Practice Overview
Our Middle East Government and Public Institutions - Defense and Security Team is seeking extraordinary individuals with deep expertise to support our expansion in this sector. We are specifically looking for candidates with solid strategy consulting experience at manager level. Experience could be from working at related institutions or supporting them in consulting capacity.

The Role And Responsibilities

Experienced professionals bring us the know-how to make lasting change for our clients and our company. We are not typical 'management' consultants. We provide industry- and discipline-specific knowledge and expertise, which amplifies our impact and helps us shape the future for our clients.

ASSOCIATE (Junior Manager): Break down complex problems into discrete tasks, identifying the key aspects of a problem and directing the focus of junior consultants to those elements. You will effectively plan and execute analysis as well as identify the core issues in complex analyses in order to be able to craft suitable recommendations.

ENGAGEMENT MANAGERS are the on-scene leaders who run our projects day to day. You will lead the team through an efficient and effective problem-solving process from initial thought process through convergence on a solution.

Your Attributes and Experience

• At least 4-8 years of relevant experience, ideally with a top-tier strategy consulting firm (or similar organization).
• In-depth knowledge of topics specifically within the Government and Public Institution field, with particular focus on Defense and Security.
• Good understanding of the startup ecosystem and players involved in this space across markets.
• Track record of managing teams and clients, and delivering against tight deadlines in fast-paced and demanding environments.
• Outstanding communication skills; comfort in presenting to senior executives, both internally and among clients.
• A strong background in strategic problem solving with demonstrable analytical skills.
• Have an aptitude for analytical work, like sniffing out clues in massive data sets or hunting down the key issues in a hugely complex challenge.
• An undergraduate or advanced degree from a top academic program.
• Willingness to travel.
