Consulting Point
Illinois, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 7/31/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 9/15/2026

A leading global strategy management consulting firm is seeking an entrepreneurial Partner to join its rapidly expanding Private Equity & M&A practice.


This is a unique opportunity to help shape one of the fastest-growing platforms in the market, advising leading private equity firms and their portfolio companies on complex M&A transactions and large-scale value creation programmes. We're looking for a commercially driven consulting leader who is recognised for winning work, building trusted client relationships and creating long-term growth.


The role

You'll work directly with private equity sponsors and portfolio company leadership teams across the full deal lifecycle, including:

  • Acquisition strategy
  • M&A strategy
  • Post-merger integration
  • Separation and carve-outs
  • Value creation and performance improvement

Beyond delivering engagements, you'll play a key role in growing the practice by originating new business, developing senior client relationships and helping shape the future direction of the team.


What we're looking for

  • Current Partner, or an exceptional Partner-ready Principal or Director, from a leading strategy or management consulting firm.
  • A proven track record of personally originating consulting revenue.
  • Established relationships with private equity sponsors and the ability to develop business independently.
  • Significant experience leading M&A, integration, separation and value creation programmes.
  • An entrepreneurial mindset with experience building practices, propositions or new client relationships.
  • A collaborative leadership style with a passion for developing teams and growing a business.


This opportunity is ideal for someone who wants to

  • Build rather than inherit a business.
  • Work directly with leading private equity investors on high-impact strategic engagements.
  • Join a high-growth platform where commercial success and entrepreneurship are highly valued.
  • Be part of a collaborative culture that rewards long-term relationship building and sustainable growth.


If you're an M&A consulting leader with strong private equity relationships and a track record of winning and delivering transformational work, we'd welcome a confidential discussion
