At FTI Consulting, you'll work side-by-side with leaders who have shaped history, helping solve the biggest challenges making headlines today. From day one, you'll be an integral part of a focused team where you can make a real impact. You'll be surrounded by an open, collaborative culture that embraces diversity, recognition, professional development and, most importantly, you.

Are you ready to make your impact?

About The Role

Are you ready to dive into complex business environments and contribute to high-impact recommendations that drive client success? As a Consultant at FTI Consulting, you will be immersed in a dynamic and collaborative working environment where our experienced consultants will mentor you in the journey to identify challenges, perform in-depth analysis and generate insights that shape strategic decisions. This role requires extremely solid problem-solving skills, end-to-end financial modelling skills, being capable of leading content discussion and the ability to work effectively in a team setting. You will be expected to handle multiple tasks simultaneously and deliver high-quality work under tight deadlines.

You will thrive in a high-paced, dynamic environment, managing multiple priorities efficiently and adapting quickly to changing project needs. You will manage project modules with guidance from senior team members, demonstrate the ability to prioritize tasks, manage workloads, communicate project statuses, deliver high-quality outputs within deadlines, and proactively implement feedback to address areas of improvement.
