➔ Description de la mission

Our ambition

By 2026, our ambition is to become the reference partner for private and public actors seeking to adapt agricultural and food value chains — and the territories that support them — to climate, environmental and economic risks.

We aim to be the first call for executive teams when they face strategic decisions to secure their value chains, margins and long-term viability under increasing constraints (climate, water, yields, regulation, costs).

To achieve this, we are strengthening our consulting team with senior consultants able to lead projects end-to-end, build trusted client relationships and grow both business and people.


Role

Senior Consultant

You are fully accountable for end-to-end project delivery, client relationships, and commercial development on your scope.

You operate at the intersection of scientific expertise, data, strategy and business execution, and act as a key bridge between technical inputs and executive decision-making.


Key mission

  • Lead consulting projects from scoping to delivery, ensuring quality, timelines and margins.

  • Actively develop client relationships, identify upsell opportunities and contribute to account growth.

  • Translate complex scientific, agronomic and data-driven inputs into clear, actionable recommendations for senior decision-makers.

  • Grow and structure teams by mentoring and developing consultants.


Customer responsibilities

  • Act as the day-to-day project lead and primary client contact on assigned engagements.

  • Be seen by clients as the go-to person for defined workstreams or accounts.

  • Understand each client’s specific context, constraints and decision logic, and translate them into clear work directions for the team.

  • Build trusted relationships with client counterparts across functions and seniority levels.

  • Proactively identify and develop upsell and cross-sell opportunities.


Project & delivery responsibilities

  • Acquire, extrapolate and synthesize relevant information independently, including in data-scarce or uncertain environments.

  • Drive the collection of information from clients and external sources.

  • Quickly identify patterns and key drivers to prioritize analyses and guide problem-solving.

  • Create, adapt and deploy robust project structures, methodologies and workplans.

  • Develop actionable, decision-oriented recommendations for clients, including executive summaries and strategic options.

  • Design and deliver high-impact storylines, presentations and reports, based on clear logic, relevant data and concrete examples.

  • Run client meetings and workshops effectively; tailor messaging to the audience and context.

  • Supervise, review and elevate the work of junior consultants; provide clear guidance on analyses and deliverables.


Project management & ownership

  • Plan and manage projects end-to-end, with minimal supervision.

  • Set clear expectations for team members and manage workloads effectively.

  • Provide regular, constructive and timely feedback to consultants.

  • Identify delivery risks early and address them proactively or escalate appropriately.

  • Ensure projects are delivered on time, on scope and within budget.

  • Manage invoicing, contractual aspects and commercial follow-up.


Commercial & business development

  • Master the bid / proposal-to-sale process with corporates.

  • Scope projects realistically, define clear deliverables, timelines and budgets.

  • Price projects appropriately to protect margins and delivery quality.

  • Avoid under-scoped or structurally risky projects.

  • Proactively drive cross-domain collaboration to foster innovation and improve consulting offers, delivery processes and products.

  • Seek, collect and synthesize inputs from multiple domains to connect the dots and create differentiated client value.

What success looks like

  • Clients trust you as a strategic partner, not just a delivery lead.

  • Projects are delivered with high quality, strong margins and repeat business.

  • Teams grow under your leadership — consultants become more autonomous and impactful.

  • You actively contribute to the firm’s reputation, offers and growth.

➔ Profil recherché

  • 8–10 years of experience in strategic consulting, advisory or equivalent roles with strong client exposure.

  • Proven track record of leading projects end-to-end and managing client relationships.

  • Strong ability to bridge scientific or technical expertise and business strategy.

  • Comfortable challenging data, models and expert assumptions to ensure decision relevance.

  • Strong commercial instinct and experience contributing to account growth.

  • Demonstrated ability to coach, develop and retain talent.

  • Excellent communication skills, including executive-level storytelling.

  • Fluent in English and French
