• Supporting implementation and helping clients translate recommendations into action

• Coaching and supporting more junior team members

• Contributing to practice development, intellectual capital, and knowledge-building initiatives

Generalist consultants have the opportunity to work across a range of industries and capabilities, building broad experience before aligning more closely with a practice area and deepening their expertise. Depending on business needs and project opportunities, this may include work across Consumer, Telecommunications and Technology, Energy and Natural Resources, Banking and Financial Services, Insurance and Asset Management, Health and Life Sciences, Performance Transformation, Private Capital, and Transportation and Advanced Industrials.

Why Join us?

We value flexibility, including opportunities for hybrid working, and offer a range of employee resource groups, communities, and social activities.
