Work for McKinsey lol. Real talk, hard to get into ops for PE if your resume isn't top tier
Try and get into your Transactions practice at your firm. Many of the Big 4 do work with PE clients in that area. Once you're in you can build relationships with your clients. You can also move to another firm that consults with a lot of PE clients (Bain, LEK, I think Alix does a lot in the supply chain PE area). It's challenging to go that way but I've seen it done. If that door is shut you have the option to exit after the transaction experience to an MBA program that has good PE shop relationships. With transaction consulting experience at a major firm you'll likely be competitive at a number of top programs.
