[Hiring] General Manager, Construction @Flex

Role Description

Flex is hiring a General Manager to build and run its construction business. You own the sector end to end: the strategy for winning it, the relationships and partnerships that open it, the product priorities it needs, and the P&L it produces. You build on Flex’s platform, balance sheet and teams, and you are responsible for making Flex the primary financial institution for construction.

The role is modeled on sector coverage at an investment bank. You decide which relationships matter, which partnerships can move hundreds of owners onto Flex at once, and what the product must deliver to win them. Flex’s product, credit, risk and member experience teams execute and service alongside you. The role reports directly to the CEO.

Construction is one of the largest and most capital-intensive owner-operated sectors in Flex’s range. Contractors, specialty trades, developers and building-products distributors carry long receivable cycles, bonding requirements and heavy equipment and payroll spend, and they decide where to bank on the advice of a small circle of sureties, lenders, associations and software vendors. The General Manager owns that circle.

• Map the sector and cover it.

Qualifications

• 7 to 12 years in investment banking, private credit, private equity, venture, or a senior commercial seat inside construction.
