What you’ll do

Consulting Directors are expected to divide most of their time between securing sales and leading teams in delivering projects. They are also expected to spend about 30% of their time managing and developing the STL business operations through internal and market initiatives. More specifically, they will:

  • Oversee and contribute to the entire project process. This will include targeting prospects, initiating conversations, and formulating proposals to the project execution and final deliverable.
  • Oversee 4-7 projects concurrently with teams of 3-5 consultants.
  • Develop opportunities and win work from existing clients and new prospects in conjunction with other directors, senior consultants and STL’s account managers.
  • Act as a mentor for senior consultants and junior consultants, overseeing their development including managing review processes and making recommendations around recruitment, development and promotion of talent.
  • Identify areas of policy improvement within the business and lead in securing support for and implementing proposals.
  • Identify strategic initiatives for STL, set out proposals for pursuing them to the board and champion them through to successful implementation among the wider team.
  • Contribute actively in weekly management meetings and monthly board meetings, sharing insight, shaping initiatives and completing agreed actions.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
