Teamshares is seeking a Financial Performance Portfolio Operations Lead to help scale the way we drive financial performance across our portfolio of ~90 network companies. This is a portfolio-wide, infrastructure-oriented role; focused not on individual company engagements, but on building the systems, data foundations, and operational models that allow the entire Financial Performance team to operate more effectively and consistently.
Reporting to the VP, Financial Performance, you will sit at the intersection of data, operations, and product, turning raw information into reliable intelligence, building scalable processes that travel across the portfolio, and partnering with our product team to make sure the tools we build actually get used. This role requires someone equally comfortable in the weeds of a data model and in a room full of stakeholders.

2+ years of operating & project leadership experience inside a trades-based business, home services company, or enterprise-level general contracting firms

Demonstrated ability to earn the trust of operators and field-based teams — you understand how trades businesses work and can have credible conversations with people who’ve been doing this for decades

-
Strong project management skills — you can manage multiple workstreams across multiple companies without losing track of what matters

-
Willingness to travel 50%+ of the time, including extended on-site periods during active company engagements

Analytical enough to read a P&L, identify the signal in operating data, and know when something is wrong before it becomes a crisis — even if financial modeling is not your primary skil

Design, build, and continuously improve the operational infrastructure that allows Teamshares' Financial Performance model to scale efficiently across the portfolio.

Partner with Operations Leads and Industry Leads to embed scalable practices in day-to-day engagement with presidents.

Synthesize planning outputs into portfolio-level views that inform resource allocation and executive decision-making.
