Our Roles

Business Analyst

Our analyst program offers you the opportunity to experience management consulting in a uniquely collegial way. We seek talented problem solvers who are ready to contribute immediately to the client team. Typical responsibilities include developing models, performing complex analyses, and working on both on- and offsite research. Most business analysts join us immediately after graduating with undergraduate degrees in fields such as business, engineering, and liberal arts. Others join after gaining industry experience, studying abroad, or pursuing graduate work in non-business areas. Those with more experience should apply for our senior business analyst role. 

Summer Associate

Kearney’s summer consultant program offers you the opportunity to experience management consulting in a uniquely collegial way. Our summer program is eight to 10 weeks and begins with an orientation to your local office, followed by training where you will learn the necessary tools and methodologies required for success in management consulting. You will be assigned a mentor who will stay actively engaged with your project manager, and together they will offer continuous support and guidance throughout the program. As a summer associate, together with your project team, you will develop models, perform complex analyses, and work on data-gathering assignments, both at client sites and in the office. Typically, summer associates travel while on assignment to work side-by-side with our clients and client teams.

Associate

Our associate position offers unique experiences in a distinctive and entrepreneurial atmosphere. We drive immediate impact and help our clients achieve transformational advantages. We seek candidates who are ready to immediately contribute to client teams. Typical responsibilities include gathering and analyzing data, conducting competitor assessment studies, generating proposals, leading teams, and recommending and implementing co-created actions alongside the client. We nurture your entrepreneurial spirit and are committed to providing you with the hands-on experience that makes a lifelong impact. 

Manager

Our managers know how to inspire and excite their talented, driven, and creative colleagues. They lead the day-to-day direction of client projects. Managers develop and champion consulting teams, ensuring the delivery of impeccable, superior work to clients. They stick to advanced budgets and schedules while maintaining high utilization rates. Managers come to us equipped with honed expertise in leading complex teams. 

Principal

Our principals manage exciting, complex projects. Their experience and judgment are essential to our clients. Our principals’ expertise drives new business while their hard-won results inspire existing clients. Engagement success is determined by their decisions—budget, schedule execution, quality assurance compliance, and the achievement of our growth and revenue objectives. We’re actively seeking candidates with extensive experience as an engagement manager or as senior staff on complex multimillion dollar consulting assignments.

Partner

Our partners are the most trusted advisor to their clients and thought leaders in their areas. They work to develop client relationships and to deliver on client work.  Partners are responsible for developing their teams and preparing the next generation of leaders at the firm. Everyone from business analyst through principal spends time day-to-day with the partners on their team.
