About The Role

Flex is hiring a General Manager to build and run its construction business. You own the sector end to end: the strategy for winning it, the relationships and partnerships that open it, the product priorities it needs, and the P&L it produces. You build on Flex’s platform, balance sheet and teams, and you are responsible for making Flex the primary financial institution for construction.
The role is modeled on sector coverage at an investment bank. You decide which relationships matter, which partnerships can move hundreds of owners onto Flex at once, and what the product must deliver to win them. Flex’s product, credit, risk and member experience teams execute and service alongside you. Construction is one of the largest and most capital-intensive owner-operated sectors in Flex’s range. Contractors, specialty trades, developers and building-products distributors carry long receivable cycles, bonding requirements and heavy equipment and payroll spend, and they decide where to bank on the advice of a small circle of sureties, lenders, associations and software vendors. The General Manager owns that circle.
You are accountable for one number: owners in construction banking with Flex and the revenue they generate. Within 90 days you have identified the 200 people who move construction and have a coverage plan for each. Bring owners and firms to Flex directly, through dinners, site visits, conferences, portfolio days and referrals. You represent Flex in your sector and you are expected to be present in it.
Structure the partnerships that move the sector.

A surety or construction-lender referral program. A construction ERP integration. A sponsor rolling Flex across a portfolio of contractors. You tell product leadership what owners require before they will move their primary banking relationship, in what order, and why.
You begin with Flex’s account executives, account managers and member experience team supporting you. When the pipeline exceeds what one person can cover, you hire and lead your own sector team.
Research, relationship tracking, outreach and modeling run on tools you build or adopt, so your time goes to relationships.
7 to 12 years in investment banking, private credit, private equity, venture, or a senior commercial seat inside construction. An active network in construction. Fluent in how contractors are paid and where their capital gets tied up: margins, working capital, pay applications, retainage, bonding, and who lends against each.
Comfortable structuring partnerships, negotiating referral economics, and working through a term sheet without support.
Banker-level Excel and a working understanding of the unit economics of deposits, cards and credit.
Experience in fintech, banking or lending, or selling a financial product to business owners.
A standing in construction: a podcast, a newsletter, a conference stage, or a board seat at a trade body.
Investing, advisory or operating experience in a company in construction.
How To Prepare

As part of the application, please be prepared to submit a one-pager along with your CV on how you would bring construction to Flex. Who they are, how many of them fall in Flex’s range, how they make money and where their capital gets tied up.
What they need from a bank.

The first three partnerships.

The programs that would put hundreds of owners on Flex at once, and why each counterparty would say yes.
A light P&L for the sector: what Flex would need to put in over the first two years (people, product, partnership economics, marketing) and how that investment comes back, in the form of owners banking with Flex and the revenue they produce. Bring the map, the partnerships and the economics, and be ready to defend each one.
\Compensation follows the coverage-banking model: a base that allows you to build the book without pressure to pursue the wrong relationships, and variable tied to what your sector produces for Flex, with no ceiling.

Paid on the revenue your sector generates, including owners sourced through your partnerships.
