Company Description

We have over 1,900 employees in 30 locations, serving customers in nearly 80 countries. Together, we inspire and innovate the markets we serve – providing invaluable intelligence to help our customers overcome the toughest challenges, and make strategic decisions that will, ultimately, accelerate the world’s transition to a more sustainable future.

With ambitious growth goals over the next four to five years, WoodMac Supply Chain Consulting is an exciting place to build a career. With a very strong pipeline over the foreseeable future, our intent is to build out our team with folks capable supporting and driving execution of our upcoming client engagements while helping make our revenue goals achievable. These people will bring strong analytical and communication skills to the table and will have ambition to lead projects and manage client relationships in the future.
In your role as Senior Consultant, 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 Consultants on the team over which you may 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 clients and establish yourself as a trusted advisor
