Consultant

As a Consultant you will have responsibility for a specific project and will be the primary contact with clients on your team.

Consultants have a track record of leading client teams that achieve significant results and your teams will have a major impact on the success of the overall engagement.

Senior Consultant

As you progress to the role of Senior Consultant, your role in the engagements you take on will become larger and more complex. A Principal or Partner will help you set the direction and strategy for the engagement, but you will be responsible for the execution. Consultants will be working full time on your team, and you will have the responsibility of ensuring that they are successful in their client engagements and are being developed to their full potential.

Lead Consultant

Lead Consultants are responsible for delivering some of our largest and most complex projects and will often lead a team of Consultants and Senior Consultants across many sites. At this stage of your career you will normally be working with more than one client at any time. As you approach your transition to Principal you will start to take on responsibility for developing the Stroud business.

By this stage of your career you will have developed an extensive network of people (clients, colleagues, alumni) who value the thought leadership you can provide. These relationships will form the basis of your client work and you will be a significant contributor to the growth of Stroud. You will guide project teams to deliver exceptional results for the client and your engagements will have migrated from tactical opportunities to more strategic long term issues. You will play an extensive role in all areas of Stroud's business development.
