VP, Private Sector
East or West Coasts, Chicago USA
Consulting
Full-Time Regular
VP, Private Sector
Vice President – Private Sector Transportation Consulting
(Title flexible based on experience)
Location: Any U.S. office or remote
About the Opportunity
Our client is a mid-sized global transportation advisory firm strengthening its presence in the private market. They already work with investors, developers, mobility innovators, and P3 stakeholders, and are looking to expand these relationships.
They are seeking a commercially minded leader, someone who enjoys building relationships, spotting opportunity early, and helping private clients navigate transportation and infrastructure questions including topics such as risk, forecasted use, financial modeling and deal structure.
This is a strong role for someone who has private-sector experience and is ready to step into a larger platform with support from an established team.
What You’ll Do
- Build and strengthen relationships with developers, mobility innovators, P3 stakeholders, and investors.
- Support early-stage work: concept development, planning, solicitation advisory (core areas today)
- Help shape a clear market narrative around where the firm adds value to private clients
- Connect internal technical teams with private-sector opportunities
- Contribute to a more consistent, relationship-led business development approach
This role has room for growth and influence, but it is not expected to single-handedly build the entire private-sector practice.
Who Will Thrive
- Those with experience in transportation, mobility, infrastructure, development, P3, or adjacent private-sector roles
- Someone comfortable engaging executives and shaping opportunities in early stages
- Professionals able to translate technical ideas into commercially relevant conversations
- Those who enjoy relationship-building and sees it as a long-term investment
- Someone who is ready for a role with visibility, which will include accountability and invariably some travel
This role welcomes candidates who are emerging commercial leaders - not only established industry rainmakers.
Why This Role Matters
The firm is committed to expanding its private-sector presence and needs a leader who can help turn existing momentum into a clearer, more intentional practice. You’ll play a meaningful part in that evolution, supported by strong technical teams and senior leadership.
