You will lead a significant portion of an engagement while guiding and developing individual team members. You’ll work directly with clients, and you’ll take ownership of the overall project (or significant portion) and its end products. You will make an important contribution to the analysis, design, and structuring of recommendations that enable clients to chart an actionable path forward. Strategy engagements cover a range of client situations, including corporate/business unit strategy, go-to-market strategy, and translating strategy to major initiatives.
You will have the opportunity to build on your proven leadership skills and leverage your interest in inspiring others and building strong relationships. In a collaborative team setting, you'll work closely with others but also autonomously with little direction. Your superior analytical, quantitative and conceptual thinking skills and strong interpersonal and communication skills will ensure successful client engagements and team performance.
Client engagement work typically includes gathering and analyzing information, formulating and testing hypotheses, and developing recommendations for presentation to client management. From there, you will develop path forward steps to implement those recommendations, such that client team members understand and follow through to execution. These path forward steps will often require collaboration with team members from our Industry and Solutions teams.
You’ll also gain new skills and build on the strengths you bring to the firm. The Strategy Practice’s culture is marked by intentional apprenticeship and proactive personal development. Consultants receive exceptional training as well as frequent coaching and mentoring from colleagues and senior leaders on their teams.
