Do you want to work on complex and pressing challenges—the kind that bring together curious, ambitious, and determined leaders who strive to become better every day? If this sounds like you, you’ve come to the right place.

Your Impact

In this role, you will build strong relationships with partners, associate partners, and a broad range of client-facing colleagues; help enable decision making on both tactical (e.g., effective and efficient client team formation) and strategic (e.g., longer term strategy and people pipeline / initiatives) levels; and develop and coach individuals to facilitate their professional development. Professional Development colleagues work with each consultant to build a trust-based relationship, which includes an in-depth understanding of professional aspirations, experiences, strengths, development needs, and relevant personal circumstances.
You will support other people and PD priorities as needed and collaborate across a number of NA-based PD teams.
You will manage the evaluation and feedback process, including the review and evaluation processes (e.g., semi-annual reviews, upward feedback systems, candidate diligence, post-engagement feedback) in close cooperation with the respective review committee chairs and leadership.

This role will be responsible for managing a full range of professional development and staffing activities for a group of consultants across these offices. This is done in collaboration with the local partner group and the PD team, as well as the full North American Professional Development community.
The ideal candidate will bring an understanding of the value created by professional development strategies, an ability to help develop and execute these strategies, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a passion for helping our talent grow and thrive. Applicants for this role must be located within a reasonable, daily commute from one of the Ohio, Pittsburgh, Minneapolis, Chicago offices to enable regular in-person leadership and apprenticeship.
