The Position

The Expert will use her/his/their deep domain knowledge to execute a diverse range of leadership consulting projects. This individual will play a key role in partnering with other members of the Leadership Advisory Services (LAS) team and other service line teams across industries and functions to pitch and execute work which includes executive assessments, executive development, culture assessments, top team journeys and organization transformation mandates. The role has the potential to grow into a fully client facing role. The role may require project management and team leadership skills, or expect the expert to work in partnership with members of a large project team executing assessments alongside other consultants, which requires sophisticated interviewing skills and thought leadership.

As an experienced hire, this individual is expected to lead by example and act as an informal mentor and coach to both junior and senior members of team they work with throughout the organization – many of which will only have limited exposure to advisory solutions outside of executive search. At times, the Expert will serve as an individual contributor and, at other times, they will assume a project 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.
