Management consultants support organisations. They identify ways to improve business performance and maximise growth. Use our career guide to find out more information about this role and how you could get a job.
As you start your career, you’ll gain experience researching, collecting data and analysing different kinds of projects. This might be through a graduate scheme, which usually has a strong training structure. With time you could get a consultancy role with more responsibility.
With experience, you might choose to specialise in a particular area or industry or progress to a more senior role such as a manager or project leader. At the top of your career path, you might have control over the whole strategic growth of a business and be a partner or director.
Some management consultants decide to go self-employed, and set up their own consultancy firm.
Your employer might offer in-house or external training opportunities, but mostly you’ll be responsible for your own career growth. It's wise to spend time learning about areas like data analytics, change management or project management. You can also work towards further professional qualifications like an MBA.
Organisations to join, such as the Institute of Consulting or the Chartered Management Institute, let you work towards certified management consultant status. They also provide professional development and networking opportunities.
