About the job

About McChrystal Group: 
McChrystal Group is a premier leadership and management consulting firm dedicated to collaborating with executive teams in resolving their most intricate performance and coordination challenges. Established in 2011 by General (Ret.) Stanley McChrystal, we empower organizations to thrive with the speed, alignment, and cohesion essential for success in fast-paced environments. 

Our approach is anchored in the Team of Teams® framework, a leadership methodology born from General McChrystal’s transformative work with the Joint Special Operations Command. We believe that sustainable performance is achieved not merely through strategy, but through the effective collaboration of leaders, teams, and systems, especially under pressure. 

At McChrystal Group, our consultants work in small, high-impact teams addressing significant challenges. You will collaborate closely with senior executives, esteemed advisors, and colleagues who are committed to the excellence, integrity, and purpose of their work. The environment is fast-paced, the challenges are intricate, and the outcomes are impactful. Professionals join McChrystal Group to enhance their leadership skills and engage in work that truly matters. 

Role Overview: 
As a Principal within McChrystal Group’s Implementation Practice, you will take the lead on long-term transformational initiatives that integrate leadership advisory, process enhancement, and the development of systems that facilitate coordinated performance at scale. Your role will involve helping clients convert their strategies into actionable results by cultivating the capabilities that maintain success long after our engagement concludes. 

In this position, you will oversee entire client engagements, shaping strategic direction, defining success metrics, and guiding cross-functional teams from diagnosis through to sustained execution. You will act as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, ensuring excellence in delivery across multiple workstreams. As a Principal, you will operate with significant autonomy and influence, managing relationships, shaping the firm's methodologies, and driving both client and commercial success. 

Our work seamlessly combines consulting rigor with operational execution. In one engagement, you may assist a Fortune 100 company in designing and implementing a global leadership and operational model transformation; in another, you might partner with a state government to innovate how vital services are delivered across a complex stakeholder network. Each project is designed for high impact and lasting change.

About McChrystal Group

McChrystal Group is more than just a consulting firm; we are a team of dedicated professionals committed to fostering leadership excellence and driving meaningful change. Our unique approach, based on the insights of General McChrystal, sets us apart in the consulting landscape, enabling organizations to navigate complexity and achieve sustainable results.
