  • Contribute to business development efforts, client proposals, and thought leadership.

Requirements

  • MBA degree candidates graduating from top-tier academic programs, with a related bachelor's or advanced degree preferred;
  • Previous consulting or transferable business experience in energy, finance, or life sciences and demonstrated interest in and knowledge of the industry, with strong preference for candidates with two years of strategy consulting experience or industry experience;
  • Previous client service experience, including managing relationships, facilitating meetings, and delivering presentations;
  • Experience with quantitative and qualitative analysis methods and techniques;
  • Staff and project management experience, including budgeting and project planning/management;
  • Effective written and oral communication skills;
  • Demonstrated high level of initiative and leadership;
  • Strong teamwork and collaboration capabilities;
  • Excellent time management and task prioritization skills;
