• Present findings and recommendations to client stakeholders, including senior executives.

• Manage workstream timelines, risks, and dependencies while ensuring high-quality execution.

• Coach and mentor junior team members by providing guidance, feedback, and quality review of work products.

• Contribute to business development activities, proposal development, thought leadership, and internal firm initiatives.

• Leverage Innosight methodologies and emerging technologies, including generative AI, to enhance analysis, problem solving, and client impact.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum of 5 years of experience in management consulting, corporate strategy, operational transformation, business transformation, private equity value creation, leadership as a commissioned military officer, or related business leadership roles.

• Strong analytical, quantitative, and structured problem-solving capabilities.

• Experience applying generative AI tools and technologies in consulting, analytical, or business environments to support research, problem solving, analysis, and client impact.

• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities and navigate ambiguous business challenges.

• Strong proficiency in PowerPoint and Excel with the ability to create client-ready deliverables.
