across the business. The team is looking for someone who is detail-oriented, collaborative, and eager to learn — someone who wants to build their skillset in a hands-on environment.
If you’re looking for a role where you can gain meaningful exposure and be part of a strong, team-oriented culture, this is a great opportunity to explore – CRabon@skywatersearch.com | 952.767.9025
We’re partnering with Harley-Davidson, an iconic, globally recognized consumer brand with deep heritage and one of the most emotionally connected customer bases in its category. The business operates through a dealer-driven model, requiring tight alignment between national marketing strategy and local execution.
The company is currently evolving its marketing approach, moving from a historically performance-heavy model to a more integrated, full-funnel strategy that better connects brand storytelling with measurable business outcomes.
The Opportunity
This is a critical role in modernizing how media drives growth.
Today, media has been heavily focused on lower-funnel performance metrics. The opportunity is to build a more balanced, full-funnel media strategy, one that supports brand building while still delivering measurable results at the dealer level.
You will play a central role in connecting national campaigns to local impact, while helping the organization think differently about measurement, attribution, and media effectiveness.

Lead the development and execution of a full-funnel media strategy across digital, social, search, programmatic, and video
Manage and optimize a significant media investment, ensuring both efficiency and impact
Translate brand and product priorities into clear, actionable media plans
Connect national media efforts to dealer-level outcomes and performance
Evolve attribution and measurement approaches to better capture long-term and full-journey impact
Partner closely with brand, creative, retail, and analytics teams to deliver integrated campaigns
Lead external agency partners and ensure strong strategic and executional alignment
What Success Looks Like
Media strategy evolves from primarily lower-funnel to true full-funnel orchestration
Improved ability to connect media investment to both brand and business outcomes
Stronger alignment between national campaigns and dealer-level performance
More sophisticated use of data, testing, and measurement
Cross-functional teams operate in a more integrated and collaborative way
Media becomes a strategic driver of growth, not just a support function
Ideal Background
10–15+ years of experience in paid media, performance marketing, or integrated media strategy
Experience managing large-scale media budgets
Deep expertise across modern media channels and platforms
Strong understanding of full-funnel strategy and attribution models
Experience working within complex or distributed business models (dealer, retail, franchise, etc.)
Background in either in-house brand environments or leading agencies
Who Thrives Here
Strategic thinkers who are also hands-on problem solvers
Individuals comfortable navigating ambiguity and change
Leaders who collaborate effectively across teams and functions
People who balance data-driven thinking with practical execution
Why This Role
Opportunity to help build a modern media function within an iconic brand
High-impact role with visibility across marketing and leadership
Chance to shape how media contributes to both brand and business growth
A role that blends strategy, analytics, and execution
