Deployment Lead Strategist

Deployment Lead Strategist, NYC

A well-backed early-stage firm tracking to $5M ARR is hiring its first Deployment Lead - the person who will own how they deliver to clients and build the team that does it.

They're already working with some of the most recognised names in private equity. The founders have been running engagements themselves. Now they're ready to hand that off.

What the role looks like:

• Client engagements owned end-to-end - scoping, delivery, go-live
• Working directly with portfolio company management and PE sponsors
• Translating business problems into technical direction
• Reporting directly to the founders

Who they're looking for:

MBB background, with time spent on the operating side of private equity. You know how to run a room with a partner and still get into the weeds when you need to. You're ready to build something, not inherit a playbook.

Someone who's been embedded in the messy reality of a PE-backed business - not advising from the outside, but inside the portco, managing competing priorities, navigating organisational complexity, and driving delivery under pressure.

Why it's worth a look:

Tracking to $5M ARR. A blue-chip client base. Founders with deep PE and operating backgrounds. And a problem - what happens to data infrastructure after a PE acquisition - that every firm in the market is sitting on.
