Chicago, Illinois, United States Lyra Technology Group Full time

Lyra Technology Group is looking to develop its next class of leaders We are seeking talented analysts to learn our business, build operational and management skills, and assume executive level roles over time.

A bit about Lyra...

Lyra Technology Group is a family of industry leading technology service businesses. Our companies are operated independently by exceptional management teams. Companies that join our group retain the employees, name, and culture that have made them successful. As a platform of Evergreen Services Group, we never divest from businesses we partner with and approach every decision with the goal of driving sustainable and healthy growth over the long term.

We made our first acquisition at the beginning of 2018. Now, we hold a controlling stake in 70+ companies and are continuing to grow. Our companies employ over 3000 team members and sit across the entire globe. Each company is led by its own management team and we are incredibly proud of the work they do.

What sets us apart are three things: our buy and hold strategy, our company's local autonomous management, and our scale.

1. Unlike typical Private Equity investments with a three-to-five-year liquidation strategy, we buy businesses and invest in them for the long-term. We believe in the value of our acquisitions and want to grow.

2. We bought our companies because they already had success in the marketplace. Instead of asking them to conform to a unified platform, we allow companies to keep their team, culture and branding in place.

3. We enjoy the best of both worlds, small company culture and big business resources. We leverage our collective scale for strategic partnerships, shared resources, and buying power.

And it's working was our best year yet. We exceeded our revenue goals and finished the year with 100% employee engagement.

Your work as an Operating Executive Development Analyst involves several components:

1. Learn the metrics and KPIs of our businesses, allowing contributions to platform-wide projects and initiatives.

2. Spend time immersed in our Operating Companies, getting hands on mentorship from senior leaders.

3. Develop cross-functional skills in areas like operations and people management.

4. Work closely with our Board to better understand our strategy and how to executive.

5. Spend your first year as an analyst, learning the Lyra model. Years two and three are spent in a VP level role at an operating company. Then you are on your way to CEO by year four.

In addition, you will also have an opportunity to work closely with, learn from, and share perspectives with the group of peers across our businesses. Your community will include ambitious early career professionals as well as those navigating their first few years as senior executives.

We are looking for smart, motivated future leaders who are looking to "roll up their sleeves" and hungry to make an impact by stewarding a business over the long-term. We have had tremendous success in empowering managers early in their career and giving them more responsibility than others would be comfortable with. We offer exceptional people the opportunity to meaningfully accelerate their career trajectory.

If leading a company in the tech space sounds appealing to you, let's have a conversation.
