We expect a lot from our consultants and in return we offer accelerated career progression. Our consultants are worked across a range of functional disciplines and industries, allowing them to develop a wide-ranging skillset applicable to a variety of industries. Furthermore, our mix of opportunity identification and implementation means our consultants develop a holistic skillset that carries them further and faster should they decide to leave the consulting industry after some time.

At Momentum, we have five levels of consultants and career progression is based purely on performance and not tenure:

Business Analyst. BAs contribute to day-to-day problem solving, independently deliver high quality results for assigned tasks and must communicate these results  effectively. They are always willing to go the extra mile for clients and are adaptable to different styles of a team’s members and leaders.

Associate Consultant. ACs are expected to independently lead discrete work streams, generate value-adding business insights and develop realistic and/or actionable business initiatives.

Consultant. Consultants are accountable for a team’s activities and results. They provide intellectual leadership to the team by structuring and prioritising critical questions, designing a realistic approach, and providing the drive towards meaningful results and/or actionable insights for the client. They are instrumental in promoting team members’ career growth and provide an enthusiastic, trusting, and effective team-atmosphere.

Manager. Managers are the linchpins of project teams and may find themselves leading multiple small engagements or one larger engagement. Managers must be able to deliver results in increasingly complex and difficult environments, as well as being an inclusive team leader who is accessible to all team members and is continuously build team and firm-wide morale.

Associate Director. ADs show a sustained ability to implement value creating solutions, including identifying the key issues facing the client and structuring optimum approaches for resolution, recognising the client’s needs and situation. They lead by example and are always inclusive.
