The Digital Practice is now taking shape. The goal of the practice is simple: help our clients with end-to-end digital transformations from strategy formulation to execution. Through a unique understanding of the economics of the industries we serve, the practice aims to help clients adjust their strategies and technology capabilities, develop talent, alter their operating models, manage risk, and become faster and more agile in the digital age. As one of the fastest-growing areas of the firm, the practice presents an opportunity for consultants at all levels to build and shape the future of the practice – by further building on existing platforms and developing new capabilities.
Principals serve as the primary contact point for senior client executives and our consultants employed on client engagements. The Principal position offers excellent career and growth opportunities for talented, highly motivated professionals with significant prior experience.

Project leadership spans strategic thought leadership and insight generation, directing and overseeing all the team’s day-to-day work efforts, regularly interacting with the client, and helping to shape the client agenda.

-Developing the capabilities of our more junior consultants and gaining their followership.
-Supporting high-impact thought leadership (e.g. articles in leading publications, industry talks, white papers, etc.) to complement the firm’s existing areas of expertise, push the boundaries of our collective knowledge, and enhance the firm’s brand.
-Representing the firm as a relationship manager and a leader, building strong networks, successfully executing client engagements, and generating demand for new opportunities based on expertise/track record.
