About the Role

As a Principal at Eagle, you'll report to Sohum (President) and work with the Founders across building strategic partnerships with great engineering firms, helping those firms grow, and supporting Eagle's operations. You'll be an extension of the Founders, and in some places a replacement.

We want you to own workstreams, important conversations, and meaningful decisions, to have a perspective, and to mobilize people to get things done.

In this role, you'll

  • Earn trust onsite: Be onsite at our partner firms and earn the trust of firm leaders and engineers who've never worked with a tech company.
  • Run the partnership cadence: Work with partner firm leadership on the 90-day plan, comp plan rollout, and key hires.
  • Own relationships with founder-owners: Meet founder-owners of engineering firms and own the relationship from first call to signed partnership. Keep it high touch, and solve for their objectives.
  • Help run Eagle: Support Eagle's operations, including recruiting, logistics, and admin.
  • Build the partnership: Help transform our partner engineering firms, against an industry backdrop that’s barely been touched by AI.
  • Grow as we grow: As we add partner firms, paths include leading new partnerships, operating roles at our partner firms, and senior roles at Eagle. We'll talk openly about where you want to go.
  • And there will be lots more, especially as you ideate through and materialize new opportunities within Eagle and our partner firms.

YOU COULD BE A GREAT FIT IF YOU: Earn trust

  • Through excellent communication, nuance, and persuasion
  • By bringing people along with clarity, empathy, and intention

Show up

  • Get on a plane, then implement the ideas you come up with
  • Unblock the work by meeting people, understanding them, and getting folks aligned

Stay curious

  • Ask hard questions and listen
  • Learn fast and lean into new domains
  • Build systems and iterate

Additional information

Professionally, you have 5+ years of experience in management consulting, IB / PE / VC, or start-up operations. Bonus points if you have started something of your own.

Process

Our process takes about 2 weeks: a conversation with Sohum or Mayank, a second founder conversation, an onsite where you walk us through a short case followed by dinner with the team, and references.
