Senior Consultant | Growth Strategy

📍 London (1-2 days per week in the office)

Want to move from “doing the work” to owning the room? If you’re a strategy-leaning consultant who loves cracking messy problems and you’re ready to step up into client leadership fast, this could be your move.

🏢The Company

Our client is a boutique strategy partner to global consumer goods businesses. They’re known for partnering closely with leadership teams to create strategic clarity, consensus, and commitment, then helping teams actually deliver it. Client mix includes FMCG and adjacent sectors (including tobacco and drinks). If that’s not for you, this won’t be the right role, and that’s okay.

• Fast progression: they want a Senior Consultant who can step into Manager-level responsibility quickly (not “in a few years”). 🚀
• Real client exposure: you’ll be trusted to lead work streams, run sessions, and build relationships, not just polish slides.
• Growth journey: profitable, scaling up, formalising the team, and investing in future growth (you’ll help shape it).

📆 The Day-to-Day

You’ll blend sharp thinking with confident delivery:

• Synthesise data + research into clear, decision-ready insight
• Build interview guides, lead interviews, and craft crisp write-ups
• Develop frameworks and storylines that land with senior stakeholders
• Produce high-quality decks (charts, narrative, recommendations)
• Support and increasingly lead workshops / stakeholder sessions
• Contribute to proposals and business growth alongside delivery

🎯 The Ideal Candidate

• 3+ years in FMCG and/or marketing/strategy consulting
• Strong consulting fundamentals (analysis, research, interviewing, charting, storytelling)
• Confidence facilitating and leading client conversations (or very close to it)
• A pragmatic, insight-led style (not overly “creative brand strategy”)
• Enjoyment of consulting pace + variety… and ambition to grow fast
