  • Build trusted relationships with stakeholders internally and externally
  • Work alongside KSL portfolio company management teams to lead strategic, analytical, and operational improvements (e.g. revenue growth, operations efficiency, CAPEX planning an execution)



Desired Skills and Experience:

  • Strong strategic thinking and analytical reasoning skills
  • Advanced financial modelling, clear intellectual horsepower, and problem-solving capabilities
  • Ability to leverage data, financial analysis, and operational metrics to drive recommendations and decision making
