Lead, build and grow - with the opportunity to co-own from day one. Help build the firm, and share in the value you help create.

Bang & Partners is a brand-new procurement consultancy - and you can be part of it from the very beginning. We combine the raw energy and ownership of a start-up with the rigour of top-tier consulting - and impact that goes beyond it, because we execute, not just advise. The firm is founded and led by Thor Bang-Ellingsen, who over 13 years helped build Prokura - a Nordic procurement consultancy acquired by Kearney - into a global firm, and built its Norwegian business from the ground up. He knows exactly what it takes. The network is there, and the track record to believe we will succeed again. What we are building now is the team that takes it to the next level - and we want you in it early.

The opportunity

As an Associate Partner at Bang & Partners, you are part of the leadership of a young firm with real momentum. You lead major engagements, develop the consultants coming up behind you, and help grow the business - increasingly originating and selling work as you build your own platform. You are a strategic partner to senior clients - and a builder of the firm itself.

For the right Associate Partner, this is a genuine ownership role from day one. We are open to equity ownership from the start for candidates who bring the expertise, the ambition, and a commercial platform - established or emerging - to build with us. Not an equity “journey” you wait years for, but a real stake in the firm you help create.

What you will do

Lead procurement engagements and grow client relationships - increasingly originating and selling work as you build your platform

Own entire engagements end-to-end - the team and the strategic client relationship

Build and grow client accounts, converting your network into pipeline and lasting relationships

Develop consultants and set the standard for how we deliver and win

Shape the firm's offerings, commercial model and go-to-market as part of how the firm is run

Bring AI and modern method into how we sell and deliver

What we are looking for

A strong academic background and track record

Typically 7 or more years of relevant experience in procurement and/or strategic consulting - primarily or wholly from a leading consulting firm

Sales and business development as part of the path - an emerging or established track record; selling isn't the entry ticket, the drive to build it is

A relevant network in the Nordic market, or the credibility to build one

A strong, credible leader who develops teams and earns client trust

Excellent communication in Norwegian and English, from working teams to the boardroom

The ambition to co-build - and co-own - a firm

Excited by AI as part of the craft - quick to adopt the best tools, and keen to help shape the ones we build ourselves

Procurement is our focus - but we're also open to strong supply chain profiles, an area we plan to grow.

What we offer

Equity ownership from day one for the right candidate - a real stake in the firm you help build

A leadership seat in a firm being built from the ground up - yours to help shape

The freedom to build your own practice and shape the firm’s direction

Uncapped upside tied directly to the value you create - in the P&L, and in the equity for those who become co-owners

Shared upside, not just salary - when we win, everyone wins

Senior, accountable work alongside practitioners who have done it before

A sustainable, high-trust work model built for the long game, not for burnout
