Management Consulting Track - Business and Engineering School Graduates

One of our goals is to hire professionals early in their career with a Masters degree in Business or Engineering and groom them for a long and successful consulting career at Trianz. When hiring at the masters degree level, we look for professionals with an outstanding educational profile, an average 3-5 years of industry experience in at least one of our firm's solution areas, and a track record marked by strong analytical skills and a record of achieving results, as well as a desire to make a personal impact and a commitment to building relationships.

Technology Consulting Track - Experienced Consulting Professionals

If you are a fresh business or engineering school graduate you would most likely be hired at the Consultant/Senior Consultant level.

You will be assigned to a client team made up of a Project Manager and other consultants. When there is a need for deep expertise in a specific industry or functional area, a subject mater expert will work with the team. Your core responsibilities will include analyzing data, providing fact-based insights, framing hypotheses, developing recommendations, and making presentations to client and Trianz leadership teams.

You and your team will most likely work from the client's offices, which will allow you to spend more time with client team members and gain greater insight into the dynamics of their business.

You will have many opportunities to shape your career. Most consultants join as generalists and sample a variety of engagements in their first couple of years here, but some bring expertise that allows them to specialize right away.

After a few years, you will start developing deep knowledge and expertise focusing on either a particular solution or a functional area. As part of your growing expertise, you will likely contribute to the development of practice-specific knowledge, which often takes the form of contributing to internal white papers and published articles. These contributions help you to build your reputation as an expert in a particular area within and outside of the firm.

Management Consulting Track - Experienced Consulting Professionals

Helping business leaders execute strategic initiatives requires experienced professionals. We are constantly hiring experienced consulting professionals to lead client engagements and emerge as the next generation of the firm's leaders. When hiring experienced consulting professionals, we seek individuals with 8-10 years of experience in two or more of our firm's solution or service areas. Prior consulting experience with a large firm is strongly desired.

Our firm eschews traditional hierarchies and our delivery services revolve around small fast-moving teams with a bias for action. Experienced hires would therefore not manage a large number of persons, but would actively collaborate with team members as well as play a hands-on role with both delivery and client interaction. Since our teams are small, each member's role is important.

Your role may be that of a Director, a Project Manager , a team member, or a subject matter expert who acts as the source for specific industry, functional or technological expertise. Your role will vary depending on the business needs of the moment. Whatever role you play, the expertise you bring will help ensure that the team delivers the greatest impact to our client.

Technology Consulting Track - Engineering School Graduates

One of our goals is to hire professionals early in their career with an engineering degree or a post graduate degree in Computer Science or Information Technology. Typically, we look for an outstanding educational profile marked by strong analytical skills and a record of achieving results, as well as a desire for personal impact and a commitment to building relationships.

Entry Levels and Our Expectations From You

If you are a fresh engineering school graduate you would most likely be hired at consultant level in the USA, or at Trainee Software Engineer level in India. Prior experience, if any, would be factored in when deciding on the entry level.

As your skills and experience grow, you will take on larger and more complex aspects of an engagement and start to develop into a leadership role. Generally, your next step from associate is to the position of team leader, project leader and then the engagement manager, where you will manage the day-to-day activities and progress of the team along with having primary responsibility for communicating with senior clients.

You'll have many opportunities to shape your career. Most associates join as generalists and sample a variety of engagements in their first couple of years here, but some bring expertise that allows them to specialize right away.

After a couple of years, you will start developing an area of deep knowledge focusing on either an industry sector or a functional area. As part of your growing expertise, you'll likely contribute to the development of practice-specific knowledge, which often takes the form of contributing to internal white papers or published articles. These contributions help you to build your reputation as an expert in a particular area within and outside of the firm.

Your Team

As a new associate, you will work closely with a small team of four to five people. Over the life of an engagement, you should expect to spend time gathering and analyzing data, problem solving with your team, developing solutions, and interacting with client team members.

Every member of the team is expected to make a significant contribution. From team brainstorming sessions to assignment delivery, your team will look to you to actively participate by voicing your opinions, responding to client concerns, and presenting recommendations. Each of us, from the most junior consultant to the most experienced employee, has a voice and an obligation to use it which we value.

Work-Life Balance

We provide our clients with the highest levels of service. That means we work hard and travel frequently. But we know that you have a life outside of work, and that it's important to you to have the flexibility to balance the demands of both parts of your life.

Each team decides its own preferred work schedule and style. However it is clearly understood by all team members that client satisfaction comes first, and being provided all deliverables as per deadlines is a key aspect of the Trianz consulting experience.

New consultants at Trianz are drawn from a wide range of backgrounds and experience. There are no tenure-based requirements for advancement – the pace at which you advance is limited only by your demonstrated ability and expertise.
Depending on your interests, career focus and location, you may decide to enter either a Management consulting career path, or a Technology Consulting career path.

• Persuasiveness : During assignments, developing the support of many individuals becomes critical to developing and implementing high-impact recommendations.
• Leadership: Leading people and fostering effective teamwork are key to driving change, and assignments will not succeed without these two critical traits.

Layouts
While we advise you to tailor your resume to the employer you are sending it to, here are some broad tips on the overall layout of a good resume:

• Neatly typed and clearly laid out.
• Use of a reasonably sized font (e.g., size 10 or larger) with a margin around the text for reviewer's notes.
• Basic formatting – very creative formatting will distract from the message.
• Checked grammar and spelling.
• Name and contact details at the top, with daytime and evening phone numbers and an e-mail address.

Resume Structure
Our resume reviewers look for evidence of achievement in the four key skill areas outlined in The Skills We Look For(Link). A good resume structure includes the following elements:

• Education - This provides details of graduate undergraduate education.
  • Include your degree subject, university, degree grades or GPA at each major milestone of your course (for example, Magna cum laude overall, Summa cum laude in first year) and any major prizes or awards, specifying key dates.
  • You should also include any significant academic projects (e.g., senior thesis, major research work, etc.) that you feel helps illustrate your academic ability.
  • Depending on your national background, it may be important that you provide details of your results in all subjects in key examinations (e.g.: High School Diploma, ‘A' levels, Baccalaureate grades).
  • Applicants who have taken standardized tests such as the GMAT, LSAT, SAT, GRE, etc. should include their scores.
  • Providing as much detail as possible here is key. If you studied in an academic system unfamiliar to most, try where possible to translate your result to help the reviewer understand (e.g., Top 2 percent of students nationally).
• Work Experience
  • If you have work experience, emphasize what you have achieved in each major role beyond your key day-to-day responsibilities.
  • We are most interested in the impact you have had in your career (e.g., the key things that changed because of your direct involvement).
  • You may also describe unique skills and experiences that will help us understand the strengths that you bring to the table.
• Other Skills and Achievements
  • We are very interested in any volunteer or charity work, or positions of responsibility in professional bodies - particularly where they demonstrate leadership, initiative-taking or commitment.
  • Similarly, you should include leadership positions, significant involvement in extracurricular activities, and significant participation in sports, games, societies or hobbies. For example, a high level of achievement in a sport tells us something about your commitment and drive to achieve. Do not just tell us about your hobbies, tell us what you have achieved in pursuing them.
  • Generally you should only include items that you feel will help us understand your strengths better.
• Languages
  • Include any foreign languages for which you have business conversational ability or better.
  • For languages, a good idea is to rate yourself as either basic, competent or fluent.
