Consultant, Product & Technology

We are looking for a Consultant to join Vista’s Value Creation Team (VCT) in the Product and Technology (P&T) Practice. Vista’s Product and Technology Value Creation Team serves as a trusted advisor to portfolio company leaders to achieve transformational success through Product, Technology, and Cybersecurity strategies and operations. This team works closely with our CTOs, CPOs, CISOs and other technology leaders to drive growth through product and engineering excellence. A significant focus is enabling portfolio companies to adopt modern product and engineering practices, including accelerating AI (LLM and agent-based) product offerings, improving engineering efficiency, and strengthening technology architecture and resiliency. You will contribute to both pre-investment P&T diligence (assessing market-leading software assets) and post-investment transformation (working directly with portfolio leaders to unlock enterprise value).

This role is based in San Francisco, CA, Austin, TX, or remote locations and is available for an immediate start. We support flexible ways of working, but believe the best mentorship and collaboration happens at least partly in person. The most successful candidates will have the ability to be in the office a few days most weeks.

Responsibilities

As a Consultant on the team, you will :

• Work closely with VCT colleagues, investment team members, and portfolio company executives to drive product and technology initiatives across our portfolio companies that lead to clear business outcomes and enterprise value
• Work with investment teams to develop investment theses to conduct Product and Technology due diligence, and identify core value creation opportunities for new prospective investments
• Work with VCT colleagues, investment team members, and portfolio company executives on value creation initiatives that span the different P&T functional areas of our companies (i.e., Engineering and Architecture, Product Management, AI, Cybersecurity)
• Help drive rapid development of new AI products within our portfolio companies, and work with the latest AI vendors to develop best practices for our companies’ engineering, product and design teams

This role will give exposure to investment decision making, value creation and transformation and will help you gain practical experience scaling the world’s premier software / technology businesses. Former members of this team have gone on to accelerate their careers in larger leadership roles within Vista and joined companies in the Vista portfolio as operators in key strategic roles.
