• Apply qualitative and quantitative analysis with a high degree of autonomy, 

• Develop compelling, well-structured storyboards and presentation materials that clearly support the client narrative, 

• Interact directly with clients throughout engagements, including facilitating and leading parts of client meetings, 

• Present conclusions and recommendations through clear, creative, and impactful deliverables, 

• Collaborate with and learn from a highly supportive team of peers and senior leaders. 

You are a graduate of a top-tier engineering or business school, with initial experience (final-year internship or first full-time role) in a strategy consulting firm.

You are able to quickly build expertise in new subject areas and demonstrate a strong interest and first expertise in data and AI-related topics. 

You are a team player with an open mind, strong curiosity, and solid analytical skills. You are eager to join a motivating professional environment where you will share our core values of excellence, entrepreneurship, innovation, knowledge sharing, collaboration, and work-life balance. 

Fluency in French and in English are required.
