Partner - Aerospace / Transportation Operator

Tasks

Aerospace, Rail & Maritime — Where the Next Decade Will Be Won

The way people and goods move is being reinvented. Airlines are rebuilding their operating models after a decade of disruption. Cruise lines are scaling record fleets while redefining the guest experience. Rail operators are being asked to deliver European-grade reliability on North American infrastructure. And across all three, MRO providers are becoming the strategic bottleneck — and the strategic opportunity — of the entire ecosystem.

At Porsche Consulting, we look at these industries the way our engineers look at a powertrain: as a system. We advise operators, OEMs, MRO providers, and infrastructure players on the challenges that actually move the P&L — fleet productivity, turnaround performance, crew and maintenance operations, digital MRO, sustainability, and the operating models that make transformation stick.

Qualifications

• Experience at a top-tier strategy consulting firm, currently at Associate Partner / Principal level or above, ready to take the next entrepreneurial step
• Passion for operator businesses: airlines, cruise lines, rail, MRO — hands-on curiosity, not just deck-level exposure
• Demonstrated ability to originate business independently — not just deliver assigned engagements
• Proven success in a similar leadership role at a top-tier management consulting firm
• Hands-on experience in Strategy, R&D, Operations Management, preferably in the Transportation sector
• Entrepreneurial mindset: comfort with whitespace, ambiguity, and building from a strong but non-dominant market position
• Minimum 8 years of total professional experience in both consultancy and transportation corporations
• Impact orientation with focus on comprehensive implementation
• Second language fluency in Spanish a plus
• Willingness to travel across North America to engage clients and teams
• Strong desire to mentor and assist in the professional development of colleagues
