Partner & Chief Operating Officer

The CEO buys clubs. You turn them into one company.

Backline Alliance buys regional youth soccer clubs, keeps their name and identity, and runs the business behind them. Execution risk is the biggest risk in a buy-and-build, and there is no operating engine here yet. No playbook, no team, no infrastructure. That is the job, not a warning about it.

Compensation: $200-250K base + bonus + material participation in carry. Reports to: Chief Executive Officer. Location: Los Angeles.

What you own: the technology infrastructure that connects acquired clubs into one platform. The integration playbook, which does not exist yet. People and process across every acquisition. Developers and administrative staff, day to day. Trust with club owners before and after close.

What we need: you have stood up operations or shared services in a multi-entity, acquisitive business. You find the work and ship it. You push 90% to 100% instead of circling back later. You see mess and build structure so it does not recur. You push back on the CEO when he's wrong. An echo is useless. A counterweight is a partner.

Where this leads: COO now. President in two to three years. CEO of the operating company at $15M+ portfolio EBITDA. Attributes over experience. If you don't match every line, apply anyway.
