Director Corporate Strategy

The Opportunity

Our company has just completed one of the most successful exits from KKR’s industrials portfolio and is now backed by a premier private equity firm, Leonard Green Partners (LGP). With three operating businesses — GeoStabilization International (GSI), ALC, and RoadGuard — we are scaling rapidly, with significant white space for growth through both organic expansion and inorganic investment.

We are seeking a Director of Corporate Strategy to serve as a direct partner to the CEO and executive team. This role is designed for a top-tier strategy professional ready to move from advising to executing — someone eager to apply consulting-honed skills to real-world ownership, value creation, and enterprise building.

This is not an “advisory only” role. You’ll sit at the center of decision-making, translating strategy into execution alongside operators in the field, finance, business development, and our PE partners. For the right candidate, this is a springboard into senior leadership roles across the portfolio.

Why This Role?

For a top-tier consultant looking to make the leap into operating roles, this is the chance to:

• Work side-by-side with a seasoned CEO and PE partners on value creation.
• Gain line of sight into board-level decision making and portfolio company dynamics.
• Drive both strategy design and hands-on execution in a high-growth, high-impact environment.
• Build a career trajectory that can lead to GM, COO, or CEO roles within a PE-backed platform.

What You’ll Do

You will architect and operationalize growth across our businesses, balancing bold thinking with pragmatic execution:

• Growth Portfolio & Prioritization
  Develop and continuously refine the enterprise growth roadmap, ensuring the leadership team allocates resources to the highest-return opportunities.
• Market & Service Expansion (Organic Growth)
  Partner with business leaders to launch new geographies and service offerings. Design entry playbooks, validate business cases, and support execution to profitability.
• Inorganic Growth & Corporate Development
  Build and manage a pipeline of M&A and partnership opportunities. Lead market scans, deal evaluation, diligence, and integration planning — with a focus on tangible value creation.
• Pricing & Margin Discipline
  Introduce pricing frameworks and margin analytics that operators can apply in real time to strengthen profitability.
• Strategic Enablement
  Convene cross-functional teams (“tiger teams”) to drive high-priority initiatives. Translate strategic choices into clear operating actions and repeatable playbooks.
• Communication & Influence
  Distill complexity into clarity. Influence across the boardroom and the field, ensuring alignment and visible progress against goals.

Impact Measures

Your success will be measured not by activity, but by outcomes:

• Expansion into new markets and services that deliver profitable growth.
• Acquisitions and partnerships that are sourced, executed, and integrated with measurable synergies.
• Stronger backlog, margin performance, and cash conversion.
• Repeatable frameworks for market entry, pricing, and integration.
• A clear, durable growth agenda recognized by leadership, the board, and our PE partners.

Candidate Profile:

Ideal background:

• MBA and the results to show you’ve applied it.
• Current or recent experience at a premier consulting firm with progression to Engagement Manager/Project Leader level or equivalent.
• Proven success driving strategy and execution across growth, pricing, M&A, or operations-focused engagements.
• Strong analytical foundation (financial modeling, market scans, operational diligence).
• Exposure to private equity, portfolio companies, or high-growth industrial services/infrastructure preferred.

Traits that thrive here:

• Strategic athlete with high learning velocity and intellectual curiosity.
• Comfortable moving from board-level frameworks to field-level execution.
• Resilient under pressure, with a bias for action and ownership.
• Builds trust and credibility across diverse stakeholders — from the PE boardroom to the jobsite.
• Sees ambiguity as opportunity; excels in building structure where none exists.

Location & Travel

• Primary location: Westminster, CO (HQ). Onsite presence is essential.
• Relocation required (company supported).
• ~30% travel across North America for diligence, site visits, and integration.

Compensation

• Salary $175,000 - $240,000
• 25% bonus
• Participation in the equity share program with significant equity opportunity
• Full range of benefits including medical, dental, flexible PTO, 401k with 4% match and others
