About Newton
At Newton, we are a consultancy that helps organizations realize their strategic ambitions, translating them into real-world outcomes. Specializing in the energy, defense, consumer and public sectors, we need exceptional professionals to create bold, fresh thinking.
About the Role
As a Consultant, you'll work on exciting projects and challenges in a supportive team environment. Right from the start, we're here to help you become an outstanding consultant by harnessing your skills and empowering you to make real change. You'll make a meaningful impact, going as deep as it takes to help our clients tackle some of the most complex challenges across the Consumer & Retail and Energy/Infrastructure sectors. You'll work throughout North America, partnering with exceptional people and clients from a diverse range of backgrounds. You'll collaborate with talented professionals both inside and outside our organization. Together, you'll analyze data, find important opportunities, and create and implement unexpected but effective solutions.
These first few years look very similar for all Consultants and are crucial for building the fundamentals of consulting and the Newton methodology. All our Consultants need to possess this core Operations Consultant skillset to thrive, regardless of which career pathway you pursue while at Newton.
On a day-to-day basis, our Operations consultants work hand-in-hand with a variety of clients, mapping processes and analyzing data to identify opportunities for operational improvement. They then plan and implement the changes needed to realize value and deliver real, sustainable change — working on-site, from the shop floor to the boardroom, and everywhere in between. Once they spot the best opportunities for improvement, they dive right in, creating and implementing project plans that continue to deliver value long after we've gone. Every project and every client is different, but our model of work doesn't change.
