The team works closely with clients at every stage of their journey, helping them navigate challenges, avoid financial pitfalls, and implement practical solutions before, during, and after major transformational projects or transactions creating lasting impact.
Help clients improve performance, manage costs, and operate more effectively. As a Senior Consultant in Deloitte's Performance & Cost Improvement (P&CI) team, within the Performance Improvement & Restructuring (PI&R) offering, you'll bring structure to complex business challenges and help turn insights into practical action.

As a Senior Consultant on the Performance & Cost Improvement team, you will be responsible for helping clients evaluate and execute initiatives that improve cost structure, cash flow, and enterprise value.

  • Support the development of business cases, pricing analyses, and financial models tailored to client objectives
  • Plan and support transformation engagements across industries, including coordinating workstreams, managing scope changes, and tracking progress against engagement objectives
  • Work with client stakeholders to assess issues, develop strategic recommendations, and prepare deliverables that align to engagement requirements
  • Serve as a liaison between business needs and technology-enabled solutions to support implementation and execution
  • Contribute to proposal development and other practice-building activities, as requested

A successful candidate would possess these skills:

  • Ability to work independently and collaborate as part of a team
  • Effective written and verbal communication skills
  • Meticulous attention to detail and quality of work product
  • Ability to build and sustain professional relationships
  • Ability to lead projects or workstreams
  • Ability to manage and prioritize multiple tasks in a fast-paced and dynamic environment
  • Strong interpersonal skills and professional demeanor
  • Ability to meet deadlines
  • Ability to provide clear guidance to others

The team

PI&R defines and leads enterprise Board and C-Suite agendas for non-distressed, underperforming, and distressed clients to improve margins, operational and financial performance, navigate financial difficulties, and improve cashflow to fund critical transformations.
Within PI&R, the Performance & Cost Improvement team helps clients identify, evaluate, and implement enterprise-wide cost reduction and margin improvement opportunities. They address financial pressure, improve operating performance, and stabilize business results. The team supports initiatives such as cost reduction, margin improvement, working capital and liquidity improvement, post-merger integration and synergy capture, operating model transformation, business model transformation, and analytics-enabled performance improvement. P&CI focuses on structural, enterprise-wide changes designed to support both immediate performance goals and long-term profitable growth. 

Qualifications 

Required: 

  • Bachelor's degree
  • 4+ years of experience in management consulting in operations improvement, transformation, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) integration, or business process reengineering focused on cost reduction or growth strategy
  • 4+ years of experience in financial analysis using data from multiple sources to assess value creation opportunities
  • 4+ years of experience developing models using Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Access, Visual Basic, Tableau, or similar tools
  • 2+ years of experience supporting mergers and acquisitions (M&A) or other M&A service delivery
  • Ability to travel 50%, on average, based on the work you do and the clients and industries/sectors you serve
  • Limited immigration sponsorship may be available

Preferred:

  • Advanced degree
  • Experience serving corporate and private equity clients
  • Experience developing business cases, pricing analyses, or complex financial analyses
  • Experience creating executive-level presentations and client deliverables using Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Visio
  • Experience with data visualization or analytics tools such as Tableau
  • Experience supporting proposal development
  • Experience using Microsoft Excel and analytics tools to support analysis and recommendations
  • Experience mentoring junior team members

The wage range for this role takes into account the wide range of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions including but not limited to skill sets; experience and training; licensure and certifications; and other business and organizational needs. The disclosed range estimate has not been adjusted for the applicable geographic differential associated with the location at which the position may be filled. At Deloitte, it is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the range for their role and compensation decisions are dependent on the facts and circumstances of each case. A reasonable estimate of the current range is $128,000 to $252,500.

You may also be eligible to participate in a discretionary annual incentive program, subject to the rules governing the program, whereby an award, if any, depends on various factors, including, without limitation, individual and organizational performance.
