- Expand RRD’s footprint across multiple targeted portfolio companies by leveraging and proving early success.
- Network across the firm’s broader ecosystem to cross-sell and scale RRD’s services into additional portfolio assets.

- Must be physically based in one of the primary, highly regional PE hubs: East Coast (New York City / Greenwich, CT / Boston), Midwest (Chicago), or West Coast (San Francisco / Silicon Valley / Los Angeles).
- Secondary consideration for locations: Austin / Miami / Atlanta.
- Deep understanding of the core financial metrics driving the PE universe, including EBITDA, IRR, Multiple Expansion, and the execution of the 100-Day Plan.
- Ability to quickly master RRD’s diverse portfolio of services and translate them into levers for PE firm’s financial and operational objectives.
- Highly skilled in running low-volume, high-trust Account-Based Selling strategies tailored for long, complex institutional sales cycles.
