Senior Corporate Strategy - EY-Parthenon

We at EY-Parthenon, a strategic management consultancy hand of EY, are committed to bringing unconventional yet pragmatic thinking together with our clients’ smarts to deliver actionable strategies for real impact in today’s complex business landscape. We develop outstanding leaders who team up to deliver on our promises to all of our stakeholders. In doing so, we play a critical role in building a better working world for our clients, our people and our communities.

As a top tier management consulting company, we serve our clients in multiple industries across multiple project topics, such as Strategy & Growth, Value Creation, Commercial Due Diligence, PMI and many more.

We offer our employees a dynamic working environment with exposure to top-notch regional and international clients and ability to address their strategic challenges and ambitions, while working in a diverse team with great culture and spirit.

The opportunity
We are seeking to expand our team with Senior Consultants who will work across a range of sectors. As a Senior Consultant you will be responsible for structuring and executing significant portions of analysis, including drawing out implications for the client and creating clear storylines. Over time, Senior Consultants typically begin to step into leadership roles, managing small teams to produce client ready deliverables on a project. EY Parthenon has a very flat structure which will allow you to become actively involved in many levels of client work. You will often be asked to present your analysis for clients and play a key role in helping to develop and execute work plans.

At the Senior Consultant level, you will begin taking responsibility for developing the recommendations that will ultimately be implemented by our clients, whilst also learning how to contribute to and grow EY-Parthenon’s business through internal practice building and contributing to new business development. You will have opportunities to learn from senior team members through counselling relationships, mentoring, and coaching.
