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
- 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.
