Consultant, Special Projects

Consultant, Special Projects

Position Overview

Lean Layer is the #1 Rated RevOps Agency on G2. Our Special Projects team works directly with private equity sponsors and portfolio company executives on their highest-stakes questions: what is really happening in the business, what the data says, and what the board should decide. Every engagement is built from scratch. One month it is a revenue data model; the next, a board narrative for a PE deal team or IPO-readiness documentation.

We don't hire for a lane. We hire people who learn fast, own the outcome and don't settle for good.

Where You Might Come From

Data builder: analytics engineer, data engineer or BI architect

Strategy consultant: strategy firm or PE value-creation team

Executive operator: led finance, operations or GTM in a PE-backed or pre-IPO company

Founder or builder: built a company, product or tool from zero

Wherever you start, you'll learn the rest here.

What You'll Do

Turn ambiguous questions from PE sponsors and C-level executives into clear answers

Get hands-on with the data and stand behind every number

Build board decks, models, dashboards and documentation executives act on

Learn new platforms, industries and domains mid-engagement

Present to executives, deal teams and boards, and turn their feedback around fast

What We Hire For

You learn fast: you've picked up a tool or domain from zero and delivered with it

You don't settle for good: you catch the error before the client does

You own the outcome: no task list needed, blocks flagged the same day

You're coachable: your next version shows the feedback

You stay steady: shifting priorities and senior audiences don't throw you
