Resource Solutions Consulting jobs

Consultants play an important role at Bridgespan, working to provide nonprofit and philanthropy clients with powerful data, analyses, and strategies that allow them to increase their impact. Consultants, as members of case teams, develop independent work plans and take ownership of significant portions of client work. To facilitate the development of strong client relationships, Consultants are often partnered with members of the client team. It is expected that Consultants will quickly assume team and client leadership responsibilities.

The Bridgespan Group invests deeply in the training and development of each Consultant. While most of the training is on the job, Consultants attend formalized training sessions throughout their career at Bridgespan, beginning with an extensive orientation program. As the Consultant progresses, there are training programs that focus on developing deeper consulting skills. Bridgespan Consultants also participate in training programs with Bain Consultants from around the world. Bridgespan helps each Consultant build a successful career: cracking tough problems, communicating solutions with clients and teams, and collaborating across levels, including with Associate Consultants and Managers.

Once fully onboarded, Consultants will follow our 50-50 staffing model, which means that they will work on two projects at a time with different teams. Consultants enter as generalists working on projects that range considerably in topic and client profile, making this ideal for candidates who are enthusiastic about exploring the full range of work we do. Consultants will also have the opportunity to be staffed on research and writing projects so that leaders everywhere can benefit from the insights Bridgespan gleans in its work. At Bridgespan, we prioritize professional growth and opportunities for all staff, offering a promising career path based on regular performance management cycles.
