• Take ownership of your professional development through continuous learning and feedback

Requirements:

• Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship now or in the future.
• 2-4 years relevant experience, ideally in consulting/professional services, but we’d also be interested if you’ve built strong consulting-style skills in places like investment banking, private equity, or a fast-paced start-up.
• Demonstrated experience owning workstreams or leading significant components of projects
• Track record of high performance and progression
• Strong analytical and structured problem-solving ability

• Comfortable leading client conversations — including the tough ones — and keeping delivery on track in fast‑paced environments.
• A problem‑solver at heart, thinking from first principles and applying a pragmatic, solutions‑focused approach.
