Have a lead on an Operating Partner role with a PE firm. While I’ve looked at VP Ops roles for portfolio companies before, even as a Principal now, this feels like a while different level...

Work with portco teams defining and executing value-creation plans. Neither fish nor fowl - the portcos view you as their investors’ gal, the investors worry you’ve gone native. You don’t have the resources of your firm yet you need to show results. Ultimate “work through influence” role. Always onsite. Can get lonely In some funds the teams are core and well established. In others, experimental or not valued so much. Know your poison.

And it scares me a bit that I could be getting in over my head. I’ve worked on a couple operations DDs before and post merger ops work for MNCs. Anyone have any perspective on this type of role before and transitioning from consulting to PE?

ATK OP, would love to connect and learn about your journey. Very interested in this field. Please PM if open to connecting.

Our operating partners are serious. Involved as high level thought partners. On multiple boards. Profile is typically past CEOs/ are often tapped to be CEOs for portfolio companies within the fund if it’s a good fit. Great role IMO
