About the Role As an associate consultant, you'll support our consultants and lead consultants as they get to the heart of a client's problem. You'll help map how work really happens today, dig into the data to find the root causes behind the symptoms and build the evidence that puts a value on fixing them. From there, you'll help shape solutions across people, processes, experience, technology and data. Our work carries on once the strategy is set.
