  • Analyze technical debt and modernization requirements
  • Evaluate AI and data platform maturity
  • Assess DevOps, SDLC maturity, and engineering productivity
  • Tie product roadmap to ARR growth, NRR expansion, pricing power, and customer acquisition efficiency
  • Assess technical enablers and constraints impacting margin structure and hosting costs
  • Evaluate engineering cost base and R&D investment requirements
  • Develop forward-looking capital investment views and EBITDA impact assessments
  • Support valuation narratives based on platform strength and scalability
  • Evaluate engineering organization structure and scalability
  • Assess product management maturity and governance
  • Analyze release cadence and roadmap execution risk

  • Lead management interviews (CTO, CPO, Engineering Leads)
  • Develop executive-ready reports with investment implications
  • Present findings to PE deal teams and portfolio leadership
  • Mentor Managers and Senior Consultants
  • Support proposal development and commercial structuring

You have the following technical skills and qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree required
  • 10+ years in product architecture leadership, product tech diligence, CTO advisory, or software platform strategy
  • Experience in PE-backed or high-growth SaaS environments
  • Deep understanding of SaaS business models, cloud-native architectures, data platforms, and DevOps
  • Experience tying technology findings to commercial and financial outcomes
  • Executive presence
  • Strong commercial acumen
  • Ability to translate architecture into valuation impact
  • Structured and hypothesis-driven thinker
  • Ability to operate in deal timelines
  • Ability to travel up to 50%

The base salary range for this position is between $239,160 and $309,412. Placement within the pay range is at Grant Thornton's discretion, and it is based on multiple factors, including but not limited to, job-related knowledge/skills, experience, business needs, progression within the role, geographic location, and internal equity.
