Partner - Aerospace​/Transportation Operator

At Porsche Consulting, strategy doesn't end on a slide — it begins there. We are the management consultancy of the Porsche brand, and we bring the same engineering precision, design ambition, and performance mindset to our clients that defines the cars in Zuffenhausen. Our promise is simple:
Strategic Vision. Smart Implementation.

We are a global firm with over 900 consultants across Europe, the Americas, and Asia — yet in North America, we are still in build-mode. That means real whitespace, real ownership, and the rare chance to shape a practice rather than inherit one. Our consultants don't hand off implementation to someone else; we stay on the ground with our clients until the results are measurable, visible, and lasting.

What sets us apart is not only the Porsche brand — it's the freedom to move fast, the mandate to think boldly, and the culture to execute relentlessly. We hire people who are done waiting their turn and ready to build something that carries their signature.

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.

Our North American ADT practice already serves marquee clients in aerospace, cruise, and rail — but our ambition is significantly larger than our current footprint. We are looking for a Partner who sees that gap not as a challenge, but as the most exciting entrepreneurial opportunity in consulting today: to build the go-to advisory franchise for Aerospace, Rail, Maritime, and MRO operators in North America — with the full backing of our global ADT cluster and the Porsche brand behind you.

As Partner – Aerospace, Rail & Maritime Operators, you will own and scale one of the most strategic growth fields in our North American practice. This is not a role for maintaining an established book — it is a mandate to build. You will shape the market positioning, own commercial results, and create a signature franchise for Porsche Consulting in operator and MRO businesses across NAR — backed by our global ADT cluster and the Porsche brand, with entrepreneurial freedom.
