Leap Consulting Group•Elmwood Park, NJ

About The Position

LEAP Consulting Group is a growing technology and management consulting firm based in Northern New Jersey. We help organizations solve complex business and technology challenges, and we believe the best way to develop future leaders is through broad exposure, meaningful responsibility, and close mentorship. As a Business Associate, you’ll work side-by-side with the Managing Partner and become involved in nearly every aspect of the business—from operations and recruiting to client delivery, sales, AI, finance, conferences, and special projects. No two weeks are the same. One day you might be researching an emerging AI platform, preparing for an executive meeting, or helping develop a client proposal. Another day you could be coordinating a recruiting initiative, supporting a client engagement, traveling to an industry conference, or helping set up our booth before the exhibit hall opens. We believe no task is beneath anyone if it helps move the business forward. If you’re looking for a predictable routine, this probably isn’t the right role. If you have an MBA, a JD, are in the later stages of your career, or don't live a comfortable commuting distance from our offices, this role is most likely not for you. If you’re looking to accelerate your career, gain an unusually broad business education, and work alongside experienced leaders, and live reasonably close commuting distance to Elmwood Park, NJ, we’d love to meet you.
