About the Company

OC&C Strategy Consultants is an
international boutique strategy consulting firm with 14
offices worldwide. Our expertise is focused on a few core
specialisms, allowing us to deliver results that get noticed.

Our people are agile thinkers, cut from different cloths but
united by a relentless curiosity and desire to solve problems.

To us, each client challenge is unique, so boilerplate
solutions don’t cut it. We interrogate a problem until we find its
root. Then we develop a powerful way to solve it. We don’t duck the
difficult answers, we give clients the strategies they need

Consumer Goods

OC&C Strategy Consultants has a leading Consumer Goods
practice, working with clients across a wide variety of sub-sectors with
different dynamics, including Food &
Beverage, Beauty, Consumer Health, Agriculture &
Ingredients, BWS, and Pet Care.

These sectors are characterised by rapidly evolving consumer
preferences, increasing channel complexity, and intense competitive
dynamics. We work with clients on genuinely challenging strategic
questions across a broad mix of strategy and transaction-related
engagements. We therefore seek individuals of the highest intellectual
calibre who thrive on solving complex, ambiguous problems with original
thinking. While prior Consumer Goods experience is valuable, we can rapidly
help you deepen your sector expertise.

This is a collaborative, people-centric team, and culture is
a key part of how we work together.

This role primarily involves managing OC&C project teams
of 3-6 consultants. Although you will contribute to business development, your
primary focus will be supporting Partners and driving repeat business through
delivery excellence.
