Principal / Senior Manager – Commercial Due Diligence & Growth Strategy Boston

Our client is a high-growth strategy boutique that has carved out a significant reputation for delivering high-impact Commercial Due Diligence and growth strategy projects for mid-market private equity funds. Following a period of sustained growth, they are looking to appoint a Principal / Senior Manager to join their leadership team in Boston.

This is a pivotal hire for the firm. As the third most senior person in the organisation, you will work directly alongside the Founder and CEO, not only leading complex engagements but also playing a direct role in the continued building and scaling of the firm.

The Role This position is designed for a delivery-focused leader who enjoys the pace of the mid-market. You will be responsible for leading the execution of CDD and strategy workstreams, typically operating on rapid 2-to-4-week project cycles. While there is a clear expectation for business development and engagement scoping, the role remains heavily weighted toward delivery and the mentorship of a high-performing associate team.

Key Requirements

• A proven track record within a top-tier global strategy consulting firm
• Extensive experience in Commercial Due Diligence, having personally led and delivered a significant volume of assignments.
• Deep sector expertise within Business Services, Food & Beverages, Technology or Healthcare
• The ability to manage a 70:30 ratio between project execution and business development/scoping.
• A mentorship-led leadership style, with a focus on developing junior consulting talent.
• The Environment The firm operates a hybrid model, with the team coming together in their Boston office three days a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday). The culture is professional, low on ego, and focused on high-quality output for a loyal PE client base. For those at the Senior Manager or Principal level currently in a large-scale firm, this represents an opportunity to move into a more entrepreneurial environment where you have a genuine seat at the table and a clear path toward equity.
