Manager, Strategy Consulting

Stax
Chicago, IL, US
Full-time

Overview

Stax recently announced a strategic investment by Blue Point Capital Partners which will fuel a new chapter of growth in key areas across the firm including expanding our recruitment and talent development efforts.

To support our accelerated growth, Stax is growing our talented team of consultants.

Stax Inc. is expanding our talented team of consultants. We are seeking seasoned Manager with 5+ years of experience who enjoy learning fast and finding new ways to solve challenging and complex business issues.

As a Manager, you’ll have a highly visible role on your team and your work will directly impact the team’s success.

We recognize you are driven by the opportunity to learn by doing. Managers directly interact with clients and are expected to take initiative, leading to increased responsibility.

Working across a wide spectrum of industries on short-term engagements, you will constantly be learning something new. For Managers, Stax creates an environment where you will have enormous potential for client and industry exposure and career progression.

Life at Stax is unique - our goal is to empower and challenge employees, while supporting a reasonable work / life balance.

No question : you’ll work hard. However, unlike other firms where a willingness to travel means uprooting your life for weeks or months at a time, we don’t uphold the label road warrior as a badge of honor.

Our efficient and focused approach creates shorter, less frequent trips driving greater value for and appreciation from our clients.

As such, you’ll have more time for professional and personal development, allowing great people and teams to grow as well as get involved in our communities.

Our success stems from our unique ability to quickly diagnose an issue, develop clear fact-based answers and provide practical next steps.

We tackle engagements by debating with facts and analysis. Our consultants are empowered to call it like they see it, rather than deliver answers they think clients want to hear.

Our entire staff is intelligent, innovative and - most importantly - willing to roll up their sleeves.

At Stax, we have a clear mission : to be the place where a diverse mix of talented people want to come, to stay, and do their best work.

From such diversity and inclusion comes our unique innovation and actionable insights.
