Job Description
About Elevation Capital
Elevation Capital is a group of internationally impactful companies spanning consumer packaged goods, hospitality, technology, real estate, non-profit, and venture funding. Run by a highly entrepreneurial founder, supported by executives across business units, the business operates globally with interests in the US, Canada, Europe, and the Caribbean. With wholly owned companies in various growth stages and an expanding investment portfolio, the group serves a global vision to create an evolved world where humanity reaches its highest potential. Our mission is to create and deploy capital for a better world.
This key leadership role is in a high-growth, high-profit portfolio company of big thinkers and big doers. It is a CPG/beverage/dietary supplement company with a history of strong, profitable growth as the number one product and brand in its emerging category. Through its expanding sales and distribution network, the team is positioned to scale existing and new products globally, driving exponential revenue growth. The leadership team is in place, and the opportunity is to execute a scalable retail expansion strategy, optimize sales execution, and maximize category leadership on the path to a lucrative exit.
This is not a sleepy investment role. Please apply if you have significant experience in design, luxury construction, diversified family office operations, and growing and building multi-business group enterprises of significant value (250m+) in a fast-moving, founder-led environment. You must be high energy, deeply committed to growth and success, and highly technologically proficient.
About the role
As Managing Director, you will be the driving force that turns vision into reality — serving as the founder’s right hand and operational powerhouse. You will translate bold ideas into execution across a diverse group of companies spanning consumer brands, hospitality, technology, real estate, and venture investments. You will lead the operational engine of the group — integrating businesses, scaling systems, and ensuring every venture delivers performance and growth. Your mandate spans performance systems, leadership development, construction and land development, family office operations, risk management, and new business launches.
This is a builder role, not maintenance. You’ll thrive in complexity, move fast, and bring clarity and accountability to everything you touch. You will run the group for scale, profit, and exit — building systems and discipline that drive operational excellence and enterprise value creation. You’ll drive alignment and integration, ensure each unit performs at its highest level, and build the systems that allow the group to scale from hundreds of millions toward billions in enterprise value. You will design, hire, and lead high-performance teams across all businesses, ensuring the right leaders are in place and that every unit delivers on growth, performance, and profitability.
A core focus will be construction and real estate development — overseeing major projects across North America and the Caribbean, from luxury estates to commercial builds. You’ll manage the entire lifecycle: entitlements, budgeting, compliance, execution, and ROI. The founder is passionate about building but thrives when focused on vision; you will own execution with discipline and speed. This role is for a rare leader who can build both businesses and buildings and thrive in high-stakes, complex environments, growing a family office and multi-business group that is unique in the market today.
What you'll do
Translate the founder’s bold vision into reality by driving disciplined execution across all business units.
Lead design-build construction, real estate, and land development projects globally — from luxury estates to large-scale commercial and hospitality builds across private islands, corporate retreats, and wilderness luxury hospitality.

Drive operational integration, performance systems, and leadership development across the portfolio.
Drive near-term strategic exit of high-performing CPG portfolio company (>$1B).
Contribute to and drive leadership and team acquisition, operation, and an AI-first strategy to create technology that reduces the need to hire across the portfolio and prepares the organization for future technology developments.

Drive hiring, onboarding, and leadership performance systems across the group.
Launch, scale, and operationalize new ventures, acting as founder proxy when needed.
Support finance leadership with strategic oversight on budgeting, capital allocation, and ROI for major initiatives.
Build scalable operating systems that allow the group to grow from hundreds of millions toward billions in enterprise value.
Partner with bankers, investors, and key stakeholders on fundraising, capital projects, and major transactions.
Qualifications
5+ years’ executive experience as COO, President, MD, CEO, or similar in complex, high-paced, founder multi-entity organizations.
Advanced technology proficiency. Ability to operate in a remote environment, set agendas, and leverage data as an asset in an AI-first environment.
Prior successful experience reporting directly to, or working closely with, first-gen founders; a strong, verifiable track record of founder trust, alignment, and success.
Strong design/build capability for projects ranging from 1–50M with land development, zoning components including estate management.
MBA and CPA/CA preferred; strong command of finance, tax, capital structuring, budgeting, and investment.
Experience leading teams across finance, operations, legal, and investments.
Demonstrated ability to scale systems, teams, and performance across verticals.
Experience with real estate/land development, M&A, and venture integration is highly valuable.

Comfortable in high-growth, high-stakes environments that require both strategic thinking and hands-on execution.
