The Principals Group is a curated global network of senior operators who have built their careers on what AI cannot replicate — deep domain expertise, trusted relationships, and the judgement to deliver in complexity. We are selecting a small number of founding Principals in 2026. It is a professional home for accomplished leaders who choose independence — a platform that gives you a recognised standard, a marketing and delivery engine, and a room of true peers, while your client relationships and the work you win remain entirely your own.
What you do:
- Lead senior advisory and value-creation mandates for clients in your domain
- Win and own your client relationships, backed by the TPG brand and pipeline engine
- Set the direction of your own practice — your market, your team, your terms
- Work directly with owners and C-level leaders to deliver outcomes that matter
What you bring:
- 10+ years of senior operating responsibility — real decisions, real consequences
- A track record of owning outcomes, not just advising on them
- Deep expertise in a domain — e.g. operations, finance
