Cedar is a platform to enrich your professional life, supporting your development at every stage. We are enablers of your career, regardless of your experience. Our roles are open to individuals with varying levels of education and experience, which makes our team a diverse group of professionals who each bring unique skill sets to the table. There is a Cedar for everyone: a place where you can make strategy and innovation work.

Research Analysts: This role is ideal for students with undergraduate and master’s degrees who want to get their feet wet in the consulting world. You will be part of Cedar’s Global Research Team (GRT), supporting project teams with research and other document deliverables. Spending 18 to 24 months in the GRT will prepare you well for a future role as a management consultant.

Consultants: Our consultant pool is made up of research analysts who have grown within the firm and excelled, along with MBA graduates with at least two to three years of prior work experience. At this level, you will play a generalist consultant role across industries and practice areas, focused primarily on developing research and deliverables for the projects you are staffed on. A strong ability to multitask and work on projects in parallel is key. This is also when you will begin to gain regular client-facing exposure through your projects.

Senior Consultants: Senior consultants at Cedar typically have six to eight years of consulting experience, industry experience, or a combination of both. As a senior consultant, you will lead teams, multitask across projects and deliverables, and often handle day-to-day client management on your projects.

Engagement Managers: This role marks the start of your responsibility to provide leadership and strategic input to project teams and other parts of the firm. By this point, you will also establish yourself as an expert and thought leader in at least a few of Cedar’s industries and practice areas. Engagement managers at Cedar lead multiple project teams, manage client communication, and take part in other strategic firm-wide activities. This is also when you will build business development capabilities, so you can play an important role in growing the firm’s practice areas.

Principals: Principals own project delivery and client relationship management, and play an important role in business and practice development at Cedar. At this level, you will continue to build your standing as an expert and thought leader in at least a few of Cedar’s industries and practice areas. You will have the opportunity to work closely with the firm’s global leadership, explore ventures within and outside the consulting business, and contribute to other strategic firm-wide initiatives.

Directors and Partners: Directors and partners at Cedar form the firm’s global leadership team. They are responsible for leading and growing the firm and its practices, as well as client relationships and insight development.
