The Opportunity

We are partnering with a private equity-backed field services platform to recruit a Vice President of Corporate Development to help drive the company's next phase of growth. The business is highly acquisitive and actively evaluating multiple opportunities, with a strong pipeline expected to translate into near-term LOIs and continued transaction activity.

This is a hands-on corporate development role for someone who wants to operate at the intersection of M&A, business development, and execution. The VP of Corporate Development will partner closely with the CEO and private equity sponsor to source and evaluate acquisitions, lead diligence efforts, support integration planning, and help drive strategic growth initiatives across the platform.

The role is ideal for someone with a foundation in investment banking, private equity, or corporate development who wants to be closer to operators, execution, and long-term value creation within a growing platform environment.
