Careers
We are looking for Senior Consultants who are excited to help grow the firm and who have the experience to sell, lead, and manage work independently and in teams. Click HERE to read the full job description.
First and foremost, Senior Consultants are entrepreneurial-minded, seasoned professionals with a passion for helping us build our growing business! In this role, you will make significant contributions to business development, cultivate client relationships, and work collaboratively with CFAR Principals and other members of the CFAR team to deliver exceptional services.
Senior Consultants bring functional area expertise, applicable to multiple industries, and can get “up to speed” quickly when working with clients. They demonstrate the capacity to develop effective and collegial consulting relationships with clients, and work respectfully and productively with people at all levels of the organization. Senior Consultants are comfortable with the complexities and dynamics of business and enterprise performance, including but not limited to: general management, financial management, strategy, culture, operations, and/or marketing/communications. Senior Consultants have a track record of developing new business and demonstrate the ability to prospect clients, explore organizational needs, develop tailored project designs, lead sales calls, and write winning proposals.
Senior Consultants will be active in translating ideas from client work into our markets and vice versa, building on CFAR’s foundation of thought leadership with their own ideas, with expectations for writing and presenting on issues that feature our ideas and impact.
This role holds the potential to “fast-track” to ownership, as a Principal of the firm.

We are looking for individuals with an advanced degree, outstanding intellectual abilities, analytic rigor and project management and interpersonal skills who are excited to help grow the firm and eventually lead and sell work on their own. Click HERE to read the full job description.
Managers work in a dynamic and challenging environment. Managers collaborate closely with Analysts, Associates, Senior Managers, and Principals in small, high-performance teams focused on client problems. Managers analyze qualitative and quantitative data, manage complex tasks, lead and facilitate work sessions for our clients, and present analyses with recommendations to the client.
CFAR leverages the deep expertise of its consultants. For this reason, we fast-track the development of our Managers. One or two years into their tenure, Managers can expect to rapidly take on greater responsibilities, begin selling work, and collaborate with colleagues to develop the proprietary tools and methods we use to meet our clients’ needs. The Manager position is seen as a springboard for senior consulting.
