About the engagement:
Apogee Global RMS is delivering a focused, strategy engagement to help a leading global executive institution sharpen its competitive position and chart a three-to-five-year growth strategy. The work spans a competitive market analysis, a three-region assessment (North America, Europe, and Asia), an organizational-structure and resource review, and a board-ready strategy delivered to institutional leadership.
The engagement is led personally by the firm’s Founder & Principal Advisor. We are seeking one capable, versatile professional to combine two supporting functions — hands-on strategy analysis and engagement program management — into a single role working directly alongside the Engagement Lead.
Role overview:
This is a dual role. Roughly three-quarters of your time is spent as an Associate Strategy Consultant — carrying a substantial share of the research, analysis, and drafting under the Lead’s direction — and the balance as the engagement’s Program Manager, owning the schedule, milestones, and coordination that keep a compressed 12-week engagement on track. You will own defined pieces of work end-to-end, with clear direction and review at each milestone.
Support stakeholder interviews during the Week 1 Phoenix onsite; capture, synthesize, and circulate findings.
•
Design, administer, and analyze the stakeholder/market survey.
•
Conduct secondary market and competitive research; build the current-state baseline.
•
Contribute to the three-region assessment and the organizational-structure review.
•
Draft findings, regional memos, and sections of the strategy document for the Lead’s review and authorship.
•
Prepare board-ready materials for the executive outbrief.
Program management:
•
Own the engagement schedule and workplan across the twelve weeks and four phases (Discover, Diagnose, Design, Deliver).
•
Track progress against the three client milestones — Current Market Review (~Week 4), Draft Strategy (~Week 10), and Final Delivery (~Week 12) — and flag risks early.
•
Maintain action logs, status reporting, and version control; manage the engagement’s document/data room.
•
Coordinate working sessions, the mid-point review (~Week 7), and onsite logistics for both Phoenix trips.
