We are excited to partner with one of our best manufacturing clients in Minnesota to identify their next Vice President of Information Technology:
Only open due to a coming retirement, this VP of Information Technology leads a technology function of around 25 people. Reporting to the CEO, this role oversees the strategic planning and implementation of our client’s information technology goals, aligning IT initiatives with business strategies. It evaluates departmental needs, prioritizes systems design and updates, and determines long-term hardware and systems requirements to support organizational objectives. This VP also develops and executes IT strategies to drive product innovation, operational efficiency, and profitability.
Founded 40 years year ago, our client has quickly grown into the premier manufacturers in their industry in the United States. Boasting over 4,500 completed projects across the world, they have over 800 employees and $300M+ in annual revenue. They have a phenomenal culture because their employees are also owners in the business; our client is one of the largest ESOPs (employee-owned) organizations in the Midwest.
Headquartered in suburban Minneapolis, this organization has seen incredible year over year growth for the last decade, and isn’t slowing down any time soon (they have not only added a shift, but have purchased multiple buildings to help facilitate their growth).
*** The position offers a very competitive base salary, annual bonus, and long-term incentive plan, in addition to strong benefits package. *** *** This is a hybrid position, as they offer a flexible work arrangement. ***
Our fast growing private-equity backed manufacturing and distribution client has retained us to identify their Vice President of Strategic Operations. This organization is private-equity owned, and is pursuing an aggressive acquisition strategy over the next 3-4 years (they purchased 4 companies in 2024 alone); this VP of Strategic Operations is the primary leader for the integration of the newly acquired companies, having responsibility for managing key strategic projects across their US portfolio.
Though the combined portfolio companies currently have a combined revenue of around $180M, they intend to more than double in size through acquisition in the next 3 years. This leader will be responsible for some of the most strategic projects across their portfolio, and will be part of their leadership program for executive leadership in the near future.
*** Our client offers a competitive base + bonus package, in addition to a very competitive equity package.*** *** They are headquartered in suburban Minneapolis, but there will be travel to a variety of their locations including Dallas, Atlanta, or Washington DC (25-35%, depending on the project).
.Position Overview: We are seeking a dynamic and results-driven Chief Operating Officer (COO) to oversee and optimize all aspects of our client’s day-to-day dairy production operation. As the COO, you will be responsible for driving operational efficiency, strategic growth, and ensuring the continued success and sustainability of our operations while maintaining the highest standards of quality that their brand is known for.
This is an exciting opportunity to lead a dedicated team and contribute to the growth of a company that produces exceptional dairy products in a fast-paced, innovative environment.

We have been retained by an exciting yet stable organization in the FinTech space to identify their next VP of Software Engineering. Reporting to the CIO, the VP of Software Engineering will lead a team of ~50 engineers in a truly transformational change for the organization in focusing on new digital products. Though the organization has 1,500 employees, the CIO is excited about driving innovation with these new products (more of a lift and shift model towards all cloud-based development with their legacy products), including developing microservices & API’s for their partners.
This role is definitely a “build” role; not just products, but also developing & cultivating a modern team of software engineers focused on some of the latest & greatest technology. Unlike many organizations looking to do this work, this organization is extremely stable, and has the backing of the CEO to pursue these initiatives because they are not just technological initiatives, but organizational ones.
Our clients offers a robust package overall, including a strong base + bonus, along with a strong benefits package.
*** Our client maintains a hybrid schedule, so the candidate will need to reside in the Twin Cities area, or the surrounding states with regular travel to Minneapolis. They are not providing visa sponsorship at this time. ***
