About the Consultant Position

Consultants (Cs) play an important role on project teams at Bridgespan working on addressing clients’ strategic issues through gathering powerful data, analyses, and generating recommendations that enable them to increase their impact. As members of case teams, Cs develop independent work plans and take ownership of significant portions of client work. To facilitate the development of strong client relationships, Cs are often partnered with members of the client team and it is expected that they will quickly assume team and client leadership responsibilities.

Once fully onboarded, Cs will follow our 50-50 staffing model, meaning they will work on two projects at a time with different teams. Cs enter as generalists, projects range considerably in topic and client profile, making it ideal for candidates who are enthusiastic about exploring the full range of work we do. Topics range considerably from education to public health to criminal justice, and much more. Our client portfolio includes philanthropists or philanthropic institutions; nonprofits or movements; and impact investors. Cs will also have an opportunity to engage in research and writing projects so that leaders everywhere can benefit from the insights Bridgespan gleans in its work.

Responsibilities and Duties

While most of the training is on the job, Cs attend formalized training sessions throughout their career at Bridgespan, beginning with an extensive orientation program. As the C progresses, there are training programs that focus on developing deeper consulting skills. Bridgespan Cs also participate in training programs with Bain Cs from around the world. Bridgespan helps each Consultant build a successful career : cracking tough problems, communicating solutions with clients and teams, and collaborating across levels including with Associate Consultant and Managers.

Qualifications

Consultants are required to relocate to their home office city given the apprenticeship model in our consulting work. Consultants are required to work from their home Bridgespan office at least 2 days per week. This policy is designed to offer meaningful opportunity for in-person learning, relationship building and mentorship, while also offering staff considerable flexibility.

KEY APPLICATION REMINDERS

In your cover letter, please share "what motivates you to pursue a career in consulting and how Bridgespan’s mission aligns with your identity, experiences, and values."

Note that a cover letter is a required part of your application. Please submit your resume and cover letter in one combined PDF file. Applications without cover letter will not be considered for this position.

Please note : We are unable to sponsor visas of any kind for roles based in our U.S. offices. We encourage you to apply ONLY to the office you are local to or willing to relocate to as we won’t accommodate offer transfers.

Upcoming Recruiting Webinars (U.S. only)
