We are partnering with a PE backed company who manufactures everything from military support shelters (currently sending some to Maui), to music festival and wedding tents. They are currently projected to increase revenue by 40% over the next three years.
This is a high exposure role reporting directly to the controller and CEO with a lot of room to grow with the company. A great opportunity for someone to get into Private Equity.
