About The Position

Innosight is a global strategy consulting firm focused on helping leading organizations design and create the future. We work with them to develop growth strategies, build innovation capabilities, and accelerate new growth initiatives. As a member of the Innosight team, you’ll have the opportunity to work with leaders at Global 1000 companies to tackle some of the most interesting challenges in business. • We are the leading practitioners of disruptive innovation, building on the work of our co-founder, Harvard Business School professor Clay Christensen. • Because we focus on growth strategy and innovation, we bring unique expertise and authority to the challenges our clients face: Where is our next big opportunity, and what is our strategy to get there? How do we build an organization that is innovative and future focused? How do we disrupt ourselves before others do? • Our values – including humility, collaboration, transparency, and intellectual curiosity – guide our work with clients, with each other, and our commitment to enabling innovation in organizations. • Our work environment emphasizes the exchange of ideas, continuous learning, and collaboration. And our smaller team structure offers exposure to senior-level executives early in your consulting career. Innosight is a strategy and operations consulting firm that helps leaders and private equity investors cut through complexity to improve performance and unlock value. We support private equity deal teams and portfolio companies through Operational Due Diligence and value creation, and we partner with corporate and public-sector clients on operational transformation, profitability improvement, and growth strategy. Our teams work on CEO-level priorities translating strategy into practical, operationally-grounded plans that deliver measurable results (e.g., margin/EBITDA lift, working capital reduction, SG&A efficiency, and complexity reduction). Innosight’s WP&C practice was voted Best Small Strategy Firm to work for by Consulting Magazine (2019, 2024 and 2025). As a Senior Associate, you will own major workstreams and help teams solve ambiguous problems with rigorous, hands-on analysis, then turn that analysis into clear, executive-ready recommendations. You will work closely with Managers/Partners and often serve as the day-to-day client lead for your workstream, helping keep teams aligned, hypotheses sharp, and deliverables high-quality. Senior Associates are expected to serve as the day-to-day workstream lead: structuring the work, driving the analysis, guiding junior teammates, and ensuring the recommendations are clear and actionable for senior clients.
