Emergent Method’s consultants work hand-in-hand with organizations to plan for what’s next, manage complex initiatives, and bring people together around the decisions that shape the communities they serve.
We’re looking for an organized, proactive problem solver who is eager to begin a career in management consulting, excited to work on ambitious projects with well-known clients, committed to delivering transformative results, and ready to take ownership of a dynamic range of work — whether it’s keeping a complex project on track, facilitating a strategic planning retreat, building consensus among stakeholders, or developing a communication plan that moves a client’s goals forward.
The Work You Can Do:
As a consultant, you’ll work alongside experienced team members to contribute directly to projects that call for clear thinking and excellent execution across strategic planning, project management, research and data analytics, facilitation, and strategic communication.
You Work May Include:
- Supporting client engagements related to strategic planning, research, data analytics, meeting and retreat facilitation, consensus building, and strategic communication
- Identifying client needs, defining goals and objectives, and developing communication deliverables, plans, and campaigns that are aligned with client goals
- Managing your pieces of a project: developing plans and timelines, tracking action items and deadlines, reporting progress on milestones, incorporating feedback, and seeing work through to delivery
- Drafting client-facing plans, presentations, proposals, memos, and other documents with careful attention to language, formatting, and consistency
- Learning a wide variety of subject matter related to client industries
- Developing processes and spotting opportunities to improve an idea, solve a problem, or make a deliverable stronger
- Communicates clearly and pays close attention to the details
- Thinks critically and enjoys solving problems
- Takes initiative, owns timelines and work product, and follows through with minimal oversight
- Has the ability to move between projects and priorities as needed without losing sight of deadlines
- Brings a strong work ethic and thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
- Is eager to learn new skills, adopt new methodologies, and grow professionally
- Is willing to roll up their sleeves on any task — from developing the big picture to getting the details right
- Wants to build trust with clients by staying client-focused and delivering above and beyond expectations
- Is based in Louisiana's Capital and Acadiana regions; however, statewide applicants will be considered and are encouraged to apply
- A bachelor’s degree in business, communication studies, or a related field
- Experience in business management, project management, the public sector, consulting, or comparable experience demonstrating the skills needed for this role
- Strong communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills
- The ability to manage multiple projects, deadlines, and deliverables at once
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, Word, and PowerPoint

What We Do
Emergent Method is a Louisiana-based management consulting firm focused on helping companies and organizations innovate, grow, improve their performance, and achieve their missions. We do this by bringing people and ideas together to understand opportunities, let ideas emerge and create multi-faceted solutions with results greater than the sum of their parts.

From strategic planning and organizational design, to project management and strategic communications, we are dedicated to helping our clients adapt, innovate and grow – pushing systems, agencies, and industries to new heights, while developing strategic, systemic solutions and processes to support those goals. We opened our doors in 2012, and in 2017, we were honored as Company of the Year by the Greater Baton Rouge Business Report and Junior Achievement, a recognizable benchmark of growth – and we seek the same measures of continuous improvement for the clients we serve. By definition, we are a team dedicated to our clients as they transform, come into being, or become prominent – as they emerge – by supporting organizational growth through systematic planning and action.
