Infinity Constellation Managing Director, Environmental Consulting at Infinity Constellation leads the environmental consulting business unit. Oversees client relationships, quality, and financial performance.
Responsibilities
We are looking for a Managing Director to found and lead Infinity's Environmental Consulting business unit. You will be the practitioner who deeply understands a specific environmental niche, holds real client relationships in it, and can define exactly what belongs on a compliant report. You will build a practice that carries meaningfully more work per person than a traditional firm, with Infinity building the tools that remove manual work from the process.
This is an entrepreneurial role with real upside: you shape the service offering, the team, and the tooling roadmap, and you share directly in the value you create.
About the Practice
Environmental consulting covers the compliance and permitting work required before, during, and after physical development, including pipelines, transmission lines, real estate, and industrial sites. It is not one discipline but many, each with its own methods and buyers: wetland and waterbody delineation, habitat and species surveys, contamination assessment, and regulatory compliance auditing.
A typical engagement begins once a client has identified a route or site. A team surveys the land, collects field data using GIS tools, and produces a report filed with local, state, and/or federal agencies. Demand is driven by regulation rather than sentiment, and the cost of noncompliance far exceeds the cost of the service.
The industry remains manual and fragmented. Reports are largely boilerplate with small jurisdiction-specific edits, yet no shared source of truth exists for what each county or agency requires, so practitioners spend real time searching and calling around. Projects also pass through chains of subcontractors, which leaves clients feeling that no one is accountable for the outcome. Infinity is building the tools, and the single point of accountability, to fix that.
Lead the business unit: Run the Environmental Consulting BU end to end, including strategy, client relationships, quality, and financial performance.
Define the niche: Decide which environmental sub-specialty or sub-specialties the unit serves, and who the buyers are.
Originate and grow the book: Bring your existing client relationships to Infinity and expand them across a wide roster of clients.
Stand behind the outcome: Serve as the single accountable point of contact for clients, from site survey through filing, so they are not left managing a chain of subcontractors.
Set the standard for a compliant report: Define what a complete, jurisdiction-correct report contains, and review and sign off on drafted reports rather than assembling them from scratch.
Direct the tooling: Work with Infinity's engineering and product teams on a centralized source for jurisdiction-specific requirements, streamlined field data capture, and automated report drafting.

Required
Deep niche expertise: Substantial hands-on experience in a specific environmental discipline, with the technical credentials and standing that regulators and clients require.
Real client relationships: An existing book of business, or the relationships to build one quickly.
Regulatory fluency: Command of what local, state, and/or federal agencies require for your niche, including where requirements vary by jurisdiction.
Senior practitioner or already independent: Either a senior non-partner deep in delivering the service today and ready to build a practice with real upside, or a practitioner who has already gone independent and wants to be super-powered by Infinity: the backbone, tooling, and capital to carry far more work without rebuilding a firm around yourself.
A point of view on automation: You know which parts of the work (research on jurisdictional requirements, field data capture, report drafting) should move to an AI-driven workflow first.
Entrepreneurial mindset: Energized by rebuilding the firm itself rather than building software to sell to existing firms.
Location: Based in the United States. Our business units currently serve US clients only.
