A strategy consultant provides advice to businesses that are trying to achieve a particular goal. Unlike management consulting, which looks at the bigger picture, strategy consulting focuses on specific challenges - such as budgeting or production. Experienced professionals in this field are highly sought after and recruitment agencies will work with a variety of clients, ranging from startups to established corporations.
Whether you choose to partner with a local high street agency or an industry specialist, recruiters for this type of role will look to identify candidates with a track record of providing strategic solutions. Analytical, communication and leadership skills are also in demand. Strategy consulting jobs tend to be on an interim or project basis, although permanent opportunities are sometimes available.
