For more than 40 years, our “industry insider” approach to bespoke research has supported clients in a focused group of specialized markets and disciplines.

The primary role of a Consultant/Senior Consultant is to support engagements by managing the research and fact‑gathering process, analyzing and synthesizing findings, and developing deliverables for clients. Consultants/Senior Consultants serve as a coach and mentor to small teams of junior consultants on each project. They work as generalists across practices and will be staffed on projects that vary in industry, scope, length, and location.

As a Consultant/Senior Consultant, you will:

• Successfully work on complex projects (i.e., multiple markets, expansive scope on nuanced subject matter) from start to finish and/or multiple engagements concurrently.
• Manage complex work streams from start to finish and/or entire projects with low complexity (e.g., refresh of prior engagement, minimal project scope).
• Proactively support more junior team members in utilizing research methods, executing the research plan, and troubleshooting potential challenges.
• Create a successful research plan, including distillation of key SOW elements, to ensure depth and breadth of research to answer key client questions.
• Distill novel and actionable insights and elevate them into high value, well‑substantiated conclusions.
• Develop clear and actionable frameworks/models, using these to tell a compelling story with a strategic structure.
• Successfully utilize qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques with minimal supervision.
• Edit own and junior team members’ work to ensure deliverables submitted to Managers require minimal revisions and avoid “unforced errors.”
• Develop compelling storyboards (e.g., slide templates for an entire deliverable or major section of analysis) that are logical, to‑point, and support the client narrative.
• Serve as a mentor and coach to small teams of junior consultants; this includes supporting Associate Consultants in research plan execution.
• Act as a direct resource for clients throughout the engagement by facilitating and leading portions of client meetings, depending on project needs.
• Use qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques and robust problem‑solving approaches to distill research into actionable conclusions.
• Effectively communicate our conclusions directly to clients through the creation of creative and impactful presentations.

Be supported by an unparalleled group of peers and leaders throughout each engagement.
