You are responsible for structuring problems, formulating strategic choices, and driving implementation in organisations where strategy and operational reality must align.

You work from classic management consulting tools such as analysis, hypothesis‑driven problem solving, and change management - while integrating a customer‑driven and market‑oriented perspective.

• Is confident in dialogue with senior decision‑makers and accustomed to advising on business‑critical issues

• Has strong project and program management capabilities, and experience leading both consultants and client teams

• Has experience initiating and driving business development, both within existing engagements and in new client dialogues

• Has skills and experience in facilitating strategic workshops and co‑creation processes

• Wants to help build a consulting firm toward ambitious goals for 2030

What we offer

• The opportunity to deepen your specialization while developing within collective intelligence

• A culture where sharp minds are combined with warm hearts, we live by our values: great minds, genuine hearts, and sustainable results

• An alliance of specialist firms where you collaborate with experts across fields, and access development opportunities through Newground Academy

• A dynamic work environment where we believe in collective intelligence and effective collaboration

• Engagements spanning both large and mid‑sized companies, primarily within retail, industry, and the service sector, with Stockholm as our base
