Full Job Description
The Opportunity

As the primary execution partner to the Head of the Strategic Partner Group, you will work directly on the priorities that shape how Hamilton Lane operates globally - organizational design, governance and decision rights, operating model, and the major cross-firm initiatives that define the firm's next phase of growth.

The work offers the pace, variety, and intellectual range of top-tier management consulting, with one meaningful advantage: you stay to see it through. Instead of handing off a recommendation at the close of a project, you build the plans, cadences, and follow-through that turn strategy into results you can point to - working shoulder to shoulder with the leaders making the decisions.

Expect a rotating portfolio of three to five concurrent initiatives, exposure across every business line, region, and function, and a front-row view of how a global private markets firm actually runs. Scope will shift as firm priorities shift. For the right person, that variability is the best part of the job: unusually broad access, a steep learning curve, and visible impact from the first initiative forward.

Responsibilities
  • Report to the Head of SPG and serve as their primary execution partner across a portfolio of approximately 3-5 concurrent, high-priority initiatives at any given time.
  • Structure ambiguous, cross-functional problems into clear workplans, milestones, owners, and decision points - often before full clarity exists on the end state.
  • Build and run the operating machinery behind each initiative: integrated project plans, meeting cadences, governance forums, trackers, and dashboards that keep work visible and on track.
  • Partner with stakeholders across business lines, regions, and functions to gather input, pressure-test recommendations, and drive alignment on org design, operating model, and process-improvement efforts.
  • Track commitments and action items with disciplined follow-up; surface blockers, competing priorities, and tradeoffs that require executive decision-making.
  • Support change-adoption work by documenting new processes and structures and confirming that affected teams are actually using them, not just that they were announced.
  • Move fluidly between initiatives as firm priorities shift, typically supporting a mix of work at any given time.
  • Prepare clear, concise updates and materials for senior leadership and executive sponsors.


Qualifications
  • Experience in program/project management, management consulting, organizational change management, or another cross-functional execution role.
  • Demonstrated ability to operate effectively with incomplete information and shifting scope.
  • Strong organizational and follow-through discipline; able to build and maintain project plans, trackers, and governance cadences with minimal oversight.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Experience with Six Sigma or Lean Six Sigma a plus.
  • Sound judgment on when to escalate versus resolve independently.
  • Bachelor's degree and several years of relevant experience in program/project management, consulting, or a similar cross-functional role.
