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

• Revenue or business operator: RevOps, sales ops, BizOps or business analyst

• 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

• Leave clients self-sufficient

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 know what matters: you find the part of the problem that answers the question

• You're coachable: your next version shows the feedback

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

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years in consulting, data and analytics, revenue or business operations, finance, PE portfolio operations, or building a company

• Real depth in one of: data and BI; GTM operations; strategy and executive storytelling; finance and governance; building from zero

• Ownership of a deliverable end to end, as the person who held the pen

• Comfort presenting to, and pushing back on, senior executives

• Attention to detail; a typo in the application is a filter, not a footnote

Preferred Experience

• PE-backed companies, board reporting or deal cycles

• SQL, dbt, Databricks or Snowflake; Power BI, Looker or Tableau

• Salesforce or HubSpot data

• Daily use of AI tools to build, analyze and write

The pace is fast, scope changes weekly and we measure outcomes, not hours. If you want a predictable week, this isn't the role.
