Job description

A leading global strategy management consulting firm is seeking an entrepreneurial Partner to join its rapidly expanding Private Equity & M&A practice.

This is a unique opportunity to help shape one of the fastest-growing platforms in the market, advising leading private equity firms and their portfolio companies on complex M&A transactions and large-scale value creation programmes. We're looking for a commercially driven consulting leader who is recognised for winning work, building trusted client relationships and creating long-term growth.

The role

You’ll work directly with private equity sponsors and portfolio company leadership teams across the full deal lifecycle, including:

• Separation and carve-outs
• Value creation and performance improvement

Beyond delivering engagements, you’ll play a key role in growing the practice by originating new business, developing senior client relationships and helping shape the future direction of the team.

What we’re looking for

• Current Partner, or an exceptional Partner-ready Principal or Director, from a leading strategy or management consulting firm.
• A proven track record of personally originating consulting revenue.
• Established relationships with private equity sponsors and the ability to develop business independently.
• Significant experience leading M&A, integration, separation and value creation programmes.
• An entrepreneurial mindset with experience building practices, propositions or new client relationships.
• A collaborative leadership style with a passion for developing teams and growing a business.

This opportunity is ideal for someone who wants to

• Build rather than inherit a business.
• Work directly with leading private equity investors on high-impact strategic engagements.
• Join a high-growth platform where commercial success and entrepreneurship are highly valued.
• Be part of a collaborative culture that rewards long-term relationship building and sustainable growth.

If you’re an M&A consulting leader with strong private equity relationships and a track record of winning and delivering transformational work, we’d welcome a confidential discussion
