Consulting Job Opportunities

You have probably heard something about one of the major consulting firms, such as McKinsey & Company, the Boston Consulting Group, Bain & Company, A.T. Kearney or Booz Allen Hamilton.  But what do you really know about the actual jobs of the consultants at these firms?  And what if you are looking for something other than the typical management consulting, such as lean manufacturing consulting, counterterrorism consulting or legal nurse consulting?  Consulting jobs offer many different options and an extremely diverse environment, which is probably one of the reasons that consulting is such a highly desired career!

To explain consulting in as few words as possible, consulting firms are hired by companies who need help.  Consultants offer advisory services and implementation to their clients.  You will find that most firms offer more than one service to their clients, and they typically work in a variety of different industries.  Here are some of the different types of consulting jobs available:

Strategy Consulting
Strategy consultants work with upper-level management on assignments such as developing new business strategies, identifying new markets and opportunities for growth, resource allocation, pricing and profit optimization, financial analysis, and other “big picture” tasks.  Strategy consulting jobs are considered one of the most prestigious types of consulting.

Operations Consulting
Very similar to strategy consulting is operations consulting, which deals with internal business processes.  Merger integration, product development, supply chain management, customer relationship management, and organizational restructuring are some of the many different aspects involved in operations consulting jobs.

Technology Consulting
IBM Global Services and Capgemeni are two of the many existing technology consulting firms, along with larger management consulting firms which have their own IT divisions, such as Accenture and Booz Allen Hamilton.  Technology consultants work on a variety of different tasks relating to computers and information technology, such as building a web site, implementing a new computer system and working on the technology side of supply chain management.

Human Resources Consulting
Compensation, retirement plans, health and benefits, talent management and employee issues regarding mergers and acquisitions are some of the services provided by human resources consultants.  When looking for consulting jobs that are specific to HR, it is a good idea to investigate some major human resources consulting firms such as Mercer, Hewitt Associates, Watson Wyatt Worldwide, and Towers Perrin.

Healthcare Consulting
Many of the major management consulting firms offer services in the healthcare industry, as wells as many smaller firms which only offer healthcare consulting.  In addition to hospitals and healthcare providers, healthcare clients also include pharmaceutical and medical product companies.  These clients need assistance in all the basic areas of business, such as strategy, finance, information technology, marketing and human resources.  Because healthcare is one of the fastest growing industries, it is a great opportunity for consulting jobs.

Manufacturing Consulting
Because manufacturing is such a specialized industry, consulting firms such as Gembutsu Consulting are devoted entirely to lean manufacturing consulting.  These consultants focus on lean manufacturing, which is the optimal way of producing goods derived from the philosophy used in Toyota manufacturing plants, called Toyota Production System (TPS).  Manufacturing consulting jobs are also available at the larger management consulting firms.

Counterterrorism and Intelligence Consulting
Booz Allen Hamilton is the leading consulting firm providing services to the US government, so they offer opportunities for counterterrorism consulting jobs.  Booz Allen has a great deal of experience in National Security, and they provide services to industries in Defense, Intelligence, and International Military Solutions.  Accenture also offers services in the Aerospace and Defense industry, and McKinsey works with Defense and Security in the public sector.

Legal Nurse Consulting
Legal nurse consulting (LNC) is for registered nurses who use their healthcare expertise for medical-related cases in the legal world.  In a way, legal nurse consultants “bridge the gap” between attorneys and medical record terminology.  Many legal nurse consultants practice independently and are hired directly by attorneys in their area.  Legal nurse consulting jobs are also available in the public and private sector in different government agencies and corporations.

It is important to note that there is a great deal of overlap among these different types of consulting jobs.  For example, a team of consultants may be hired to develop a new business plan (strategy), implement marketing and supply chain procedures to match that new plan (operations) and integrate these new processes into the company’s computer system (technology).  Consulting is a great career that combines business knowledge with helping others, whether it be with large corporations, national security or the healthcare industry.
