What You’ll Do at BTS BTS is a consultancy specializing in the people side of strategy. For over three decades we’ve been designing powerful experiences that have a profound and lasting impact on businesses and their people. We help the world’s leading companies turn strategy into results.

Our next-generation approach combines deep business knowledge with transformational development to help people and their company evolve together. We equip leaders for tomorrow, inspire new ways of thinking, and build critical capabilities through targeted interventions, including working sessions, workshops, offsites, and more.

As a Strategy Execution Consultant at the Senior Consultant or Associate Director level, you’ll work directly with leaders from the world’s leading and largest corporations. You’ll learn how their strategies and businesses work, and you’ll shape capabilities across the organization.

We work in small teams to develop designed experiences—think customized business simulations with financial models, or app‑based digital learning—and then we facilitate these engagements with our clients in working sessions that incorporate humor, fun, and competition; you’re the facilitator and coach who makes these experiences impactful and memorable.

There are no industry verticals at BTS, and you will work with a variety of clients on different types of projects. You’ll be staffed on multiple engagements at one time, across different industries, and with different internal teams. In this role, you will have the opportunity to work across our company’s areas of expertise: Strategic Alignment, Business Acumen, Sales & Marketing, and Leadership Development.

When you’re not facilitating an offsite with your teammates, you’ll spend your time designing these amazing experiences—interviewing clients, conducting research and analysis, testing programs, and learning. This is all done in a team‑based setting where our entrepreneurial culture of freedom and responsibility empowers you to contribute from your first day. Project leadership is also an important component of your work at this level, and you’ll increase your client‑ and account‑management skills. As those skills and your career grow, you’ll take on more responsibility to find new clients and opportunities to grow BTS’s business and grow the careers of other BTSers.

We have a hybrid work environment with expectations of being in the office 50% of the time when you’re not traveling. As for travel, we do that differently than most consulting firms: you’ll travel when you are leading clients through the designed experiences you and your teammates create. On average you’ll travel 30-50% of the time, occasionally more than 50%, occasionally less than 30%.

What We’re Looking For We want genuinely curious and humbly inclusive people who bring diverse experiences, backgrounds, skills, and capabilities to BTS.
