Zürich, Schweiz All interests aligned AG Vollzeit

As a Chief Executive Officer (Operating Partner) in All Interests Aligned's (AIA) Management Buy-In (MBI) Program, you will lead the acquisition and management of a high-potential, family-owned SME facing a succession challenge. Unlike a traditional job, this is a unique career path, offering you the opportunity to become a CEO-owner of a business, with the backing of investors who are successful entrepreneurs themselves.

Working closely with AIA, you’ll experience a fully-supported journey across all stages of the MBI process:

- ** Origination**: Identify and assess potential acquisition targets with AIA’s financial and strategic support. During this phase, you will be compensated, ensuring financial stability while you focus on building your acquisition pipeline.
- ** Deal Closing**: Partner with AIA’s investment professionals who lead due diligence, valuation, and deal structuring to secure the acquisition.
- ** Transition**: Take on the CEO role, with a structured transition plan that includes leadership handover and relationship-building with key stakeholders.
- ** Operation**: Lead the company’s operations, supported by AIA’s team in governance, reporting, and compliance to create and execute a value-driven growth plan.
- ** Exit**: Prepare and execute an exit strategy in partnership with AIA, maximizing returns and ensuring a sustainable future for the business.

**Industries & Investment Criteria**

AIA’s investment focus is on cash-flow positive, owner-operated SMEs across industries such as:

- Manufacturing
- Business & commercial services
- Transportation & storage services
- Consumer product & services
- Healthcare equipment & services
- Information technology
- Communications

Ideal acquisition targets meet the following criteria:

- Enterprise sales of between €10 - €40 million
- Consistent history of generating free cash flow (minimum 10% of sales)
- Established or stable growth, with a strong competitive position in underserved markets

These investment standards ensure that each acquisition aligns with AIA’s mission to solve the SME succession crisis in Europe.

**Selection Process**

Admission to the AIA MBI Program is rigorous, ensuring a strong fit between future CEOs and AIA’s mission. The multi-stage process includes leadership assessments, in-depth interviews, business case, development of an investment thesis and a final presentation to a panel of AIA leaders and external experts. The selection process typically spans 15-17 weeks, requiring 30-40 hours of preparation.
- **
Experience**: 15+ years of post-education experience, with a minimum of 5 years in a P&L accountable or general management role.
- ** Industry Expertise**: Proven success and deep expertise in a relevant industry that aligns with AIA’s investment strategy.
- ** Entrepreneurial Mindset**: Demonstrated resilience, grit, and a track record of overcoming challenges to achieve successful business outcomes.
- ** Emotional Readiness**: Prepared for the challenges of an entrepreneurial role, with a clear vision and passion for business growth.
- ** Balanced Ambition**: A combination of humility and a strong drive for success, with a clear understanding of how AIA can support your goals.
