Principal – Private Equity Practice | Boutique Strategy Consultancy | US (Houston, DC, New York, Chicago)

Consulting Point is delighted to be partnering with a high-growth boutique strategy consultancy in the US, supporting the expansion of their Private Equity Practice.

This is a unique opportunity for experienced strategy consultants to join a firm that combines the calibre of global strategy houses with the culture and autonomy of a true boutique. The firm has built a reputation for excellence in commercial due diligence and growth strategy, with a client base that includes leading private equity firms and ambitious portfolio companies.

Why Join?

Top-Tier Projects without Big-Firm Bureaucracy: Work with demanding clients across commercial due diligence, value creation, and growth strategy engagements — without the sales pressure or politics of a larger firm.

Rapid Progression: Flatter hierarchy, open access to senior partners, and opportunities to shape the direction of the practice.

Quality Over Sales: Delivery is the priority. Principals are not expected to bring immediate sales — instead, you’re valued for your leadership and insight.

Intellectually Engaged Culture: You’ll join a team that values humility, critical thinking, and shared success.

What You’ll Do

Lead and deliver engagements across buy-side and sell-side due diligence, growth strategy, and value creation

Build trusted relationships with private equity clients and portfolio executives

Mentor and develop junior consultants while collaborating with senior leadership

Contribute to internal knowledge development and firm growth initiatives

What We’re Looking For

6–12 years’ experience in a strategy consultancy or a blend of consulting and PE/portfolio experience

Proven ability to lead and deliver PE-related projects from start to finish

Strong analytical mindset, commercial acumen, and structured problem-solving skills

Exposure to financial modelling, market and customer research, and insight synthesis

Academic excellence in disciplines such as Economics, Finance, Engineering or Data Science

Based in or open to relocating to Houston, Washington DC, New York, or Chicago

If you are currently at a top-tier consultancy and looking for a more entrepreneurial environment where your ideas are heard and your impact is tangible, we would welcome a confidential conversation.
