You will acquire and continuously refresh a sound understanding of a dedicated industry’s/sector’s key clients, hot topics, and firm expertise/staffing pools that are relevant to bring the best of the firm to a given study. Your work will help to ensure consultants are appropriately staffed in teams where they can leverage their experience, have opportunities to learn and develop, including positive team experience. At the same time, you will help project leaders and partners to navigate staffing, find the best-fit profiles and help them compose the team accordingly.

You will monitor each consultant's development, career progression, and other career-related topics as they arise and provide your consultants with formal and informal feedback related to their staffing and evaluations. You will work closely with internal mentors and industry/practice leads, to ensure that consultants receive timely and required development opportunities, while reflecting needs in client service.

You will build strong, trust-based relationships with consultants including an in-depth understanding of professional aspirations, experience, strengths, development needs, and relevant personal skills. You will build capabilities to appropriately guide and support the consultants in their journey and staffing.

You will report and manage the information flow in the required systems. Moreover, you will own the reporting for an industry sector to create transparency and support decision-making for our Industrials leadership.

You will also work and assume responsibility for a variety of ad hoc as well as special projects surfaced by the office leader, professional development leaders and other key stakeholders.
