Director, Business Operations and M&A

Marine Concepts is the market leader in custom boat cover track systems: a patented, premium product trusted by thousands of customers across 100+ boat brands. Based near the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri with a growing presence in Charlotte, NC, the company designs, manufactures, and installs precision-fit boat protection systems. This is a small, fast-growing company with multiple business units, an active M&A pipeline, and a CEO who moves quickly. You’ll have exposure to every facet of the business from day one. This is a broad, dynamic “versatile generalist” role; part Chief of Staff, part Head of Corporate Development, part GM-in-training. You’ll work directly with the CEO on the company’s most important priorities, and those priorities will shift as the business evolves. One week you might be leading diligence on an acquisition target; the next, you’re diagnosing a commercial problem in one of our business units; the next, you’re rebuilding internal reporting or standing up a new operating cadence. What you’ll do: • Drive M&A execution — source targets, lead diligence, build financial models, and manage post-acquisition integration • Step into hands-on operational leadership of a business unit or growth initiative — own the day-to-day, diagnose problems, and drive results • Drive growth – own commercial initiatives, identifying growth levers, and driving topline performance across business units • Strengthen back-office operations — identify the biggest gaps in financial reporting, budgeting, or internal processes and fix them (or find the right people to fix them) • Serve as the CEO’s force multiplier — own the operating cadence, drive cross-functional priorities, and take hard problems off the CEO’s plate • Build with AI — bring an AI-native approach to problem-solving and help the organization adopt tools that create real leverage The trajectory: Within 12–18 months, the right person will be positioned to step into a full GM role over a business unit, lead an acquired company, or grow into a senior operational leadership position within the Marine Concepts platform. https://www.worldsbestboatcover.com/
