About the role

Engage on specific deals as a senior operator with platform experience across ag inputs, ag services, or agribusiness. Work on a per-engagement basis, typically three to twelve months per deal.

What You Will Do: Provide market intelligence on bolt-on targets, competitive landscape, and valuation context. Review confidential information memoranda and management presentations for sector-specific fit and risk. Participate in PE sponsor pitches and provide operational due diligence input.

What We Are Looking For: Senior operator (VP, President, GM, COO, CEO) with 15+ years in ag operations. Existing network of relationships with founders, family owners, and PE professionals. Comfort representing Fireclay professionally and handling non-public information. Compensation and Logistics: 1099 independent contractor with per-deal success fees. Optional retainer for active sourcing; equity participation on select engagements. Remote, US or Canada based, with minimal travel. Fireclay Partners is a veteran-owned middle market M&A and buy-side advisory firm based in Kansas City, serving private equity sponsors and family-owned businesses. The firm is small and pairs investment banking execution with senior operating expertise, bringing in industry advisors for deal sourcing and due diligence.

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.
