Job Description

Associate to the Chairman — GVW Group (OnSite, Miami, FL)

GVW Group is a privately held industrial and investment holding company building and scaling businesses that disrupt legacy industries. We operate with relentless customercentric innovation, strategic discipline, and operational excellence — all driven by a culture of loyalty, ownership, and results.

We’re looking for an Associate to the Chairman — a deeply embedded, hightrust operator who becomes an extension of the Chairman himself. This is not an assistant’s role. It’s not a typical strategy role. It’s a forcemultiplier role for someone who thrives in intensity, moves fast, and executes even faster.

If you want proximity to highstakes decisions, transformative projects, and entrepreneurial leadership at the highest level — this is the center of gravity.

What You’ll Own

Operational Execution & Strategic Implementation

  • Turn the Chairman’s vision into reality through handson execution and structured project ownership.
  • Lead critical initiatives endtoend — M&A, turnarounds, strategic planning, confidential projects.
  • Step into operational gaps, triage issues, stabilize performance, and drive accountability.
  • Ensure projects move with speed, clarity, and surgical followthrough.

Market Intelligence & Business Development

  • Conduct market research, competitive benchmarking, and performance assessments.
  • Build investment theses, support capital allocation, and vet M&A/JV opportunities.
  • Represent the Chairman in earlystage partner or acquisition conversations.

Chairman Integration & Rhythm

  • Anticipate needs before they’re spoken.
  • Draft communications, talking points, and presentations in the Chairman’s tone.
  • Maintain realtime visibility into all major initiatives, risks, and stakeholder dynamics.
  • Ensure the Chairman is always informed, equipped, and never blindsided.

Relationship Management & Influence

  • Navigate seamlessly from factory floors to boardrooms.
  • Engage family members, executives, investors, and advisors with discretion and emotional intelligence.
  • Build quiet influence behind the scenes — steering outcomes without needing credit.

Who You Are

  • 6–10 years in highstakes environments: consulting, investment banking, private equity, military leadership, or entrepreneurial operating roles.
  • Proven track record of delivering outcomes under pressure and ambiguity.
  • Strong financial fluency (modeling, forecasting, P&L).
  • Project management mastery across multiple concurrent initiatives.
  • Industrial, manufacturing, logistics, or B2B exposure is a plus.
  • MBA preferred.

Core Traits

  • Loyal — the Chairman’s priorities become your priorities.
  • Discreet — trusted with sensitive matters; nothing leaks.
  • Urgent — execution is relentless; today beats tomorrow.
  • Egoless — credit is irrelevant; results are everything.
  • Proactive & Precise — you move fast, think ahead, and ask when unsure.
  • EyeLevel Communicator — credible with shop workers and CEOs alike.
  • Doer — not just a thinker.

Location & Requirements

  • Miami, Florida — Onsite daily
  • Travel as needed
  • Irregular hours when required

What We Offer

  • We offer an attractive compensation and benefits package, to include base salary, incentive bonus opportunities, and benefits including comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and life and AD&D insurance, and short-term and long-term disability.
  • 401(k) with a company match to help you invest in your future.
  • Paid time off (PTO) and company holidays to rest, recharge, and maintain work-life balance.
  • A high-impact role with real ownership.
