What we offer
About our client
Our client is a boutique consulting firm founded by former McKinsey and Bain consultants who want more: real impact, entrepreneurial freedom, and the opportunity to develop pragmatic solutions that don't just sit in a drawer—but are actually implemented. Their projects drive transformation across entire companies and industries in emerging markets, particularly in Southern Africa. They develop and implement strategies that double or triple revenues, supporting clients from the initial idea through to sustainable execution.
Value Proposition
* You won't be working on analyses that never get implemented—instead, you'll drive projects with real results to completion.
* Our client lives co-creation: you present directly to clients, take ownership, and see your impact.
* You'll be part of a small, high-caliber team (ex-McKinsey, ex-Bain) working collaboratively and building something new together.
* Our client also invests directly in companies over the medium term—allowing you to combine consulting and operational roles and gain broad experience.
Your mission
What to expect
* You act as a sparring partner on equal footing for CEOs, ministries, and entrepreneurs in Africa and Europe
* You lead projects from strategy development through to implementation—all from a single source, without silos
* You do more than create PowerPoint presentations: you organize round tables, bring together consortia, support implementation, and ensure measurable impact
* You are part of a team that truly lives "ownership" and are responsible for both strategy design and execution
