Description

As an Associate at Kearney , you will be a key contributor to the growth and development of our Strategic Operations (SOP) practice as we offer honest advice and practical guidance to our clients.

Who you are

After nearly 100 years, we know this business is fundamentally about making connections-between facts, figures, insights, strategies, tools, technologies, and above all, people. That's why we look for collaborative, insightful, and inquisitive problem-solvers who don't accept the first thing in front of them and who are always unapologetically themselves.

We want to hear from you if you are:

• Insightful, inquisitive, collaborative
• Possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Have functional experience in one or more of the following areas:
  • Supply Chain
  • Manufacturing
    • Strategy
    • Quality
    • Operations / Production
  • Maintenance
  • Digital Manufacturing
  • Engineering / Continuous Improvement
  • Shop floor experience
• Are located near or willing to relocate to Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, New York, Toronto, or Washington, DC.
• Fluent in English.
• MBA degree preferred with 5-10 years of professional experience. Other relevant advanced degrees will also be considered.
• Experience working as a Management Consultant strongly preferred.

What we can offer you

Every day, our people work to be the difference for our clients, our communities, and our colleagues. Helping them make an impact, they are sustained by a competitive remuneration package plus comprehensive benefits and perks, including but not limited to:

• Generous retirement/pension savings contributions
• Comprehensive medical insurance for employees and immediate family
• Gym membership discounts
• Non-partner equity-based awards (for consulting managers and above)
• Structured and on-the-job learning and development opportunities

Associate Base Salary (post MBA) - $188,000 - $194,000 : Candidates without an MBA will also be considered for the role. Such candidates will be eligible for a base salary of $157,000. Under exceptional circumstances, candidates without an MBA may be considered for a base salary of $188,000. However, it is important to note that at Kearney, it is not typical for an individual to be hired at the top of the range for their role. Individual salaries within each range are determined through a wide variety of factors including but not limited to education, experience, office location, knowledge, and skills. Kearney reviews compensation regularly and may adjust base salaries to reflect market competitiveness. In addition to salary, individuals may be eligible for a discretionary performance bonus. Our full suite of benefits includes paid time off, paid sick time off, 401(k) match and profit sharing, medical, dental and vision coverage, healthcare concierge, backup child/adult care, annual employer HSA contribution, home office stipend, subsidized Wellhub and annual wellness program, and leaves of absence when needed to support employees' physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
