Full Job Description
About the role

We have more good ideas than people to run them. This role takes the hardest, least-defined problems at Bobyard - new trade launches, acquisitions, pricing, new lines of business - and turns them into decisions, and then into operating businesses. You'll work directly with our CEO and leadership on what we do next.

The point of this job is that you outgrow it. The best version of this hire is running one of these businesses as a GM inside 18 months. You don't need an MBA. We'd rather you spend those two years here.

What you'll do
  • Own special projects end to end - from "should we do this" through "it's running"
  • Build the business case: size the market, model the economics, make a call, defend it
  • Evaluate acquisitions and new lines of business, then help run the ones we go after
  • Get in the weeds - talk to contractors, sit with sales and CS, learn the trade before you model it
  • Turn one-off projects into playbooks someone else can run
  • Bring leadership a recommendation, not a menu of options
  • Take over a P&L when the work earns it

What we're looking for
  • 2-4 years in investment banking, management consulting, or a comparable analytical seat
  • Top-tier undergrad with a strong academic record
  • First-principles thinking without the over-intellectualizing - you get to an answer and move
  • Excellent verbal communication: you can hold a room and make a case out loud, not just on a slide
  • Real quantitative chops - financial modeling, Excel, comfort with messy data
  • Something you've personally owned end to end, not just advised on
  • Bias to action. You'd rather be 80% right on Tuesday than 100% right next month.

Nice to have
  • SQL or hands-on analytics
  • M&A, diligence, or corp dev reps
  • Construction, real estate, industrials, or marketplace exposure
  • You've built or run something of your own

What we offer
  • A real path to running a business line, not a hypothetical one
  • A team that moves fast, owns outcomes, and doesn't hold meetings about meetings
