Alysian is an advisory boutique working exclusively with private equity firms and their portfolio companies across Europe and the US. We do technology work with a value-creation lens: due diligence, carve-outs, transformation delivery, and IT cost programs packaged as standardized solutions, delivered by small, senior teams of experienced practitioners. We are scaling, which means the playbooks are real but still being written, and the people who join now help write them.
Client work is the centre of Alysian, and as a VP you lead it: shaping, managing, and delivering workstreams; owning scope, budget, and team. You build and hold the relationship with the portfolio company, typically the CIO, CFO, or CEO, and your own line to the fund's Operating Partner. At a 100-person firm there is no queue of people above you waiting for their turn.
What that means in practice:
- You will lead the Alysian engagements end to end: DDs, IT carve-outs, complex digital transformation programs, cost-out; from shaping the setup to diagnostics and value creation.
- Your deliverables move decisions: a DD report based on which investment decisions are being made, a Day 1 separation plan, a transformation business case, a cost-out program with a number attached.
- You coach the people working with you - developing Advisors and Associates is part of the job, not an extra.
- When a problem needs deep specialist expertise, we bring it into your team on demand - you lead the problem, without having to personally cover every technology.
- You shape scopes, proposals, and pricing together with a Principal, and you're expected to spot follow-on work inside the account.
- The pace is PE pace. Clients expect answers in weeks, not quarters.
Who thrives here:
- Our best VPs combine two backgrounds that rarely come together in one CV: Strategy consulting craft and real delivery experience.
- You structure ambiguous problems, build a storyline, get insight out of interviews and data fast, and land it at executive level.
- You have been inside actual technology implementations - not only advised on them.
- The delivery half is the one we can't teach. Someone who has run delivery can lead a system selection; the reverse doesn't hold.
Where this role sits:
- VP is a senior delivery role for people currently operating at engagement-manager or senior-manager level in consulting.
- At Alysian, VP sits below Principal. Typical total experience: 7-12 years.
Where you've been - the environments that build this profile:
- Top-tier strategy consulting or advisory.
- An M&A environment: due diligences for PE funds or industrial buyers, or operating inside PE-backed companies.
- Industry exposure across the sectors we serve - we're largely sector-agnostic.
What you've done - you should recognise most of this list from your own work:
- Carve-outs or post-merger integration - separation or integration delivery.
- Technology transformation programs - ERP/CRM (SAP, Salesforce, Dynamics), infrastructure/cloud, or data & AI.
- Operating model design.
- Technology due diligence (ideally buy-side, with a value-creation angle).
- Enterprise architecture - you can sketch one and reason about it.
- IT cost optimization - spend diagnostics, benchmarking, cost-out delivery.
- Vendor management: selections, negotiations, holding delivery partners to account.
- PE clients, PE-backed companies, or deal-driven timelines.
What we offer:
- Remote-first, genuinely. Work from anywhere in Poland; no office attendance theatre, and travel measured in days per quarter, not days per week.
- Small teams, real ownership. You own your piece of the work, deal directly with the client, and see your name on the outcome.
- PE exposure from day one. Our clients are PE funds and their portfolio companies.
- A firm scaling, with ambition. Playbooks, solutions, and ways of working are taking shape - VPs joining now shape them.
- Progression on outcomes. Small firm, visible work, no tenure clocks.
