Operating Executive - New Zealand

at  Evergreen Services Group

Evergreen Services Group is a San Francisco based holding company that acquires and operates B2B services companies across North America. Since its founding in late 2017, Evergreen has completed 80+ acquisitions across Managed IT Services, Cybersecurity, Financial Software and Government Services. We are driven by a people first mission to marry capital allocation with inspired operations, thus creating North America’s best home for businesses.
The Evergreen holding company team is comprised of 35+ professionals based in San Francisco who are focused on capital allocation, M&A, executive level hiring, strategic board leadership, and finance and accounting. Evergreen is a uniquely long-term oriented holding company that seeks to hold and grow businesses indefinitely rather than follow the 5-7 year holding period of a typical private equity fund. This allows us to take a truly long-term view on performance and people. Evergreen is backed by Alpine Investors, a leading private equity firm focused on the services and software industries with $16B+ in AUM.

THE OPPORTUNITY:

We are looking for Operating Executives to take on high-impact leadership roles within new businesses acquired as part of Evergreen’s expansion into the UK Market.

The ideal candidate will be able to make difficult trade-off decisions between growth and profitability, hold teams accountable to budgets and targets, and create a winning environment of support and success.
