Generalist Vice President
Chenmark
Chenmark is a long-term oriented holding company with an accelerated CEO training program providing the support, hands-on experience, and resources needed to develop tomorrow's small business leaders.
We work with retiring owners and current entrepreneurs to provide liquidity, preserve legacies, and position companies for long-term success. Chenmark companies share a commitment to our core values of: Chasing Better, Keeping Score, Playing the Long Game, and Putting the Team First.
Chenmark is currently seeking a Generalist Vice President (GVP). The Chenmark GVP Program is designed to give individuals with the drive to run a small business the skills and experience needed to do so. This program sets GVPs on a course for success while helping Chenmark grow in line with our core values.
Successful GVPs spend one to three years progressing through the three-stage program. Advancement is based on the balance of performance, skillset, and the availability of opportunities at existing companies and newly acquired businesses.
The GVP journey consists of three stages: GVP, SLT, and CEO.
GVP: This stage provides the GVP with the chance to work directly with our leadership team in Portland, Maine. During this stage, the GVP's time is split between M&A work and working with our operating companies on a constantly varied mix of challenges related to sales, operations, HR, finance, and technology, among other things.
SLT: In this stage, the GVP is given the opportunity to be part of the senior leadership team at one of our companies, working and learning alongside the CEO who is often a former GVP themselves. This direct operating responsibility, and exposure to small business management creates an ideal training ground for our future CEOs.
CEO: This stage involves stepping into the primary leadership role at one of our companies. This is the final step in the program where you get handed the keys to a small business that is then yours to run with the support of Chenmark.
