  • Develop high-quality client deliverables, including presentations, models, and supporting analyses.

  • Facilitate client meetings, workshops, interviews, and working sessions.

  • 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 4 years of experience in management consulting, corporate strategy, operational transformation, business transformation, private equity value creation, 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.
