Associate Strategy Consultant / Program Manager
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 27, 2026. First seen by Alion on Aug 6, 2026.
About the engagement:
Apogee Global RMS is delivering a focused, strategy engagement to help a leading global executive institution sharpen its competitive position and chart a three-to-five-year growth strategy. The work spans a competitive market analysis, a three-region assessment (North America, Europe, and Asia), an organizational-structure and resource review, and a board-ready strategy delivered to institutional leadership.
The engagement is led personally by the firm's Founder & Principal Advisor. We are seeking one capable, versatile professional to combine two supporting functions - hands-on strategy analysis and engagement program management - into a single role working directly alongside the Engagement Lead.
Role overview:
This is a dual role. Roughly three-quarters of your time is spent as an Associate Strategy Consultant - carrying a substantial share of the research, analysis, and drafting under the Lead's direction - and the balance as the engagement's Program Manager, owning the schedule, milestones, and coordination that keep a compressed 12-week engagement on track. You will own defined pieces of work end-to-end, with clear direction and review at each milestone.
Key responsibilities:
Strategy & analysis (Associate Strategy Consultant):
- Support stakeholder interviews during the Week 1 Phoenix onsite; capture, synthesize, and circulate findings.
- Design, administer, and analyze the stakeholder/market survey.
- Conduct secondary market and competitive research; build the current-state baseline.
- Contribute to the three-region assessment and the organizational-structure review.
- Draft findings, regional memos, and sections of the strategy document for the Lead's review and authorship.
- Prepare board-ready materials for the executive outbrief.
Program management:
- Own the engagement schedule and workplan across the twelve weeks and four phases (Discover, Diagnose, Design, Deliver).
- Track progress against the three client milestones - Current Market Review (~Week 4), Draft Strategy (~Week 10), and Final Delivery (~Week 12) - and flag risks early.
- Maintain action logs, status reporting, and version control; manage the engagement's document/data room.
- Coordinate working sessions, the mid-point review (~Week 7), and onsite logistics for both Phoenix trips.
Requirements
Required qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree and 2-4 years (or equivalent) in strategy, management consulting, corporate strategy, or a comparable analytical role.
- Strong research, quantitative analysis, and business-writing skills; able to produce first drafts with light direction.
- Demonstrated project or program coordination - scheduling, milestone tracking, and stakeholder communication.
- Poised and credible in client-facing and executive settings.
- Highly organized, reliable, and self-directed under a compressed timeline.
- Proficiency with standard analysis and productivity tools (spreadsheets, slides, documents).
- Availability of ~15-20 hours per week for the full 12 weeks, and ability to travel to Phoenix twice.
Preferred qualifications:
- Exposure to higher education or executive global-market strategy, or go-to-market work.
- Familiarity with strategy frameworks and organizational assessment.
- Survey design and analysis experience.
- Formal project-management training (e.g., PMP or coursework) is a plus but not required.
