General Manager

General Manager Red Deer Capital builds and advises traditional-economy businesses that need capital, strategy, and operational discipline to scale. As General Manager you will own day-to-day execution and growth so our principals can focus on deals. This role turns a lean advisory shop into a repeatable, profitable platform that delivers measurable value to owners and investors. Performance Objectives Grow annual recurring advisory and investment-management revenue 40% within 18 months by converting at least eight qualified traditional-economy clients. Stand up a repeatable client-onboarding and reporting process that cuts time-to-first-value from 90 to 45 days and raises Net Promoter Score above 70. Build and manage a $1.2 M operating budget that delivers 25%+ EBITDA while funding two new service lines (capital-raise support and operational turnaround). Recruit, coach, and retain a core team of four (analyst, associate, operations coordinator, junior advisor) so utilization stays above 75% and voluntary turnover stays under 10%. Close or co-lead two principal investments or recapitalizations per year that generate 2.5x MOIC within 36 months. Implement a simple CRM-plus-pipeline system that gives partners weekly visibility on every live opportunity and forecast accuracy within 10%. Environment & Resources You report directly to the founding principals. The current team is three people; you will hire the next four. Tools include standard financial-modeling suites, a light CRM, and outsourced legal/accounting. You control the operating budget and have authority to engage specialists as needed. Work is hybrid with travel to client sites in resource, manufacturing, and agribusiness sectors. Essential Qualifications 7+ years running P&L or client-delivery operations inside a boutique advisory, PE, or family-office environment serving traditional industries. Proven track record converting at least $2 M of new advisory or investment revenue in a similar small-firm setting. Hands-on experience building repeatable processes (onboarding, reporting, pipeline) that scaled a team from 3 to 8 without adding bureaucracy. Comfort owning a modest investment pipeline and co-underwriting deals alongside principals. Ability to hire and coach junior talent while remaining the primary client-facing operator. Role Selling Points Direct equity participation in the firm’s carry and any new principal investments you originate. True general-manager autonomy—no layers, no politics—inside a 1-10 person firm that values speed over process. Exposure to real operating businesses in sectors that still run on cash flow, not hype. Opportunity to design the operating system that will define Red Deer Capital’s next decade. #J-18808-Ljbffr TriSearch
