Overview

Stax recently announced a strategic investment by Blue Point Capital Partners which will fuel a new chapter of growth in key areas across the firm including expanding our recruitment and talent development efforts. To support our accelerated growth, Stax is growing our talented team of Consultants. We are seeking individuals with a passion for learning and the desire to tackle the most challenging issues businesses face today. Consultants play a vital role within the firm and are presented with tremendous opportunities for professional development and personal growth.

During your time at Stax, you will consistently face intellectually challenging projects with clients such as Private Equity funds, Investment Banks, and Fortune 500 companies. Working across a wide spectrum of industries on short-term engagements designed to last 4-12 weeks, you will gain new hands-on experiences with each project you encounter.

You will also have incredible opportunities to jump-start your consulting career. Our staff works side by side with-and learns from-some of the smartest people in the business. Our entrepreneurial approach to work and broad client base creates immediate opportunities for client exposure, providing enormous potential for career progression. Consultants work directly with senior professionals at the firm daily to diagnose our clients' most pressing issues while identifying new opportunities for value creation and to accelerate growth.

Life at Stax is unique - our goal is to empower and challenge employees, while supporting a reasonable work/life balance. No question: you will work hard. However, unlike other firms, we spend less time traveling, so you can focus on your professional and personal development, grow with your team, and get involved in your community.

At Stax, we have a clear mission: to be the place where a diverse mix of talented people want to come, to stay, and do their best work. From such diversity and inclusion comes our unique innovation and actionable insights.

WHY STAX
  • High-profile engagements with the largest and most recognizable private equity firms globally, the leadership teams of their PE-backed companies, hedge funds, and investment banks.
  • Front-line exposure and leadership roles with our action-oriented, non-bureaucratic client base across sectors and project types.

  • Associates, consultants, and managers are supported by our unique business model with integrated international teams that deliver research, data, analysis, and overnight support to allow you more time to think.
  • Opportunities for personal growth and career development based on the merits of your work - the chance to have more than a 2-3-year stint - real upward mobility. Good people who genuinely care about the firm's success and are consistently exploring ways to improve and build upon its accomplishments.
Competitive compensation that rewards strong performance and solid career development through mentorship and coaching opportunities. In addition, we offer comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your family, 401(k) savings plan with company matching, 3 weeks of vacation, life and disability insurance, generous parental leave, pre-tax transit benefits, mobile phone stipend, wellness reimbursement, charitable gift matching, and more.

Responsibilities

You will have exposure to a broad array of client needs and industries. Compensation consists of salary and bonus program competitive with leading strategy consulting firms. Travel is minimal (around 10%).

  • Structure client deliverables and act as the point person for content and structure thinking.
  • Effectively present sections of a deliverable to clients and field any questions pertaining to your area of oversight.
  • In many cases, you will be managing a small team of associates.
  • Participate in client development efforts and help provide development opportunities to other junior team members.
Qualifications
  • Candidates must have 2-4 years of experience with a strategy consulting firm, strategic planning/corporate strategy group, or private equity/venture capital firm.
  • Bachelor's degree with demonstrated academic excellence. An MBA degree is preferred but equivalent work experience will be considered.
  • Excellent strategic thinking, understanding of business research and analysis.
  • Strong quantitative and analytic skills required.
  • Effective communication skills, both written and verbal.
  • Strong presentation writing skills in PowerPoint and Word.
  • Detail oriented.
  • Self-starter with an intellectual curiosity and teamwork capabilities.
