Strategy Consultant (Freelance)

Please note: The consultants we work with have all trained within the top tier of strategy consulting firms, such as McKinsey, Bain and BCG. A minimum of 2 years' experience at such firms.

Join Eden McCallum’s consulting projects on a freelance basis, and find the best of both worlds. Consultants working with Eden McCallum have all trained and developed with the leading global and boutique strategy and transformation houses. Consultants choose the projects they do, and deliver high-impact, rewarding work for major clients with teams of high calibre colleagues. A number of consultants focus on particular sectors, interests or geographies while others are generalists who work more broadly. Some work full time on client engagements while others choose to leave long gaps between projects or to work part time.

What does 'joining' Eden McCallum mean? Those selected to join our network are then considered for projects for which they have the right expertise and knowledge. For each project, we select the most qualified consultants and discuss the scope with them. Those consultants are then free to opt in or out. We then carefully curate the team so that it will work successfully together and exceed our clients' expectations. We serve clients on issues ranging from strategy to transformation. Our in-house Partners shape and oversee each assignment, drawing on the firm's more than two decades of experience.

Our structure gives us the freedom to meet client needs in a bespoke way: many of our project teams look much like those in traditional firms, and others take different shapes and sizes, including individual consultants embedded deeply in the client organisation. Our projects are supported by the outstanding analysts we recruit, train and develop in-house, ensuring rigorous analytics and the right leverage for our more experienced consultants. And because our independent consultants are freed from the consulting firm's in-house ladder, they can focus on doing great work, rather than selling the next project.
