Management Consultant

A Management Consultant helps businesses to become more efficient and improve profitability. You might analyse current business processes and look at ways to increase productivity. Management Consultants might address particular problems or look at overall efficiency. You might work for an external consultant to businesses in a range of industries.

Management Consultants require good leadership skills and strong interpersonal abilities. You’ll need to be a good communicator and be able to liaise with people from a range of backgrounds. Management Consultants must be organised and able to manage their time well. It’s important you can multitask and work with multiple clients at one time.
