Innosight is a strategy and operations consulting firm that helps leaders and private equity investors cut through complexity to improve performance and unlock value. We support private equity deal teams and portfolio companies through Operational Due Diligence and value creation, and we partner with corporate and public-sector clients on operational transformation, profitability improvement, and growth strategy.
Our teams work on CEO-level priorities translating strategy into practical, operationally-grounded plans that deliver measurable results (e.g., margin/EBITDA lift, working capital reduction, SG&A efficiency, and complexity reduction).
Innosight’s WP&C practice was voted Best Small Strategy Firm to work for by Consulting Magazine (2019, 2024 and 2025).

As a Senior Associate, you will own major workstreams and help teams solve ambiguous problems with rigorous, hands-on analysis, then turn that analysis into clear, executive-ready recommendations. You will work closely with Managers/Partners and often serve as the day-to-day client lead for your workstream, helping keep teams aligned, hypotheses sharp, and deliverables high-quality.

Senior Associates are expected to serve as the day-to-day workstream lead: structuring the work, driving the analysis, guiding junior teammates, and ensuring the recommendations are clear and actionable for senior clients.

Responsibilities

• Structure problems and build the workplan: define hypotheses, prioritize analyses, and break work into clear workstreams and outputs.

• Lead core analyses: financial/profitability analysis, operational diagnostics, cost and complexity drivers, and value-creation sizing

• Synthesize insights into a point of view: convert analysis into a tight storyline and clear recommendations for executives and investors.

• Run the workstream day-to-day: manage timelines, risks, and dependencies; keep stakeholders aligned; raise issues early with leadership.

• Coach and develop junior team members: provide direction, quality-check work, and teach structured problem solving.

• Client presence: facilitate working sessions, present findings, and build credibility through crisp communication and “so-what” thinking.

• Contribute to growth: support proposals and help identify follow-on opportunities

Qualifications

• MBA required (top-tier program preferred)

• 4+ years of experience in consulting, private equity ops/value creation, corporate strategy/ops, or a highly analytical operating role

• Demonstrated strength in structured problem solving, quantitative analysis, and executive communication

• Comfortable working in client-facing, ambiguous environments with high ownership

• Travel and Role Location: Travel requirements vary by project, but candidates must be willing to travel weekly (up to 80%). You may live anywhere in the contiguous 48 states near a major airport.
