Job description

Chief Transformation Officer

Location: Las Vegas area | Experience: 10 to 15+ years

About the Role

You’ll step into a hands‑on transformation seat as the CEO's right hand, leading the work that moves EBITDA and enterprise value across a global testing, inspection, and certification business serving a highly regulated industry.

The company was built by its founder and is now backed by a global private equity firm, with the founder‑CEO still in place. This role is focused on pricing, AI, cost efficiency, and the operating discipline needed to help a founder‑led business run like a mid‑sized PE‑backed company. This is an operating job, not a strategy deck job.
