We are looking for a mix of the following capabilities:
Intellectual power and creativity
We need individuals with strong analytical capabilities, to solve complex and non-recurrent problems and going beyond the standard action path;
Energy and professionalism
We deal with successful organizations, senior executives who are
experienced and brilliant in their fields and significant financial
stakes which create tension. What we build is rationality and consensus
for action despite constraints, conflicting perspectives and strong
emotional involvement.
Communication and conviction capabilities
We interact with senior executives as well as all levels of client organizations. We need to communicate in a crisp, clear and appropriate manner to every part of the organization in order to convince and help our clients undertake challenging moves. Our work is mostly international; speaking three European languages is a must
Realism, pragmatism and experience
The best solutions can only be implemented if people and organizations move. Dealing with their dynamic is a key to obtaining results. Constant trade-offs have to be made between significance and rapidity of change. The alliance of experience and analytic skills is the key of our success.
Humility
We are only consultants working for clients who have been in business for years and already tried many solutions.
No one possesses all these capabilities to the same extent. We
look for individuals who are highly talented in one or two dimensions,
have no failures and can learn in the other ones, and have a strong
ability to work efficiently in teams.
We expect you to come from an outstanding graduate or post graduate
school, be it in business, economics, science, engineering or other.
When you already have professional experience, it should demonstrate
that you have been successful, that you have created value for your
organization and its clients.
We recruit at all levels. We look for:
Consultants, coming from undergraduate universities and "grandes écoles" (Polytechnique, Centrale, HEC, Saint Gallen, Oxford, Cambridge, Louvain, Bocconi, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University, ...)
Senior Consultants, either with an MBA degree (Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Wharton, INSEAD, IMD,.) and a few years of successful professional experience, or with several years of successful experience in management positions.
Experienced and successful consultants coming from other leading strategy consulting firms, who have the potential to join us directly as project managers or partners.
