Job description
This is not a traditional principal role.
We're looking for someone who can design and drive how work gets done-not just manage it.
As a Principal, you are responsible for turning complex, ambiguous client challenges into structured systems, workflows, and operating models. You don't just execute within a process-you define it.
You lead workstreams end-to-end, guiding teams to uncover how organizations actually operate, where breakdowns occur, and how to rebuild those systems in smarter, more effective ways.
This role is for someone who combines strong execution with emerging strategic thinking-someone who can move from problem to structure to action with confidence.
What You'll DoDesign and Lead WorkstreamsOwn end-to-end delivery of workstreams across engagements
Translate ambiguous client needs into clear plans, workflows, and outputs
Ensure work is structured, sequenced, and executed effectively
Lead discovery efforts to understand how teams operate, make decisions, and move work forward

Identify where processes should be improved vs. fundamentally redefined
Recommend and design better ways of working grounded in real constraints
Introduce and apply new tools, including AI-enabled approaches, to enhance workflows
Treat experimentation as a disciplined part of delivery
Produce clear, structured deliverables that translate complexity into direction
Ensure outputs are practical, implementable, and aligned to client needs
Maintain high standards for quality, clarity, and usability
Mentor Senior Analysts and Analysts, helping them build systems thinking and problem structuring skills
Provide direction, feedback, and support across project teams
Contribute to a culture of curiosity, accountability, and continuous improvement
5-8 years of experience in consulting, marketing, analytics, or a related field
Strong systems thinker who can connect workflows, decisions, and outcomes
Proven ability to turn ambiguity into structured plans and deliverables
Skilled at uncovering how work actually happens through effective questioning and synthesis
Comfortable challenging existing processes and proposing better alternatives
Actively exploring and applying AI and emerging tools to improve how work gets done
Treats experimentation as a core part of the job
Takes ownership of outcomes and drives work forward independently
Strong collaborator who can work across functions and push toward meaningful change
Consistently delivers high-quality workstreams end-to-end
Structures complex problems into clear, actionable approaches
Identifies and drives meaningful improvements to workflows and systems
Applies new tools and methods to increase efficiency and effectiveness
Develops and elevates team members through mentorship and guidance
You're not just managing work. You're defining how it gets done-and making it better.
