  • Confidently present conclusions and recommendations in client meetings and workshops, handling questions and challenges effectively

  • Plan the work for the team (workplans, milestones) while translating and incorporating senior leadership direction and requirements

  • Lead and develop junior team members through delegation, coaching, and quality assurance; contribute to feedback and development planning

  • Support business development and practice growth, including proposal development, IP contributions, pipeline support, and cross-team coordination

Qualifications
  • 4–5 years’ relevant work experience, ideally within a consulting environment

  • Demonstrated interest in (and ideally experience with) people consulting work (e.g., culture, org design, leadership alignment, talent/skills, change)

  • Proven ability to deliver high-quality strategic output

  • Strong facilitation and client-handling skills; comfortable with mid/senior stakeholders

  • Demonstrated people leadership: delegation, coaching, and quality assurance

  • Excellent judgment under pressure; able to prioritize and drive progress amid ambiguity

  • Strong commercial judgement and ability to recognize client needs and broader business context

  • High discretion and professionalism when working with sensitive client topics
