Compensation: Equity-based (no fixed salary initially; vesting model)

Kanvaz & Associates is a new Switzerland-based advisory firm specialised in supply chain transformation for mid-market and private equity portfolio companies. We combine AI-powered diagnostics, benchmarking, and playbooks with performance-based advisory. Unlike traditional consulting models, our value proposition is based on shared risk and realized benefits, making us a partner in measurable client success.

We operate with a network of experienced advisory partners and industry subject-matter experts, anchored by a lean equity partner team. Our clients are typically mid-cap companies (€100m–€1bn revenue) and private equity investors in the DACH, UK and Benelux regions.

We are seeking a Managing Partner to join Kanvaz & Associates as a co-owner and leader of the advisory business. This is an equity-only role, suited for a senior professional with proven advisory experience in Germany/DACH, who is ready to build a new-generation consultancy alongside our founder.
