Job Description

Welcome to NextGen Growth Partners' 2025 EIR Application.

Our firm partners with aspiring CEOs to search for, acquire, operate, and grow thriving businesses across a diverse range of industries. In turn, we provide support every step of the way, with mentorship, access to our advisory board and operating partners, a proven playbook, and the capital needed to fund acquisitions, including opportunities for outside co-investment.

Our Ideal Candidate

Once you partner with a business, you'll relocate and step into the role you've been preparing for-leading the company with vision and purpose.

Post-Acquisition, you'll transition into overseeing the day-to-day operations of the business as its new CEO, developing the long-term mission and strategic vision of the company alongside the Board of Directors. With the support of NGP, you will spearhead the development and implementation of effective value creation strategies; build company culture and lead teams; and shepherd the business into its next phase of growth.
