Job description
About Mc. Chrystal Group: Mc. Chrystal Group is a leadership and management consulting firm that partners with executive teams to solve their most complex performance and coordination challenges. Founded in 2011 by General (Ret.) Stanley Mc. Chrystal, we help organizations operate with the speed, alignment, and cohesion required to succeed in dynamic environments.
Our work is rooted in the Team of Teams® framework - a leadership system developed from General Mc. Chrystal’s transformation of the Joint Special Operations Command. We believe that enduring performance depends not just on strategy, but on how effectively leaders, teams, and systems work together under pressure. Mc. Chrystal Group consultants work on small, high-impact teams tackling challenges that matter.
You’ll work shoulder to shoulder with senior executives, world-class advisors, and teammates who take pride in the quality, integrity, and purpose of their work. The pace is demanding, the problems are complex, and the impact is tangible. People join Mc. Chrystal Group because they want to grow as leaders and do work that makes a difference.
Role Overview: The Principal is a leader within Mc. Chrystal Group’s Implementation Practice, the team that partners with senior executives to lead long-term, transformational engagements that blend leadership advisory, process improvement, and the design of systems that enable coordinated performance at scale. Implementation teams help clients translate strategy into action by building the capabilities that sustain results long after our engagement ends.
As a Principal, you will lead entire client engagements, shaping strategy, defining success, and guiding cross-functional teams from diagnosis through sustained execution. You’ll serve as a trusted advisor to senior leaders while ensuring delivery excellence across multiple workstreams. Principals operate with significant autonomy and influence - owning relationships, shaping the firm’s approach, and driving both client and commercial outcomes.
Our work blends consulting discipline with operational execution. In one engagement, you might help a Fortune 100 company design and drive a global leadership and operating model transformation; in another, you might embed with a state government to rewire how critical services are delivered across a complex network of stakeholders.
Every project is high-impact, hands-on, and built around measurable results.
