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.
