Kearney Associate, Mobility, Defense and advanced Industrials

$188k - $194k

Kearney

Description

As an Associate at Kearney, you will be a key contributor to the growth and development of our Mobility, Defense and advanced Industrials Practice (MDI) as we offer honest advice and practical guidance to our clients. The MDI Practice supports organizations in the development, production, operations and sustainment of aerospace and defense platforms.

Working alongside a dedicated and diverse set of people, you will work alongside our clients to define and implement strategies that will deliver both short-term results and longer-term competitiveness in this ever-changing market environment.

Through unique hands-on experiences, you will broaden your knowledge across a breadth of topics while developing relationships with clients and colleagues across the firm. With the freedom to be yourself and recognition for what you bring to the table, you can put your purpose into action and help build a future that works for everyone, everywhere-as a Kearney Original.

Who you are

After nearly 100 years, we know this business is fundamentally about making connections-between facts, figures, insights, strategies, tools, technologies, and above all, people. That's why we look for collaborative, insightful, and inquisitive problem-solvers who don't accept the first thing in front of them and who are always unapologetically themselves.

In addition, we look for individuals with the following experience or qualities:

  • MBA degree preferred with 5-10 years of professional experience.
    • Master's degree preferred OR undergraduate degree with relevant work experience
  • Experience working as a Management Consultant strongly preferred.
  • Experience working in or alongside clients in the following industries:
    • Aerospace & Defense
    • Aviation
  • Functional expertise in manufacturing and supply chain operations
  • Active clearance is a plus
  • Be located near or willing to relocate to Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, New York, San Francisco, Washington D.C., or Toronto.
  • English fluency
What we can offer you

Every day, our people work to be the difference for our clients, our communities, and our colleagues. Helping them make an impact, they are sustained by a competitive remuneration package plus comprehensive benefits and perks, including but not limited to:

• Generous retirement/pension savings contributions

• Comprehensive medical insurance for employees and immediate family

• Gym membership discounts

• Non-partner equity-based awards (for consulting managers and above)

• Structured and on-the-job learning and development opportunities

• Personalized opportunities including talent mobility, flexible work programs, and externships to help you chart a unique career journey to pursue your own personal and professional goals

Associate Base Salary (post MBA) - $188,000 - $194,000 : However, it is important to note that at Kearney, it is not typical for an individual to be hired at the top of the range for their role. Individual salaries within each range are determined through a wide variety of factors including but not limited to education, experience, office location, knowledge and skills. Kearney reviews compensation regularly and may adjust base salaries to reflect market competitiveness. In addition to salary, individuals may be eligible for a discretionary performance bonus. Our full suite of benefits includes paid time off, paid sick time off, 401(k) match and profit sharing, medical, dental and vision coverage, healthcare concierge, backup child/adult care, annual employer HSA contribution, home office stipend, subsidized Gympass and annual wellness program, and leaves of absence when needed to support employees' physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Equal employment opportunity and non-discrimination

Kearney prides itself on providing a culture where our employees belong and thrive equally, which means our people feel comfort, confidence, and joy as they do great things for our firm, our colleagues, and our clients. That's why Kearney is committed to building a diverse workforce and inclusive environment. Kearney is an equal opportunity employer; we recruit, hire, train, promote, develop, and provide other conditions of employment without regard to a person's gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, race or ethnicity, religion, age, national origin, disability, marital status, pregnancy status, veteran status, genetic information, or any other differences consistent with applicable laws. This includes providing reasonable accommodation for disabilities or religious beliefs and practices. We encourage everyone to apply, including those who may not feel historically represented in consulting. #LI-DNP
