POSITION HIGHLIGHTS

As a consultant, you collaborate with the team to deliver high-quality, client-focused solutions to complex business problems these organizations face. Experience tells us that our future leaders need to be both knowledgeable and demonstrate depth in an area of expertise but also versatile, having a broad range of capabilities and skill sets to solve today’s complex business problems. That’s why we focus on developing consultants across our business, so you gain experience in different industries, grow your technical and professional capabilities, and gain leadership qualities that will ensure your future success.

Our culture is built on clear expectations, meaningful support, and teamwork. Consultants are encouraged to contribute ideas, learn through real work, and collaborate closely with others. Our people invest in one another; coaching, guiding, and supporting each team member to grow and perform at their best.

When you join our team, you will participate in Passport to Protiviti, our award-winning onboarding program.

Technology Consulting consultants will experience a variety of projects. Each project experience is designed to fuel your curiosity, build capability, drive meaningful impact, and prepare you for the next career level. Consultants learn alongside experienced leaders and advisors to develop a strong understanding of business processes and build technical skills in general risk areas. Consultants compile and analyze data, document findings, and communicate insights that contribute impactfully to client engagements. Through interaction with client and project team personnel, consultants develop professional relationships that are grounded in trust, supporting exceptional client service. A successful consultant manages time and priorities effectively, takes ownership of assignments, and contributes impactfully to collective team results.

With each project, you receive hands-on training in a supportive, high-performance environment and interact with leaders across our practice. Talent Managers will assign specific project experiences that support career growth, your skills, and the needs of the business. A network of advisors will help you navigate challenges and celebrate milestones. There are opportunities to join committees, participate in employee network groups, enjoy social, civic, and networking activities to strengthen connections and build meaningful relationships across our firm and in the community.
