Partner closely with leadership across finance, operations, HR, and M&A to align legal strategy with business growth. Modernize legal operations using automation and AI-driven tools (e.g., Ironclad, Harvey, Spellbook, CoCounsel, Casetext).

Who Thrives Here Builders: You enjoy creating structure where little exists and can scale systems as the business grows. Integrators: You connect the dots across finance, operations, HR, and M&A to make legal a proactive function. Modernizers: You see technology as leverage, not disruption, and drive efficiency through smart tools. Pragmatic Partners: You're commercially minded and solution-oriented, not risk-averse or overly academic. Who Wouldn't Be a Fit Those seeking a large legal department or heavy external support structure. Attorneys who prefer to advise from a distance rather than execute alongside operators. Individuals uncomfortable with ambiguity, fast pivots, or entrepreneurial decision-making. Those resistant to adopting technology or rethinking traditional legal workflows. Culture & Environment The team values speed, transparency, and accountability. It's a small, high-trust environment where decisions are made quickly and collaboration is constant. Leadership expects thoughtful debate, clear communication, and a willingness to roll up your sleeves - no politics, no hierarchy, and no room for egos. #J-18808-Ljbffr

  • Executive Vice President, Sales & Marketing

    Next Step Recruitment 3.9company rating

    Chicago, IL job

    The Opportunity A privately held industrial business with a proven product line and established OEM relationships is poised for its next stage of growth. Current revenues are in the single-digit millions, with a clear trajectory to reach double digits in the near future. We are searching confidentially for a sales and marketing leader who combines strategic vision with hands-on execution. This is not a “sit above the business” role - it requires someone who thrives in a smaller company environment, with the discipline to build systems and the drive to personally deliver results. The EVP will be directly engaged with customers, own major negotiations, strengthen sales processes, and mentor a capable VP of Sales, while serving as the commercial voice at the executive table. Why Now The company has secured its operational foundation, established a strong base of OEM relationships, and is ready to scale. This EVP role is being created at a pivotal moment - where leadership can make a measurable impact on revenue growth, customer expansion, and the overall trajectory of the business. Confidential Search Executive Vice President, Sales & Marketing Location: Midwest U.S. (Chicago preferred) Travel: ~50% (higher in first year) Compensation: Base salary starting in the low $200Ks with performance-based incentives What You'll Do Grow Revenue: Lead the company through its next scale-up phase, establishing and executing a commercial strategy that supports sustained double-digit growth. Be With Customers: Spend roughly 75% of your time directly with OEMs, distributors, and partners - building trust, developing opportunities, negotiating contracts, and representing the company at trade shows and industry events. Negotiate & Close: Take ownership of high-value negotiations on contracts, pricing, and warranties, ensuring profitability and discipline. Own the Sales Process: Audit and improve existing systems for forecasting, proposal tracking, customer feedback, and follow-up, creating a culture of accountability. Lead & Mentor: Manage and develop the VP of Sales, instilling rigor and commercial acumen while coordinating with marketing and product teams. Expand Markets: Pursue new applications and international opportunities, balancing direct engagement with representative networks. Oversee Marketing: Ensure consistent and professional presence across social media, PR, digital platforms, and the company's upgraded website, aligning brand and growth goals. Executive Voice: Provide clear commercial insight to the CEO and leadership team, contributing to board-level strategy and planning. What Success Looks Like Accurate forecasts that inform company planning and investor confidence. Disciplined sales pipeline management with consistent follow-up and conversion. Stronger pricing discipline and profitable contracts. Expansion into new customer segments and geographies. Measurable revenue growth year over year. A VP of Sales who is more structured, accountable, and effective under your mentorship. The Sales Environment Sales Cycles: 6-12 months with distributors/integrators; 18-24 months with OEMs. Deal Scope: Production programs typically involve hundreds to low-thousands of units annually. Success depends on trust-building, prototype-to-production transitions, and disciplined follow-up - not high-volume consumer or automotive cycles. Customer Relationships: Established base of North American OEMs and select European customers, with opportunities for international expansion. Marketing Systems: Website management and social media presence in place but requiring structure and consistency. What We're Looking For 15+ years of progressive experience in senior B2B sales and marketing roles. Background in complex sales to OEMs or industrial manufacturers. Proven record of negotiating major customer contracts and driving profitable growth. Strong leadership and mentoring capabilities with experience developing accountable teams. Ability to expand internationally through reps and direct engagement. Entrepreneurial, ownership-oriented mindset - thrives in a nimble, smaller-company environment where follow-through matters. Bachelor's degree in a technical field required; MBA preferred. Why This Role Scope & Growth: Join a company with proven products and customers, ready for its next level of scale. Impact: A highly visible role where both strategy and execution are in your hands. Balance: Roughly half your time with customers, the rest across leadership, marketing, and executive reporting. Culture: Best suited to leaders who enjoy building systems, mentoring teams, and rolling up their sleeves - not those seeking a fully built-out corporate machine. Compensation: Competitive base ($200K+) plus incentive upside tied to results. Flexibility: Midwest base preferred; remote possible with frequent travel.

The platform runs in real time and requires operational excellence, fast decision-making, and strong judgment to keep transactions safe and reliable. The marketplace team combines industry veterans with people from analytics, operations, e-commerce, and risk backgrounds. The environment feels like a startup (quick pivots, rapid iteration, high visibility), but with the stability of a well-established business behind it. This is a company that values data, process, clear communication, and strong ownership. The team is growing quickly and looking for people who want to build long-term careers in marketplace operations, risk, and optimization. About the Role The Risk & Optimization Specialist helps protect marketplace integrity while enabling sellers to succeed. You'll review live events, monitor seller behavior, spot patterns in data, and coach partners to reduce operational errors, mitigate fraud risks, and improve fulfillment performance. This is not a policy-writing or purely analytical role - it is hands-on, judgment-heavy, operational work. You'll make real decisions every day that impact revenue, customer trust, and seller performance. What You'll Do This role sits at the center of marketplace operations. You will: Event & Transaction Risk Assessment • Review upcoming and active events to determine risk (delivery timelines, supply constraints, fulfillment challenges, fraud likelihood) • Flag events that require extra oversight and recommend specific actions • Identify unusual behavior or patterns that signal early risk • Track pricing activity, inventory movement, and market dynamics to stay ahead of potential issues Seller Performance & Coaching • Review seller activity and identify risky behaviors (late deliveries, inaccurate listings, cancellations, etc.) • Coach sellers on best practices for pricing, delivery, fulfillment accuracy, and policy adherence • Follow up with sellers to ensure improvements are made • Provide guidance that balances risk reduction with maintaining strong seller relationships Operational Adjustments & Optimization • Adjust seller settings such as delivery windows, order caps, and approvals based on performance data • Recommend changes to internal rules, thresholds, and scoring systems • Partner with operations, analytics, and product teams to improve automated risk controls • Support continuous improvements to event workflows and fulfillment safeguards Monitoring, Reporting, and Insights • Track trends at both seller and event levels • Create clear reports summarizing findings and actions taken • Surface insights to leadership regarding patterns, high-risk segments, and process gaps • Help refine the marketplace's broader risk strategy Who Thrives in This Role The right person: • Loves using data to understand patterns and predict issues • Enjoys fast-paced, high-stakes operational work • Is energized by solving ambiguous problems using judgment and structured thinking • Communicates clearly and confidently with external partners • Takes ownership - doesn't wait for direction to act when they see a risk • Balances being detail-oriented with being decisive • Likes coaching, training, and helping others improve • Wants to grow into marketplace ops, risk management, or analytics Who Struggles in This Role This role is not a fit for someone who: • Needs rigid structure or slow, predictable work • Prefers only high-level strategy and not hands-on operational tasks • Is uncomfortable making judgment calls with incomplete data • Avoids conflict or difficult coaching conversations • Struggles with shifting priorities and real-time decision-making • Prefers back-office work with little interaction • Doesn't enjoy working in a marketplace or e-commerce environment Qualifications • Bachelor's degree preferred OR equivalent experience in risk, analytics, customer operations, marketplace operations, or similar • Strong analytical skills and ability to interpret data patterns • Excellent communication skills - especially in coaching or advising others • Experience making structured decisions using data • Comfortable with fast-paced environments and changing conditions • Familiarity with ticketing, e-commerce, logistics, or marketplace operations is a plus but not required Next Step If this role feels like a strong match, please provide answers to the questions below. - Thanks!

  • Director of People

    Next Step Recruitment 3.9company rating

    Chicago, IL job

    Chicago, IL (Hybrid: 4+ days in office) We are looking for a Director of People who is first and foremost an HR operator - someone who cares deeply about accuracy, compliance, systems, and making sure the organization runs cleanly and consistently as it scales. This is not a culture, recruiting, or program-building role. It is the operational backbone for a fast-moving, multi-state business where clean data, compliant processes, and precise execution matter every single day. This person will be the steady, detail-driven leader who keeps all people-related functions running correctly - payroll, benefits, HR systems, documentation, policies, audits, and regulatory compliance. You are someone who notices the small things, fixes them before they become big things, and sets up structures that prevent problems from recurring. You bring discipline to the function and hold the organization to a high operational standard. The Director of People will work closely with the executive team and directly support managers across the business. You will be trusted to tell the truth, flag risks early, and maintain a consistent, compliant foundation even as the business grows quickly and the pace stays high. This role plays a highly impactful part in the company's trajectory - not by building culture initiatives, but by ensuring the company's people operations are reliable, compliant, and scalable. How This Role Fits Into the Team You will be the central owner of all HR operations, supported by finance, outside vendors, and administrative partners. The executive team relies on this role to: • Keep the company out of risk • Ensure payroll and benefits run correctly • Maintain spotless systems and data • Provide clear guidance to managers • Build and enforce consistent policies • Support growth by keeping the foundation solid You will partner most closely with: • Finance - compensation cycles, headcount reporting, payroll alignment • Operations leadership - performance documentation, ER support, compliance awareness • CEO/COO - policy decisions, risk management, workforce planning This is a fit for someone who finds satisfaction in being the steady expert, the person who ensures nothing slips through the cracks, and who prefers structure, clarity, and predictability over ambiguity or culture programming. What This Role Is Not To ensure clarity: this is intentionally not a “people and culture” role. It is not: • A recruiting-heavy role (minimal involvement; outsourced or handled by hiring managers) • A culture transformation or engagement strategy role • An L&D or talent development role • A diversity, equity, and inclusion function • A “build big programs from scratch” role If you prefer strategic culture work, high-visibility engagement programs, or talent acquisition ownership - this is not the right fit. If you prefer process, data, compliance, accuracy, and structure, this is the right fit. What Success Looks Like • HR systems run cleanly with accurate and reliable data • Payroll and benefits cycles are executed correctly and on time • Policies are clear, updated, and consistently applied • Managers receive precise guidance and follow it • Federal, state, and local compliance is always in place • Documentation is structured, timely, and audit-ready • Leadership receives accurate dashboards and headcount reporting • M&A activity is supported with clean due diligence and organized records • The company can scale because the HR foundation is strong and stable Key Responsibilities • Maintain compliance with all federal, state, and local employment laws • Own HRIS administration (Workday, ADP, Rippling, Paylocity, or similar), including workflows, reporting, and data integrity • Oversee payroll and benefits administration; manage vendor relationships, audits, and renewals • Lead policy development, employee documentation, and performance-related processes • Partner with finance on compensation cycles, bonuses, and headcount forecasts • Provide compliance-focused guidance to managers on employee relations matters • Maintain accurate, audit-ready employee files and system records • Deliver clean HR analytics and dashboards to executive leadership • Support M&A or organizational transitions through due diligence readiness and structured integration processes • Maintain process consistency across multiple locations and legal jurisdictions Preferred Background • 10-15 years of HR operations, compliance, or people systems experience • Proven success in multi-state or multi-entity environments • Hands-on experience with HRIS implementation and optimization • Strong understanding of payroll cycles, benefits, compensation, and audits • Comfortable running a lean HR function with limited administrative support • Experience in regulated or high-volume industries (fintech, lending, ticketing, ecommerce, logistics, etc.) • High degree of business literacy and comfort working directly with executives • Values precision, consistency, and structured processes Compensation $120,000-$150,000 base, with flexibility for exceptional experience.
