Chief Executive Officer

Chief Executive Officer | PE-Backed Multi-Site Business | Manchester

Significant Six Figure Salary + Bonus + Wealth Creation

A private equity-backed business with a strong integrated platform, clear buy-and-build strategy and ambitious but achievable growth targets is seeking an exceptional CEO. A strong senior leadership team is already in place. The equity opportunity is material.

The Role

Full P&L ownership across a complex, multi-site operation. The priorities are pace of commercial and operational execution, active M&A delivery and driving a high-performance culture through to a value-maximising exit.

The Candidate

• Proven CEO or senior operator, ideally with direct PE-backed experience — or from a fast-moving, lean corporate environment where delivery and accountability are non-negotiable
• Background in businesses where the efficient deployment of mobile assets and large, dispersed workforces are central to performance — logistics, distribution, facilities management or adjacent sectors
• Multi-site operational track record at comparable scale
• Financially astute, M&A-capable and comfortable leading through a PE investment cycle
