Overview

We are seeking an Associate Consultant at Senior Analyst / Junior Consultant level (c. 2-4 years' experience in consulting) to support an international business planning transformation programme within the FMCG sector.

  • Workshops & Interviews: Conduct structured interviews and workshops with client stakeholders to capture current practices, identify gaps, and co-create improvements.
  • Analysis & Reporting: Consolidate findings into clear, structured outputs, identifying variances against the playbook methodology.
  • Facilitation: Engage cross-functional client teams, facilitating workshops and ensuring alignment around process/organisational changes.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Present findings and recommendations to senior leadership teams within client markets.
  • Collaboration: Work alongside a senior director to co-lead sprints, alternating between independent client delivery and joint facilitation.
  • Flexibility: Operate effectively across time zones (Europe, India, North America, Asia) with adjusted working hours where needed.

Required Experience & Skills

  • 2-4 years' experience in management consulting, business transformation, or process optimisation.
  • Exposure to FMCG / retail / consumer goods projects (advantageous but not essential).
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills (qualitative focus, not heavy quantitative modelling).
  • Excellent communication and facilitation skills - able to run interviews and workshops, distil insights, and present to leadership teams.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, sprint-based project environment.
  • Fluent in English (other languages not required).
  • Willingness to travel internationally (initially Mumbai for 2 weeks).

Engagement Details
