Looking for a job?
Let Zippia find it for you.
Brydon CEO-in-Residence (2026 Cohort)
The Brydon Group
Executive director job in Washington, DC
At the Brydon Group, we accelerate the trajectory of outstanding mid-career operators who want to become CEOs and build and grow industry-leading platforms with private equity support, resources and capital.
Brydon CEO-in-Residence (CIR) Program:
Brydon selects 6 mid-career executives each year to back as Brydon CEOs:
We invest the equity to support you during a two-year sourcing phase
We look to invest $25-30M of equity (+ additional debt) behind each platform (between initial equity check and add-on acquisitions)
CEO-in-Residence
We look to partner with CIRs / CIR teams who have operating and/or industry experience, typically 5-12 years out of business school or equivalent
We believe that industry-focus theses win: our CIR applicants either submit sub-industries / areas of interest or expand upon several of Brydon's core theses (vertical market software, regulatory & compliance services, technical services, healthcare services, etc.) based on their backgrounds
For example:
You are a Partner at a consulting firm with extensive work experience and deep understanding of the growth levers in a sub-industry. You are interested in operating and building equity value in that sub-industry
You worked on a PE-backed roll-up and see a similar opportunity to pursue a thesis with dedicated capital and support
You ran a P&L or were General Manager in a vertical and know the space well. You see an opportunity to buy small “mom and pops” in the space to build an industry-leading platform
Do you have a thesis-based acquisition approach? Know an industry or have an angle on an interesting niche? We would love to discuss it
Don't have an industry thesis? We have several industries where we have deep relationships and experience and are looking for CIRs: Vertical SaaS (with a sub-focus), GovTech, B2B Services, Healthcare / Healthcare Tech, Targeted Roll-Ups, Compliance / Regulatory Software & Services
We're happy to leverage our relationships and expertise to help you build out an area of focus
Better Economics: Salary and Equity
We fund our CIRs at higher salary levels commensurate with their experience
Mix of In-Person & Remote
The CIR program kicks off with a week of intensive training in the Caribbean focused on sourcing, CRM best practices, and due diligence; our CIRs begin reaching out to owners within their first week (and on average our CIRs are under LOI / in the CEO seat within a year)
We strongly encourage CIRs to base and focus their sourcing efforts where they want to live
Through weekly one-on-ones, cohort calls and quarterly in-person off sites around the US, our CIRs build great connections and friendships, share insights and advice, and support one another throughout the challenges of sourcing and operating a small business
Better Support: Private Equity Sourcing, Diligence and Operating Resources
We have backed 4 cohorts and 22 individuals/teams to acquire small businesses in software, business services and healthcare services (and others)
Our Brydon team is “in the trenches” sourcing deals with our CIRs (in fact, we have sourced over half of the deals that we and our CIRs have closed in the last two years!)
We understand how frustrating it can feel to “re-create the wheel” when it comes to sourcing, diligence, valuation, deal structures, and operating best practices
We bring playbooks and best practices from large-cap PE and work hand-in-hand with our CIRs and CEOs to apply them across the full journey: from sourcing to diligence to closing and operating (including an existing deal sourcing engine and a dedicated investment team at Brydon)
The proof is in our results: On average, our CIRs are under LOI / in the CEO seat within a year
Application Process
Please submit your application by January 30th, 2026 at 11:59pm PST. Early applications are encouraged and we make official offers by early March
Selected individuals undergo an interview and background-check process with several rounds of interviews (including in-person sessions with the Brydon leadership team and a final round thesis presentation)
CEO-in-Residence offers will be made in March and the cohort start date will be May 12, 2026 in the Bahamas
Any questions? Please email *****************
If you are interested in submitting as a partnered team, please do submit two individual applications and indicate that you are applying as a partner / pair (fine to include the same answers to the application questions in each application)
We'll host an additional virtual information session on 8 Jan. (register here) that answers the most frequent questions we get about our approach, our industry / vertical areas of investment, this program and the application process, etc.

Chief Operating Officer
Acord (Association for Cooperative Operations Research and Development
Executive director job in Washington, DC
The Land Trust Alliance has been a cornerstone of the private land conservation movement in the U.S. for more than 40 years, serving as the voice of the land trust community. As the national leader in policy, standards and education, we have been instrumental in growing the land trust community in impact, influence and excellence. We work passionately to support a member network of more than 1,000 land trusts and partners across America so they can save more land and better serve their communities.
Our natural places and working lands are a lifeline to clean air, water, food and good health. These lands also bring us together, inspire us and provide opportunities to recreate and recharge. The land trust community is a crucial component in this equation. With important places under continual threat, land trusts need access to the best tools, information and policy advocates. Armed with a diverse network and valuable resources, the Alliance is the land trust community's source for the knowledge and capabilities they need to reach their goals. From tax and funding policies on Capitol Hill to innovative ideas, partnerships and initiatives, we ensure our land trust members can always be heard and achieve more.
The Alliance is committed to building the constituency for conservation. Our team focuses on growing the capacity of land trusts to build public support and nonpartisan political influence in favor of private land conservation. At the same time, we work to elevate and promote the work of the Alliance and its programs to our members, funders and other key stakeholders. We envision a reenergized, more relevant conservation movement in which land trusts join with partners that have not traditionally identified as conservation organizations, including from the for-profit sector, around our shared interest of protecting special places.
Organizationally, the Alliance has grown rapidly in the last eight years, and we are now on the cusp of launching a year-long planning process to develop the organization's next strategic plan, which will guide our programmatic priorities and organizational development over the next decade. To better support our mission delivery and organizational growth, we also recently undertook a complete digital transformation to upgrade and update key systems underpinning our work, including finance, member relationships, education and events, fundraising, website and strategic communications. This process engaged every department in the organization and continues to transform the way we work.
