Management Consultant

About M2P

The gap between a great strategy and real results lives between the boardroom and the gate. M2P exists in that space, a specialist advisory firm with deep roots in aviation, redefining what operational excellence and strategic transformation look like across the full aviation ecosystem, from airports and airlines to the organizations that keep the industry moving.

At M2P, you'll feel the impact of your work from the first engagement, embedded in a close-knit team where your thinking shapes client outcomes directly and experienced leaders invest in you personally.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a sharp, driven Management Consultant who leads with rigorous thinking and communicates with clarity and conviction. Aviation is a complex, high-stakes industry where the distance between strategy and execution is where things go wrong.

Our consultants work on some of the most operationally complex programs, from technology procurements with real commercial stakes, multi-party governance challenges, and implementation decisions that carry significant consequences. They work across the full ecosystem of airport operators, airlines, government agencies and technology vendors, helping clients structure difficult decisions and then helping them execute with discipline. From strategy to delivery, they navigate challenges that are at once technical and organizational.

If you think in frameworks, write with precision, and can hold a room with a well-crafted narrative, this role would be a great fit.

You'll own workstreams end-to-end, advising senior aviation and airport leaders on some of the industry's toughest operational and strategic challenges. These are real transformations with real consequences for the airports and airlines we serve.

What You'll Do

Problem-Solving and Analysis

• Apply hypothesis-driven thinking to break down complex aviation challenges into clear, actionable paths forward, demonstrating quantitative rigor and qualitative depth
• Lead root cause analyses, stress-test assumptions, and translate findings into a sharp, evidence-based point of view

Communication and Storytelling

• Build compelling narratives, written and verbal, that translate rigorous analysis into stories that move senior leaders to act
• Lead workshops, stakeholder interviews, and client presentations that leave the room with defined owners, decisions, and next steps
• Contribute to polished deliverables and proposals that shape M2P's commercial direction

Client Partnership

• Serve as a trusted, day-to-day strategic partner to senior client stakeholders
• Equip clients with the tools and capabilities that outlast the engagement
• Navigate complex stakeholder environments spanning government agencies, city entities, airlines, airport authorities, contractors, and technology providers, building alignment across organizations with different mandates and competing priorities

Your Growth

At M2P, growth is built around direct exposure, close mentorship, and responsibility from the start. You'll work alongside senior leaders on every engagement, build meaningful client relationships, and help shape how this firm evolves. We invest deeply in our people because at our size, every person's development matters to the whole firm.

What We're Looking For

You bring:

• 3+ years of consulting experience, with a track record of analytical work and client-facing deliverables
• Exceptional structured problem-solving, and the ability to synthesize complexity into clear, defensible recommendations
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including executive-ready presentations
• Deep curiosity about aviation and the drive to become a subject-matter voice in the industry
• High integrity, humility, and the character to earn trust from senior clients
• A Bachelor's degree in Aviation, Business, Engineering, Information Systems, Data Analytics, or a related field
• Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly PowerPoint and Excel
• Current residence in the Chicago area with legal authorization to work in the U.S.
• Willingness to travel
