About The Position

Emergent Method is seeking a versatile and strategic professional to join our team as a management consultant. This individual will lead and support a variety of complex, high-visibility consulting engagements across a variety of sectors and disciplines, including strategic planning, organizational design, stakeholder engagement, economic and community development, and project management. This is a full-time position based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; remote candidates will be considered, provided they are able to travel as needed.

The ideal candidate is experienced in strategic and organizational planning with exceptional communication skills, strong project management capabilities, and the ability to manage multi-faceted initiatives from concept to execution. They should be creative, collaborative, highly organized, and committed to delivering thoughtful, high-quality work products. They should also be comfortable working with diverse stakeholders, including government officials, community partners, business leaders, and the public, while serving as a trusted advisor to clients.

At Emergent Method, we have a culture you won’t find anywhere else. We offer a flexible and fun environment where each team member can create their own success by challenging themselves, learning new skills, and contributing towards exciting projects that impact the communities we serve. We trust our teammates, believe in their talents, and celebrate their successes. We’re just as serious about developing our team and fostering a supportive, encouraging environment as we are about doing quality work for our clients.

Our team shares a vision of being singular, unequaled, and extraordinary. While being a part of the Method often means going outside of your comfort zone, leaning into discomfort, thinking outside of the box, and being part of a collaborative and dynamic team, it will ultimately lead to unparalleled personal and professional growth. You’ll catch us hanging out on the weekends, having monthly happy hours, throwing great office parties and events (both virtual and in-person), and planning a variety of after-work get-togethers because we enjoy being around each other.

Whether in our Baton Rouge headquarters, or working remote throughout the U.S., we’re constantly communicating, chatting on Slack, and staying as connected as ever — no matter where we are. We are committed to our employees the same way they are committed to us, and we trust our team to get the job done, whether in the office or working from home.

Emergent Method is a nationally recognized management consulting firm focused on developing and implementing plans, programs, and initiatives that result in transformative impact. We are focused on strengthening the skills, capacity, and resources of our clients to support them in creating unique and valuable experiences for their stakeholders.

With an uncommonly high degree of ownership in the work we do, our team thrives on solving complex challenges, delivering solutions built to last, and driving transformational growth.

We work from the inside out — fully engaged with our client teams and invested in their success. Their most pressing challenges and opportunities become our own. Our flexible, adaptable approach allows us to work seamlessly as trusted advisers, embedded team members, or both, to support client needs, using every engagement as an opportunity to deliver powerful results, together.

Our expertise travels well to all markets and benefits all sectors, allowing us to work wherever there’s a good client fit. Our consultants have significant experience working across a wide range of industries and in the private, public, and nonprofit sectors. We successfully work within the bounds of both large-scale projects that may span years as well as short-term, time-sensitive efforts.

Our integrated, interdisciplinary team of consultants brings an expansive range of skillsets and experience to power a broad scope of services and solutions. Whether you are looking to develop or implement a new strategy, brand, marketing or communication campaign, IT system, program, or a unique and innovative project, we stand ready to be your partner.
