Description

Do you want to do work that matters, alongside supportive leaders who will help you grow faster than you ever thought possible? Are you a creative problem-solver who is energized by challenges? You've come to the right place.

YOUR IMPACT

You will work in teams of typically 3-5 consultants, playing an active role in all aspects of client engagement.

This includes gathering and analyzing information, formulating and testing hypotheses, and developing and communicating recommendations. You will present results to client management and implement recommendations in collaboration with client team members.

You will receive exceptional training as well as frequent coaching and mentoring from colleagues on their teams. You will also receive close guidance and support from your local office or practice in the selection of client projects, helping you to develop your skills and build your network.

You will work in our Tokyo or Osaka office as part of the Global Energy & Materials (GEM) practice in the Asia Pacific region.

The mission of this practice is to deliver holistic impact to our clients as their high-level thought partner. You will collaborate with colleagues to help leading organizations solve their most complex problems. Your role as an associate will be to help clients in both consumer and business-to-business environments on a wide variety of topics.
