Senior Strategy Consultant
Are you an experienced Management Consultant with a passion for shaping strategy across the Defence sector? We're looking for an accomplished Senior Strategy Consultant to join a high-performing consultancy delivering complex transformation and strategic advisory services.
This is an opportunity to work with senior Defence stakeholders, influence strategic decision-making, and deliver meaningful outcomes across nationally significant programmes.
What You'll Be Doing
- Deliver strategic consulting engagements for Defence and National Security clients.
- Build trusted relationships with senior client stakeholders and act as a strategic advisor.
- Analyse complex challenges and develop evidence-based recommendations.
- Present insights and executive-level briefings to senior decision-makers.
- Facilitate workshops, strategy sessions, and stakeholder engagement activities.
- Work across multiple stakeholder groups to align priorities and drive successful outcomes.
- Take ownership of project delivery, remaining hands-on throughout the engagement rather than simply managing delivery teams.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
