Our clients benefit from your experience, which powers our firm to relentlessly pursue the creation of lasting public value and social impact in some of the world’s toughest situations.
We are constantly looking for some of the finest international development and management consulting minds to join our professional network.
Typically we are looking for a very particular type of expert:
- Professional career advisor (not someone working between staff jobs)
- Deep technical expertise in one or more practice areas in international development, but also broad working knowledge of the institutional, social and political dynamics of government and aid.
- Over 10 years of relevant HQ or field experience with a focus on advising, mentoring and coaching senior public sector leaders; capacity development program design and management; programme reviews, managing results and M&E.
- Clear regional specialisation in UN HQ duty stations, East Africa, North Africa, Middle East or South Asia
- Ideally a Masters in a related discipline from a leading university; such as Management/Business Administration, International Relations, Development Studies, Public Administration or another relevant discipline. However, we also accept deep practical knowledge and experience instead of a university degree especially in the fields, for example, of new cutting edge technologies or tolerance for harsh environments.
We also look for professionals with very high standards in personal presentation and communication.

- Ability to work alone or integrate into small expert teams, excellent interpersonal skills and client focus
- You are a client-oriented professional with the capacity to anticipate all client needs and have the ability to create lasting change in a political and dynamic work environment. You are able to grasp that our engagements have many external and internal clients to satisfy
- Exhibits a preference and high level of comfort with virtual working practices, technology and management. A successful consultant must be able to successfully navigate the virtual environment and actively seek out information that is critical to both personal and team success
- Excellent visual and graphic communications skills are essential to your success. You are expected to be able to distil vast amounts of data and information into clear and concise advice for busy public sector leaders
- Your peers should consider you a natural leader, charismatic and with a good sense of humour and self-awareness

- Expert command of office technology including Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint and GSuite products is essential to your success
- Strong sense of adventure demonstrated by a willingness to travel to and work in challenging environments that are commonly found in fragile and conflict-affected environments.
