I'm working with David Kennedy's PE firm, Serent Capital, to identify candidates for two roles.. David did a search fund - bought and grew Service Source with great success. I've been in/around search funds for many years at Stanford Business School.

These are the two roles I'm looking to fill

Join their internal growth team working with their portfolio companies with an eye towards moving into an operational role in one of the companies in 1-3 years (this need is ongoing, not just now)
-OR-
Direct placement into a CMO/BizDev/COO role with a portfolio company in Phoenix. The company is SafetyServices. Commuting in about 3 days a week is an option in this role.

Let me know if either one is of interested in either one. I'll post the JD for the first one as a PDF.

Thanks, Josh. I'll post the PDF here as well, but this is a role that is probably not appropriate for a newly minted MBA. They are seeking someone with MBA from a top 5 program, consulting experience with top 3 firm, AND a couple of years of operating experience. If there is an new graduating MBA that has all of those things, then there might be a fit. But my experience has been this is likely someone 2+ years post MBA.
