Job description

Artemis Connection is a strategic management consultancy working across the for-profit, public and social sectors. We help clients around the world identify their most pressing strategic issues and we staff teams of strategy consultants to roll up their sleeves and deliver impact. We are passionate about helping innovative and entrepreneurial leaders reach their goals through a customized project-based approach, typically focused around:

• Bespoke Innovation, Sales, and Marketing Strategy
• Purpose-driven Transformation
• Embedded Strategy and Operations roles

Our founder is Christy Johnson, an entrepreneur, educator, and former McKinsey Engagement Manager. Our advisors include HR officers, executive coaches, academics, entrepreneurs, and neuroscientists. Our team is made up of seasoned consultants, trained at organizations such as McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Bain, Big 4 Strategy, and elite educational institutions.

What makes Artemis Connection unique is the opportunity to combine this first-rate consulting experience with the flexibility that many other consulting firms don’t offer. In short, we’re a consulting firm for experienced top-tier consultants who still want to deliver exemplary value for clients but who need more flexibility in their professional and personal lives. Specifically, we’re flexible with where you want to work and how many hours you want to work – meaning no rigid expectations of being at the client every day, living in a certain city, or clocking in a full 50 hours (or more) each week, whilst still delivering exceptional results for our clients.

Currently, our team members are spread across the country, engaging with clients remotely (occasionally on-site, as client needs dictate) and working varied hours. We offer market-rate compensation based on the outcomes that you deliver and the number of hours and weeks that you will be leading project work, plus bonuses for bringing in new clients.

Given our flexible structure and smaller size, we tend to bring on new team members in a “trial-to-hire” capacity. In other words, we initially hire individuals as independent contractors for discrete client projects, and then, after successful projects completion and mutual determination of “fit”, we may move towards a more permanent employment arrangement.

Position overview

Strategists typically join Artemis after completing a couple years at another strategic consulting firm, often in an Analyst or Associate role. Since we offer both full- and part-time opportunities, our Strategists are staffed on 2-3 projects (if full-time) or 1-2 projects (if part-time), managed by a Principal or EM on each. A sample week for an Artemis Strategist might include analyzing client data for insights, benchmarking client competitors via primary and secondary research methods, packaging findings into a client presentation, and joining a client read-out to capture next steps.

Responsibilities

• Gathering and analyzing information, both qualitative and quantitative
• Formulating and testing hypotheses, aligned to a team work plan
• Developing and communicating recommendations, aligned to a client deliverable schedule
• “Landing” the case with other team members, to ensure both strategic impact and client satisfaction
• Adapting to a fast-paced client services environment, with an eager and entrepreneurial mindset

Qualifications

• Minimum 2 years of strategic management consulting experience preferred, ideally at a top-tier firm, and typically at the Analyst or Associate level
• Strong problem-solving skills, including analytical and quantitative skills
• Track record of communicating complex ideas effectively, both verbally and in writing, with an emphasis on the “so what” insights and recommendations
• Ability to work in a remote team environment, with minimal supervision and strong managing up instincts
• Entrepreneurial orientation, and an obsession with getting to the right answer for the client and team
• Demonstrated skills in PowerPoint slide-building and Excel modeling/analysis
• Bachelor’s degree and/or Master’s degree preferred

Role is remote-first with some light travel as needed for client interactions.
