What you will do

As a Senior Consultant, you will work alongside colleagues at all levels and with clients around the world to solve complex problems and drive meaningful change.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Conducting and overseeing research, interviews, surveys, and quantitative analyses

• Synthesizing findings into clear, actionable insights and recommendations

• Developing compelling, client-ready presentations and communications

• Leading defined project workstreams and managing deliverables, timelines, and quality

• Collaborating closely with clients and project teams to drive alignment and successful project outcomes

• Supporting implementation and helping clients translate recommendations into action

• Coaching and supporting more junior team members

• Contributing to practice development, intellectual capital, and knowledge-building initiatives

Generalist consultants have the opportunity to work across a range of industries and capabilities, building broad experience before aligning more closely with a practice area and deepening their expertise. Depending on business needs and project opportunities, this may include work across Consumer, Telecommunications and Technology, Energy and Natural Resources, Banking and Financial Services, Insurance and Asset Management, Health and Life Sciences, Performance Transformation, Private Capital, and Transportation and Advanced Industrials.

We value flexibility, including opportunities for hybrid working, and offer a range of employee resource groups, communities, and social activities.
