THE ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• ASSOCIATES: will effectively break down complex problems into discrete tasks, identifying the key aspects of a problem and directing the focus of junior consultants to those elements project managing with the support of a senior team. You will plan and execute analysis as well as identify the core issues in complex analyses in order to be able to craft suitable recommendations, and work side by side with clients and your project team members to move projects forward and manage small teams to get the work done.
• ENGAGEMENT MANAGERS: are the on-scene leaders who run our projects day to day. You will lead the team through an efficient and effective problem-solving process from initial hypothesis based on deep industry and function know-how through convergence on a solution. You will ensure that recommendations are bold, practical, relevant and cohesive. It’s a role that demands thought leadership at the strategic level – and command of project leadership and stakeholder management capabilities. You will need great communication skills and the ability to forge strong relationships.
