As a Senior Associate in the Portfolio Performance Group (PPG), you will lead initiatives end-to-end and partner with our functional leaders and portfolio company management teams to drive operational and financial performance across our portfolio. You will typically run several efforts at once across multiple portfolio companies, working directly with portfolio executives and functional leaders - scoping the problem, setting the approach, and deciding what good looks like before driving to an answer. You will be expected to lead senior groups across our platform - shaping strategies, executing plans to achieve results, and influencing seasoned operators and executives toward defined outcomes.

Day to day, you will run the quantitative and qualitative analyses that surface value creation opportunities, turn findings into decisions and executive-ready materials, and carry those decisions through to execution alongside the stakeholders who deliver them. The work spans our functional areas - AI strategy and implementation, operational transformation, procurement, talent and organizational design, and our commitments to sustainability and safety - and gives you a strong vantage point on how infrastructure and private equity-owned businesses operate and grow over time. This role is a strong fit for someone wants to build a cross-functional operating expertise across sectors and geographies, while working alongside high-caliber operators and investors.

• 4-6 years of consulting experience, or comparable experience, with a track record of owning initiatives end-to-end.
• Independent leadership of execution and ownership of outcomes - you set the direction, decide what good looks like, and lead initiatives from initial question to executed result with limited senior guidance.
• The business acumen to understand and improve how a company performs financially and operationally - identifying the levers that matter, diagnosing the underlying problem, and knowing how to drive toward desired outcomes.
• Strong analytical and presentation skills, including financial modeling, valuation, and data analysis, with advanced proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint and the ability to build executive-ready materials.
• A structured approach to open-ended problems - able to scope the work, build the analysis, form a clear point of view, and share it with senior audiences.
• The ability to lead and influence without formal authority - building trust-based relationships with internal and portfolio company stakeholders, running executive conversations, and building alignment across them.
• High organizational ability and attention to detail, with the judgement to prioritize and manage multiple initiatives at once in a fast-paced environment.
• A track record of delivering in demanding environments, and a collaborative, team-first way of working - someone who wants to build operating expertise and grow their infrastructure and private equity value-creation skills firsthand.

Salary range for this position: $145,000-175,000/Year. Actual base salary may vary based upon, but not limited to, relevant experience, time in role, peer and market data, prior performance, business sector, and geographic location. You may also be eligible for an annual discretionary incentive compensation award. You can further read about the full spectrum of benefits we offer our people listed below.
