Senior Consultant

By 2026, our ambition is to become the reference partner for private 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.
