The role

We are seeking a Senior Strategy Consulting Professional to lead growth strategy, transformation and technology business-building engagements. This is a senior leadership role for a strategist and experienced operator who blends an investor mindset with a strong bias for action - someone able to drive impact well beyond the slide deck through both organic and inorganic growth, enabled by rapid cadence and disciplined 100-day value creation plans.

The ideal candidate brings 12+ years of industry experience - including full P&L ownership and management of large teams - combined with 7+ years of top-tier consulting and investing experience in buying, building or transforming technology businesses. They will consistently over-deliver on M&A and value-creation plans and codify repeatable playbooks for both growth and efficiency.

What you'll do

Strategy, growth & transformation

  • Lead growth strategy and transformation engagements for clients and portfolio companies, spanning buy-&-build plays, organic acceleration and large-scale efficiency programs.

  • Design and drive digital and AI transformations that deliver material OPEX reduction and ARR acceleration across verticals such as AgriTech, HealthTech, Life Sciences and Industrials.

  • Establish rapid execution cadence through 100-day value-creation plans, combining strategy, M&A, commercial excellence and hands-on implementation.

Tech business building & value creation

  • Build and scale technology businesses end-to-end - including SaaS / MLaaS product development, D2C platforms and digital ecosystems - from concept through carve-out, divestment or exit.

  • Play investor, orchestrator or shadow CCO / COO roles for tech ventures, leading funding / financing, strategy, M&A, GTM, product development and operations.

  • Deliver commercial and technology due diligence (CDD) for private equity funds and lead M&A execution as part of integrated value-creation plans.

Commercial, P&L & people leadership

  • Own P&L and commercial outcomes, with a proven ability to deliver revenue growth, margin improvement and cost reduction at scale.

  • Build, reorganize and lead large teams across multiple countries and functions, instilling a high-performance, results-oriented culture.

  • Serve as a board member or senior advisor, shaping strategy and governance for high-growth businesses.

What you bring

Experience:

  • 12+ years of industry experience, including full P&L responsibility and management of large teams.

  • 7+ years of top-tier consulting and/or investing experience buying, building or transforming technology businesses (e.g., leadership of a firm's tech business-building practice).

  • Demonstrated value creation at scale - e.g., growing ARR from tens to hundreds of millions and delivering multi-billion value creation through carve-outs, M&A and exits.

  • Cross-industry operating background spanning FMCG, consumer, pharma / life sciences and industrials (e.g., senior commercial and marketing leadership roles).

Functional expertise:

  • Growth strategy, M&A and integration, commercial excellence, GTM design and revenue management.

  • Technology business building - SaaS / MLaaS, D2C platforms and digital ecosystems.

  • Digital and AI-enabled transformation delivering efficiency and top-line impact.

  • International leadership across European and broader markets.

Education & qualifications:

  • MBA from a leading institution (e.g., London Business School) or equivalent advanced qualification.

  • Teaching / thought-leadership experience (e.g., university lecturing in digital sales strategy) is valued.

Leadership competencies:

  • Investor mindset paired with a strong bias for action and "beyond-paper" delivery.

  • Ability to influence executives, boards and investors, and to orchestrate complex, cross-functional value-creation programs.

  • Entrepreneurial, resilient and comfortable operating amid ambiguity and rapid change.

  • Commitment to people development and, ideally, to community / social impact initiatives.

What we offer

  • A senior leadership role at the intersection of strategy consulting, investing and operating.

  • The mandate to build and scale technology businesses and shape value-creation playbooks.
