About Meridian Capital Partners

Meridian Capital Partners (MCP) is an early-stage, operator-led investment and growth firm built to help ambitious companies move from capital to execution, traction, and sustainable scale.

MCP operates through two interconnected engines

Growth & Operating Services

— providing hands-on growth, marketing, sales, talent, technology, and operational support to investor-backed and high-growth companies.

Investment & Asset Development

— selectively investing in, incubating, acquiring, and building companies and other strategic assets over the long term.

Our objective is to build an integrated platform at the intersection of capital, companies, talent, technology, and execution.

Capital opens the door. Execution creates the value.

The Opportunity

Meridian Capital Partners is seeking a Head of Operations to join the firm during its early stages and help build the operational infrastructure required to scale MCP.

• Project management
• Consulting
• Venture capital or private equity operations
• Portfolio operations
• Finance and administration
• Technology operations
• Entrepreneurship
• Chief of Staff or founder's office roles

What We're Looking For

The ideal Head of Operations is

• Has 10-20 Years of Experience in Management
• Extremely organized and execution-oriented.
• Comfortable building systems from zero.

• Capable of turning broad objectives into actionable plans.

Compensation & Equity

This is an early-stage, equity-based opportunity.

MCP is currently in its formation and early commercialization stage. As a result, the Head of Operations position does not initially include a traditional guaranteed cash salary.

The selected individual will receive an equity-based compensation package intended to align their long-term interests with the growth and value creation of Meridian Capital Partners.

The final compensation structure may consider

• Scope of responsibilities
• Experience
• Expected time commitment
• Equity percentage
• Vesting schedule
• Performance milestones
• Future cash compensation as MCP reaches defined revenue or funding milestones

All compensation and equity arrangements will be subject to definitive agreements and applicable legal, tax, and securities requirements.

Why Join MCP?

Joining Meridian Capital Partners at this stage means helping build the infrastructure behind the company rather than inheriting systems created by someone else.

The Head of Operations will have the opportunity to help create the processes, systems, operating standards, and organizational culture that could remain with MCP for years.

As the organization expands, this role also has the potential to grow significantly in scope and leadership responsibility.

We are looking for someone who wants to build the machine behind the vision.

Long-Term Vision

Meridian Capital Partners intends to develop into an integrated platform capable of building, scaling, investing in, incubating, and acquiring companies while compounding capital over the long term.

The Head of Operations will play a central role in creating the infrastructure required to make that vision scalable.

MCP needs more than ideas. It needs an operating system capable of turning those ideas into results.
