Quick overview
Job description
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.
