Managing Consultant – Supply Chain

As a Managing Consultant, you will be one of the first hires for the Supply Chain Consulting team in Wood Mackenzie’s Gurugram office. In your role, you will be responsible for execution and delivery on the projects that you are staffed. You will be tasked with developing and delivering insights drawn from our unparalleled industry data and experience. You will deliver innovative thinking supported by market research and your subject matter expertise and will leverage our software tools to help our energy clients make effective supply chain and capital project execution decisions. You will work closely with your project lead to successfully manage the project schedule.

Depending on the size of the project that you are staffed on, you may have some combination of Consultants and Senior Consultants on the team over which you would play a vital role in mentoring and performing QA/QC on the work that they perform. In some cases (e.g. on smaller projects) you may not have more junior staff below you and so we are looking for someone who can roll up their sleeves and help us get the work done regardless of the scenario. You will have opportunities to develop relationships with our US-based consultants.
