Executive in Residence

Council Capital is a healthcare-focused private equity firm based in Nashville, Tennessee, managing over $350 million in committed capital.

We invest in lower middle market healthcare companies where we see the potential to scale purpose and performance. Our investments span control and minority positions in businesses with enterprise values between $10 million and $100 million.

What sets us apart is the Council Model—a proven framework that surrounds founders and leadership teams with a powerful combination of support: our CEO Council of seasoned operators, our Strategic Healthcare Investors who bring real-world insight and access, and our internal Value Creation Team, focused on enabling growth through talent, systems, and strategy.

At Council Capital, we’re not just backing companies—we’re helping build enduring businesses that improve lives and shape the future of healthcare.

Council Capital is launching an EIR search and seeking a commercially minded builder to validate a thesis and lead an acquisition in tech-enabled healthcare services. We are open to a range of leadership profiles—including experienced board chairs, board members, or professionals seeking a CEO path. The precise nature of the EIR role will be tailored according to the successful candidate’s interests and profile.

In this search, we are prioritizing identifying the best available leader, who will then work with us to focus the opportunity. Priority sectors include payments/RCM, specialty EMR, tech-enabled services, and payer-services carve-outs.

What You’ll Do (first 6–12 months, pre-investment)

• Deal Origination & Diligence: Build a targeted pipeline; qualify, model, and prioritize opportunities; test investment theses with rapid market calls.

• Thesis to Investment Case: Deliver 1–2 investment memos, including market mapping, unit economics, GTM, organizational planning, and underwriting.

• Talent & Network Activation: Recruit early leaders; activate your network for sourcing and customer introductions.

• Decision Discipline: Advance or drop opportunities quickly; keep pipeline momentum even if a front-runner arises.

Post-Investment (months 6–24+)

• Operate & Scale: Step in as CEO (preferred), senior operator, board member, or board chair based on your leadership path and the needs of the target company.

• Team Build: Recruit 2–3 A-players within year one; establish an operating cadence and key metrics.

• Value Creation: Execute the plan, report to sponsors, and prepare for add-ons and scalable go-to-market strategies.

If you’re a proven leader who thrives in ambiguity and wants hands-on involvement from thesis validation to company building, we want to hear from you.

Council Capital and our portfolio companies are committed to building high-performing teams by hiring the best talent—period.

We believe in putting the right people in the right seats, regardless of background, and we’re always looking for individuals who bring fresh thinking, grit, and a drive to make a difference.

Thank you for considering a role with one of our companies. We’re excited to learn more about you.
