This is an opportunity to become the **right hand to the President** and help architect the next chapter of growth for a nationally recognized consulting platform.
The Strategic Operations Director will own the firm’s operational infrastructure and execution engine—translating strategy into disciplined execution and helping transform an already successful partner-led business into a more scalable, data-driven, and institutionalized platform.
If you are energized by building systems, driving change, and creating enterprise value, this role offers a unique opportunity to leave a lasting impact on a high-growth consulting organization.

* Lead organizational change initiatives in a highly entrepreneurial, partner-led environment.
* Help shape how the company grows, operates, and creates long-term enterprise value.

What We’re Looking For

* 10+ years of professional experience with at least 8 years in a senior leadership role.
* Experience within consulting, advisory, or other expert-driven professional services businesses.
* Demonstrated success building operational infrastructure in scaling organizations.
* Proven ability to lead enterprise-wide initiatives and operational transformation programs.
* Experience partnering directly with executive leadership teams.
* Strong financial and commercial acumen with an understanding of consulting economics and business performance drivers.
