About the role
About the Company:
Our client is part of a growing group of steel companies operating across the U.S. and Canada.

The leadership team operates collaboratively using EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System), including strategic planning, Rocks, leadership meetings, and cross-company initiatives. Senior leaders have opportunities to work with other companies throughout the organization, participate in leadership meetings and travel, and build relationships across the broader group. For an accomplished steel professional who has been successful where they are but is ready for a bigger platform, greater influence, and the next step in their career, this is a compelling opportunity.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
