Consultants play important roles on our projects: performing research and analyses, engaging with partners, and supporting the project team. We have a wide breadth of projects and we try to match our consultants’ skills and interests to specific projects whenever possible. Typically, consultants will:
Conduct research and data analysis to generate meaningful insights
Share analyses and insights both in writing and verbally for variable audiences
Support the project team by managing work plans, preparing meeting materials, and following up on next steps from meetings
Demonstrate initiative and independent problem-solving
Effectively manage time and schedule
Develop knowledge of partner issues, needs, and context
Make frequent use of Excel, Google Sheets, Google Docs, Word, and PowerPoint.
In case it is helpful as a reference point, this role has similar responsibilities to a Business Analyst at McKinsey, Associate at BCG, or Associate Consultant at Bain. Travel varies by project but on average you can expect to travel once or twice a month.
