The disciplinary focus of this role is organization design and effectiveness.

2) Business development 

• You will focus time towards developing and growing our North America business through brand awareness campaigns, developing and sustaining relationships and developing thought leadership 
• You will contribute to proposals and bids with expert insight 

3) Practice management 

• You will take responsibility for mentoring one or more of our Consultants or Senior Consultants, supporting their development as well as managing performance conversations with confidence and clarity.
