About The Position

Future Today Strategy Group (FTSG) is seeking a Consultant or Senior Consultant to work with client teams and senior firm leadership on complex, ambiguous strategic challenges. The role involves researching emerging developments and client issues, synthesizing evidence into insights and recommendations, and producing polished presentations, memos, frameworks, and models.

Travel is approximately 20%, primarily in the United States, with possible travel to Latin America and/or Europe. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States, able to travel internationally, and hold a valid passport. FTSG does not provide employment visa sponsorship.
