We recruit people at all stages of their careers, with your starting level determined by the experience and skills you bring to the table. We look for high levels of intellectual curiosity, strong analytical and creative abilities, excellent communication and leadership skills, and an enthusiastic commitment to the entrepreneurial and participative culture that is the hallmark of MSC Group.
We have no 'back room', no easy option for those lacking talent or drive. Everyone is on the front line, in a genuine meritocracy where the atmosphere is informal but focused, collaborative yet competitive enough to bring out the best in all of our consultants. Our people are constantly learning, constantly stretched and constantly stimulated by new challenges. You can expect early responsibility and as much progress as you can handle.
If you think you've got what it takes, go to Apply, and we’ll take it from there.
Undergraduate Intern
Join MSC Group for a two month summer internship and we’ll give you the same responsibilities as an Associate Consultant, assigning you to a project straight away. You could be working in any sector facing any kind of challenge: grappling with growth, advising on a merger or acquisition, developing corporate strategy or planning major organizational change. Projects tend to be fast, furious and brief, so you'll rapidly gain insight across a range of challenges and business problems.
Over the 2 months you will work on two projects, giving you occasion to meet more of our consultants and try your hand at a broader range of tasks. Whether conducting field research or analysing data, you will be able to add your own insights and value to the team. There will also be opportunities to socialize and network outside of your project team both with the other interns and the broader company as a whole.
MBA Intern

You’ll cement your current knowledge base and gain insight across a range of challenges and business problems.

Associate Consultant
Join MSC Group as a graduate and we’ll make you an Associate Consultant, and assign you to a project team straightaway. It will be small – way smaller than the industry average - so you'll have to pull your weight from day one. You could be working in any sector facing any kind of challenge: grappling with growth, advising on a merger or acquisition, developing corporate strategy or planning major organisational change. You'll be working directly with colleagues and clients at all levels, and will be expected to contribute fully: brainstorming, discussing analyses, making recommendations, building relationships.
Projects tend to be fast, furious and brief, so you'll rapidly gain experience across a wide range of challenges and sectors. Learning the ropes takes time, but progress depends entirely on personal performance. At MSC Group, insight and creativity trump tenure - meritocracy isn't just a word; it's how we make our living.
Consultant
MSC Group’s Consultants begin as either successful Associate Consultants, typically with a proven two to three year track record, business school graduates, or recruits from industry with several years' experience.
Consultants are well-rounded professionals capable of taking responsibility for, and contributing significantly to, major aspects of projects. Within the MSC Group team, you are the Manager's key support – and sometime sparring partner – as well as a confidant and coach for more junior colleagues. As a consultant, you take the initiative to support and guide the team towards workable solutions, and you will need to be adept at recognising and addressing their concerns, as well as building strong, mature and mutually beneficial relationships.
At MSC Group, formal learning never ends. Every Consultant goes through a training program whose curriculum encompasses functional areas such as marketing, finance and economics, on top of professional and interpersonal skills such as presentation and influencing. Experienced hires take an extensive course in consulting skills.
Manager
If you perform well as a Consultant, or are taken on as an experienced hire with the appropriate background and skills set, you will be made a Manager. As such, you will be at the very core of the firm, taking the lead on projects and responsibility for the teams that deliver them.
As a day-to-day client-leader, it is arguably your single most important responsibility to develop strong, professional client relations. It is crucial that clients regard you as their trusted adviser and a thought leader in their sector. At the same time, MSC Group Partners will be putting their trust in you as a project delivery expert, and will seek your full support in pursuing their commercial goals. Your team members, meanwhile, will view you as their prime source of professional and personal guidance. Being a Manager is a tall order.
Our international training programmes are combined with highly personalized sessions to develop your consulting and leadership skills.
Associate Partner
Experienced Managers may become Associate Partners, en route to election as a full Partner.
Every Associate Partner is a top consultant, albeit one whose skills will continue to develop. During your tenure, your fields of expertise will become more specialised and clearly defined as you hone your personal profile and core skills. You will work directly with clients at the most senior levels, building close professional – and typically also personal – relationships, addressing their concerns in the broadest sense, capitalising on commercial opportunities.
You will also be expected to push content-leadership and play your part in growing our international profile: helping build the firm's base of intellectual property by contributing to high quality internal and external publications.
With partnership in prospect, Associate Partners are systematically coached, mentored and trained in specific areas identified as key to their particular strengths and capabilities. The only way is up: we are firmly committed to helping you find your path.
Partner
A Partner is first and foremost a confidant and adviser to our clients. You will develop and maintain relationships built on respect and trust with leaders across the full spectrum of the world's industries and institutions.
As an MSC Group Partner, you will by definition be an accomplished, all-round consultant and Manager, constantly deploying and developing your expertise through intense dialogue with clients and by being closely involved with your teams' development of solutions.
We regard partnership as just one more stage in an ongoing process of development that will see you continue to improve your skills - as an adviser, coach and entrepreneur.
