Portage Point Partners
Portage Point Partners is a Chicago-headquartered advisory, interim management and investment banking firm focused on serving the middle-market. Backed by New Mountain Capital, the firm has grown at over 30% annually since its founding in 2016 and today operates from ten offices across the United States. The firm delivers integrated financial and operational solutions across Transaction Advisory Services, Transaction Execution Services, Office of the CFO, Valuations, Performance Improvement, Turnaround & Restructuring and Investment Banking. Engagement teams are lean and execution-oriented, working directly with senior stakeholders to navigate complex transitions and transformations. Triple P India (TPI) is a strategic extension of the firm’s platform, established to build a high-quality team that operates as an integrated part of U.S.-based teams. Professionals in TPI are involved in live engagements from the outset, contributing to analysis, execution and client deliverables in coordination with colleagues across the firm. The platform is designed to provide meaningful responsibility, direct exposure to senior leadership and long-term growth in a high-performance environment. The Commercial Strategy team is responsible for optimizing the firm’s go-to-market strategy, commercial operations and business development infrastructure. The team partners closely with firm leadership and practice leaders to drive revenue growth, enhance client engagement, improve pipeline visibility and strengthen decision-making through technology, data and process optimization. By leveraging platforms such as Intapp DealCloud and related business systems, the Commercial Strategy team delivers scalable solutions that improve collaboration, increase operational efficiency and support the firm’s continued expansion. The Head of Commercial Enablement (CE) is a dual-mandate leader – a credentialed industry subject matter expert (SME) who also builds and runs the firm’s Commercial Enablement function. You will drive both firmwide CE strategy and operating model while owning the commercial agenda for your respective industry sector. Reporting to the Head of Commercial Strategy, this leader owns one of the firm’s industry verticals while directing the broader CE operating model that spans all verticals, the account and pipeline disciplines and Commercial Operations. As an SME, this leader carries the same sector mandate as the firm’s Industry Vertical Leaders – building the commercial point of view (POV) for an assigned industry, producing the market insight that drives origination, supporting business development efforts and proposal creation. As the function head, this leader sets the CE operating model, manages the Vertical Leaders and the Account and Pipeline Vice Presidents (VPs) and serves as the senior CE voice to the Managing Director (MD) and leadership team. Success is measured by the commercial output of the assigned vertical, the maturity and consistency of the CE operating model across all verticals and the degree to which key stakeholders rely on CE for industry expertise (content and context) and as the engine for origination and pipeline discipline.
