About the role

BAO Consulting Group is seeking an Executive Vice President of Growth — a transformational commercial leader who will own the firm's revenue engine, build and lead the business development function, and serve as a strategic partner to the President and founding leadership team. This is a named executive role for a professional who has built revenue at scale inside a professional services firm and is ready to do it again inside one of the most differentiated boutique advisory platforms in the country.

What you'll do

• Own BAO's total revenue growth strategy: set targets, build the plan, and execute across all markets and service lines
• Build, lead, and develop BAO's Business Development team — recruiting, structuring, and scaling the function from the ground up
• Personally drive the firm's most strategic relationships: top PE sponsors, anchor clients, and high-value referral sources
• Partner with the President and Co-Founders to define BAO's market positioning, pricing strategy, and competitive differentiation
• Lead all go-to-market activity: marketing strategy, brand presence, thought leadership, events, and digital footprint
• Oversee the full sales process: pipeline management, proposal quality, win/loss discipline, and deal economics
• Represent BAO at the board and executive level — internally and externally
• Develop and own strategic alliances with PE firms, investment banks, law firms, lenders, and other key referral ecosystems
• Provide market intelligence to inform service line investments, geographic expansion, and talent strategy
• Serve as a member of BAO's senior leadership team; contribute to firm-wide operational and strategic decisions

Qualifications

• 15+ years of progressive experience in professional services, with significant tenure in a senior commercial or growth leadership role
• Demonstrated track record of building and scaling revenue at a consulting, advisory, or financial services firm — with personal accountability for $5M+ in annual revenue
• Proven people leader with experience building and managing a BD or growth team
• Deep relationships across the PE sponsor, CFO, and middle-market finance ecosystem — particularly in Texas
• Strategic thinker with the operational discipline to execute; comfortable being both architect and builder
• Executive presence and credibility to represent BAO at the highest levels of the market
• CPA, MBA, or equivalent professional credential preferred but not required

Preferred qualifications

• Former Managing Director, Partner, or C-suite commercial leader at a boutique or mid-size advisory firm
• Existing BAO-adjacent network: PE sponsors, CFO communities, deal advisory ecosystems in DFW and Houston
