The Role:
Mid-State Industrial Maintenance is building a scalable industrial services platform designed for long-term growth, operational discipline, and strategic expansion. We are seeking an Executive Vice President, Growth & Platform Strategy to serve as a senior enterprise leader responsible for shaping how the company grows, differentiates, and scales across markets, service lines, and acquisitions.
This is a CEO-caliber strategic role, not a traditional marketing position.

The successful candidate will influence commercial strategy, brand positioning, talent narrative, and acquisition integration while working alongside operational leadership in a field-driven environment.
This role is structured as a succession pathway toward enterprise growth leadership as the platform continues to scale.
About Mid-State:
Mid-State Industrial Maintenance delivers maintenance, turnaround, fabrication, and embedded workforce solutions across heavy industry. Backed by private equity and entering a new phase of platform expansion, the company is focused on disciplined growth, acquisition integration, and building a differentiated industrial services brand grounded in operational credibility and workforce culture.
What You Will Do: Partner with the CEO and executive leadership team to define Mid-State’s enterprise growth model. Establish market segmentation, vertical strategy, service-line packaging, and long-term differentiation that drives scalable expansion across organic growth and M&A.
Strategic Market Positioning Lead the development of a clear and credible market narrative that reflects Mid-State’s industrial expertise and growth ambitions. Ensure consistent messaging across executive communications, recruiting, commercial engagement, and brand architecture.
Commercial Enablement at the Enterprise Level Provide strategic frameworks that enable Commercial leadership to execute effectively. Define positioning, target account logic, pricing philosophy, and market priorities while maintaining strong partnership and clear boundaries with the sales organization.
Acquisition Growth Integration Work alongside Corporate Development and Operations to shape growth-focused integration strategies. Establish Day-1 messaging, go-to-market alignment, and platform adoption frameworks that accelerate value creation from acquisitions.
Build a disciplined approach to market penetration that prioritizes digital demand generation, targeted campaigns, and scalable lead development aligned with platform priorities.
Talent Narrative & Culture Alignment Help shape Mid-State’s employer brand and leadership narrative in partnership with HR, reinforcing workforce development, craft pride, and a culture grounded in operational excellence.
Technology as a Growth Lever Influence CRM, analytics, and digital platform priorities from a growth and commercial perspective, ensuring technology investments support real market differentiation and scalable execution.
Serve as a senior thought partner to the CEO and executive leadership team. Help align Commercial, Operations, HR, M&A, and Technology around a unified platform strategy and long-term growth roadmap.
Who You Are
An enterprise builder who understands how to scale industrial or field-driven businesses
Comfortable operating at both strategic altitude and operational depth
Able to influence commercial outcomes without needing to own a sales quota.
Experienced in private equity–backed or high-growth environments where structure must be built alongside growth.
Respected by operators and credible in blue-collar, field-oriented cultures.
A systems thinker who prioritizes clarity, alignment, and scalable frameworks over tactical marketing execution
Qualifications
10+ years of senior leadership experience within industrial services, engineering, construction, manufacturing, maintenance, or related sectors. Experience within a Marketing firm will be considered, with services experience.
Proven record in growth strategy, platform development, commercial leadership, or enterprise transformation
Experience supporting acquisition integration and building scalable operating models preferred.
Strong executive communication and organizational influence capabilities
Demonstrated ability to work directly with CEOs, Boards, or private equity partners.
What Success Looks Like
A clearly defined and adopted enterprise platform strategy.
Consistent and credible market positioning across the organization
Stronger commercial performance driven by strategic clarity.
Faster acquisition integration and alignment
A growth narrative that attracts both customers and talent
Measurable contribution to enterprise value creation
Leadership Trajectory This role is intentionally structured as a senior enterprise leadership position with a pathway toward Chief Growth Officer or Chief Commercial & Platform Officer as Mid-State continues to expand.
Culture Mid-State operates with a servant-leadership mindset rooted in operational credibility, safety, and respect for the craft. We value leaders who can think strategically while staying connected to the realities of the field and the people doing the work.
