About the job

Description

The Leadership Advisory Services (LAS) Researcher will use her/his deep domain knowledge to execute a diverse range of leadership/talent consulting projects. This individual will play a key role in partnering with other members of the LAS team and other service line client teams across industries and functions to sell and execute leadership advisory work. They will develop complex business development presentations that require new or innovative thinking. They will play an autonomous role alongside a more senior consultant on client mandates. This could take many forms, including leading a project work stream, which includes more project management and team leadership skills, or as a member of a large project team executing assessments alongside other consultants, which requires sophisticated interviewing skills and thought leadership. All types of roles rely on the Researcher to sometimes interact with the client autonomously and always in a mature and collaborative way. At times, the Researcher will serve as an individual contributor and, at other times, they will assume a team leadership role depending on the project requirements. This individual has no formal direct reports.

We provide a comprehensive onboarding and training program for every new hire, including formal mentors within the Leadership Advisory team and the local office.
