Job Description
Role Overview
As Manager, Internal Consulting, you’ll serve as the engagement owner for high-priority internal consulting projects. You’ll lead work end-to-end—from scoping and analysis through execution and handover—while mentoring Associates and Analysts who support the work. This is not a formal people-management role. Instead, it’s a project leadership and coaching role. You’ll set direction, delegate effectively, raise the quality bar, and ensure our work is rigorous, practical, and useful to the teams we serve. You’ll think like a management consultant but act like an operator: comfortable moving from frameworks and data to field realities and follow-through.
