About the role
You will operate as part of an engagement team, typically consisting of a team of 2-5 consultants led by an engagement manager. Together you will drive the day-to-day execution of a transformation effort to help clients achieve new performance highs in their business.
You will apply a proven, methodology-driven approach to large-scale transformation that focuses on execution and capability building. Your client engagements will often span >6 months, and they will generally include three phases: Independent Diligence, Bottom-Up Planning, and Implementation. Within these engagements we ensure Analysts are exposed to multiple areas of the businesses, rotating their responsibilities across the Transformation Office and functional and strategic support areas.
You will work directly with clients - usually on site - and will take ownership of specific workstreams and end-products within the overall transformation program. You will be responsible for delivering the transformation objectives within your workstream, coaching your clients to develop and execute effective improvement plans and role-modeling a mindset of rapid decision-making. Above all, your job will be to mobilize and help clients to achieve change that exceeds their expectations.
More broadly, you will have the opportunity to build on your proven capabilities and leverage a range of influencing styles. You will inspire others, build strong relationships and display high energy and resilience in ambiguous and fast-paced contexts. In a collaborative team setting, you'll work closely with others but will also – after appropriate apprenticeship – be expected to operate autonomously with limited direction to drive progress in your areas of accountability.
