You're comfortable working with structured guidance while taking on more with each engagement.

• Bachelor's Degree or equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience. (If Associates Degree, must have minimum of 6 years work experience).

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience producing industry or function trend analyses, benchmarking outputs, or change-impact assessments
• Ability to analyze data and translate findings into structured recommendations
• Familiarity with process mapping or process modeling tools
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to communicate complex findings in clear business terms/structured recommendations
• Client-facing consulting or advisory experience
• Applies AI tools fluently and independently, including building agents, for higher-quality deliverables to business problems
