Tucker's Farm Background

• We are a low-profile, value-oriented holding vehicle modeled after Berkshire Hathaway. The founders/investment team is comprised of value investors from Apollo Global Management (~$80bn private equity group) and Viking Global Investors (~$50bn hedge fund). We have various portfolio companies or ‘platforms’ (also known as rollups, aggregations or buy-and-builds). Each platform is capitalized with a long-term equity base and has the sole mandate of compounding cash flows for the long term, primarily through M&A. We have a broad mandate and look for opportunities across industries, geographies and the capital structure, although our primary focus is on rollups. We are investing out of our $110M holding company vehicle.

OVERVIEW OF CEO/CIO ROLE/RESPONSIBILITIES

• M&A/lntegration (75%)
  

  • Deploy ~$100M of equity through strategic acquisitions.
  • Source and evaluate acquisition opportunities in coordination with Tucker's Farm M&A team.
  • Lead integration of acquired businesses and develop playbook for future platform expansion.

• Platform Leadership (25%)

  • Lead operations of the platform after the acquisition of the first asset. This includes (1) providing daily operational leadership and strategic direction across all business units; (2) overseeing budgeting, forecasting, and resource allocation via clear KPIs (and holding team members accountable); (3) leading recruitment, training, and development of management team members.
    

SUMMARY TRADE-OFFS OF THE OPPORTUNITY

1. You will be a CEO / CIO of a growing/highly acquisitive PE-backed platform with commensurate equity upside.

2. You will learn from a highly successful PE team with a top investing track record.

3. You will have a big title and significant responsibility.

4. You will have a lot of fun in a scrappy, entrepreneurial environment.

5. You will be doing a lot of highly operational, hands-on work.

6. If joining a large, established company with a big brand is appealing to you or you enjoy structured environments, then this opportunity is not a fit.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Stellar references:

  • Our process relies heavily on ‘off-sheet’ references on past performance. We typically find a way to connect with 5-10 past co-workers and senior people (but we will not contact your current employer without your permission).​

• Low career turnover:

  • Excluding business school (and related internships), less than 3 jobs in the last 5 years. ​

• Highly organized:

  • High attention to detail, highly responsive, consistent, and conscientious.​

• Executional rockstar:

  • Superb at to-do-lists, general execution and project management including managing multiple workstreams and teams of people (internal and external, including employees, customers, suppliers, lawyers, accountants etc.). We need an executional rockstar that keeps the trains running on time and makes sure all the t's are crossed and i's are dotted.

• Solutions-oriented:

  • Scrappy, problem-solving, and does not need structure or direction to thrive.​

• JD is a plus but not required.

• Manage our ATS and establish consistent data hygiene, reporting, and pipeline visibility for leadership.
• Build Tucker’s Farm's employer brand — careers page, social presence, candidate experience.
• Own time-to-fill, offer acceptance rate, quality of hire, and sourcing channel ROI as core KPIs.
