Role Overview

The Portfolio Value Creation & Integration Director will serve as the primary architect of value creation across XTI Aerospace’s expanding portfolio of businesses, balancing strategic insight, transactional expertise, and operating leadership.

The role spans the full M&A lifecycle from pre-close diligence and synergy modeling to post-close integration and portfolio performance optimization, ensuring that every transaction translates into measurable enterprise value.

This individual will be accountable for identifying, prioritizing, and leading cross functional initiatives that unlock portfolio value, enhance operational efficiency, accelerate growth, and ensure the effective integration of newly acquired businesses. The ideal candidate brings a rare combination of management consulting adaptability, full transaction cycle experience, and operating leadership. They are adept at navigating ambiguity, rapidly discerning the key levers that drive value, and mobilizing diverse teams to deliver aligned, measurable, and sustained outcomes across the organization.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and institutionalize playbooks for growth and transformation, enabling repeatable success across diverse subsidiaries and business models.
  • Establish frameworks and performance metrics to track and report on value creation progress across the portfolio.

Transaction & Integration Leadership

  • Lead and support the full deal lifecycle, including :
  • Pre-close diligence – assess operational fit, quantify value creation levers, and identify risks.
  • Synergy modeling – develop synergy cases and financial impact models to inform valuation and investment theses.
  • Post close integration – drive execution through structured plans and governance.
  • Build, maintain, and continuously evolve the Integration Playbook, ensuring integration execution across all functions from finance and HR to operations and technology.
  • Anticipate integration challenges early, establish cross functional accountability, and drive rapid, low friction transition from transaction to value realization.
  • Develop and implement standardized 100 day plans to accelerate synergy realization, integration progress, and reporting discipline.
  • Leadership & Influence

  • Build trusted relationships with senior leadership across portfolio companies and corporate functions.
  • Operate effectively in a dynamic, high growth environment where priorities evolve rapidly.
  • Exhibit a high level of intellectual curiosity, humility, and a roll up your sleeves approach to problem solving.
  • Coach and develop project teams, ensuring clarity of purpose and disciplined follow through.
  • Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in high impact operating roles leading growth, acquisition integration, and / or transformation / business model evolution.
  • Proven experience leading teams and value creation initiatives in complex, multi-entity environments.
  • Demonstrated ability to drive operational improvements and execute growth-oriented strategies within portfolio or growth stage / lower mid-market business settings.
  • Strong analytical, communication and strategic problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to operate in ambiguity, develop clarity, and build structure where non exists (“sculpting the fog”).
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence at all levels.
  • Bachelor's degree in business, engineering, or related field, MBA preferred.
  • Ideal Candidate Profile

  • A former management consultant who has transitioned into a private equity role, or a former operating profession who has transitioned to an M&A / private equity role.
  • Brings transaction experience and understands integration dynamics but is more passionate about building value post-close.
  • Thrives in unstructured, high accountability environments and takes initiative to shape strategy and outcomes.
  • Balance strategic insight and operational grit, and someone as comfortable in the boardroom as they are in the field.
  • Communication, empathy, collaboration, roll-up sleeves, project leadership, driver
  • At XTI Aerospace, we are driven by innovation and the desire to reshape the future of air mobility. If you are passionate about cutting-edge aerospace technology and eager to make an impact on projects like the TriFan 600, we invite you to join our dynamic team.
