Operating Partner - The Brydon Group

The Brydon Group is a talent-first private equity firm based in Washington, DC. We partner with exceptional mid-career executives to acquire and build B2B, B2G, and healthcare software and tech-enabled services businesses.

Brydon combines deep investing experience with a hands-on approach to value creation. We work closely with portfolio company leadership teams to translate investment theses into practical operating plans, build durable growth systems, and prepare businesses for successful exits. Brydon is currently investing out of its $300 million Fund III and has completed more than 40 acquisitions.

We are seeking an Operating Partner to serve as the primary value creation partner and Board Chair to a defined group of Brydon portfolio companies, typically four to five businesses with similar sector or business-model profiles.

The Operating Partner will serve as Board Chair and as Brydon's day-to-day operating partner to each assigned company. This person will work closely with CEOs and leadership teams to drive execution against the investment thesis, operating plan, budget, and value creation agenda. The role combines governance, coaching, and hands-on execution support, with a particular focus on profitable growth, go-to-market effectiveness, pricing and packaging, product strategy, AI enablement, and add-on M&A.

Beyond direct company work, the Operating Partner will help institutionalize repeatable excellence across the portfolio by codifying playbooks, strengthening the Brydon Operating System, and scaling best practices across management teams.

This role is ideal for a seasoned consultant turned operator who thrives in fast-moving, ambiguous environments and has repeatedly helped leadership teams deliver measurable change and results in small- to mid-sized, PE-backed businesses.
