Principal Consultant – Supply Chain

• As a Principal Consultant, you will be one of the first hires for the Supply Chain Consulting team in Wood Mackenzie’s Gurugram office and will in part be responsible, with support from counterparts in the US office, for all aspects of setting up and running the location. This includes everything from initial office setup and operations to helping build a local team and ensuring the overall success of the office. The ideal candidate is an entrepreneurial self-starter with a strong background in business operations, team leadership, and analytics.
• In your role as Principal, you will be responsible for coordination with your US team leads and execution and delivery on the projects that you are staffed. You will be tasked with developing and delivering insights drawn from our unparalleled industry data and experience. You will deliver innovative thinking supported by market research and your subject matter expertise and will leverage our software tools to help our energy clients make effective supply chain and capital project execution decisions. You will work closely with your project lead to successfully manage the project schedule.
• You will play a vital role in mentoring and performing QA/QC work for the other team members within the Gurugram office.  In some cases (e.g. on smaller projects) you may not have more junior staff below you and so we are looking for someone who can roll up their sleeves and help us get the work done regardless of the scenario. You will have opportunities to develop relationships with our US-based consultants and be a role model for our more junior staff.
