Overviewintandem – Strategy and Innovation Consultant/Senior Consultant

Financial Times award-winning growth strategy, innovation and ventures boutique consultancy; Report to Founders; Considerable senior client exposure.

We are a growing, innovative, boutique consultancy which partners with some of the world’s most successful companies to tackle complex innovation challenges, creating scalable new businesses which define their next phase of growth. We blend the best of strategy consultancies, innovation agencies and venture building to help our clients identify and build their next £100m business.

In 2024 and 2025, the Financial Times recognised us as a leading consultancy for growth, innovation and new business models.

Led by two Founding Partners who have deep relationships with our clients and who have built a successful innovation consultancy in the past, we are a tight-knit team of highly motivated consultants with backgrounds in strategy, innovation and venture building in big consulting firms, boutiques, and start-ups.

We’re proud to be a 50% female-founded firm. This diversity at the top helps shape a culture that is collaborative, inclusive, people-first—and ambitious. We believe better businesses are built when diverse teams bring different perspectives to the table.

The OpportunityWe’re looking for a Strategy and Innovation Consultant / Senior Consultant to join our team and work on some of the most pressing and exciting challenges of our time—across consumer tech, health tech, mobility, net zero and more. You’ll collaborate directly with our Founding Partners and with senior stakeholders from global clients including Philips, Ford, and McLaren.

This is an ideal role if you have 3-6 years of consulting experience and are looking for more autonomy, purpose, and influence—without the constraints of a large firm. You’ll help shape intandem as we grow, while enjoying the benefits of a supportive, high-performing team. We offer a competitive salary, profit share scheme and frequent promotion opportunities.

The Work We DoWe work with clients in in a range of industries (incl. healthcare, mobility, defence, and energy) to define their next phase of growth. We believe corporates are best positioned to drive the next wave of innovation, and work with them in the fight against disruptive start-ups and to get ahead of their established competition.

We challenge the belief that corporate innovation can only succeed in partnership with start-ups or insulated in incubators, labs, or accelerators. With 90% of these having failed to date, the chances of them delivering commercial success have proven to be too low. We work on executive level priorities with passionate teams to drive real innovation and shape the next phase of their growth.

Join us in shaping a world in which the largest companies innovate to solve the pressing challenges of our time.

About the Team, and Your Role in ItWe are a close-knit team of bright, driven individuals with backgrounds in strategy, innovation and venture building, many of whom started their careers in large consulting firms. We all have a hand in shaping and building the business, with diverse clients, projects and growth opportunities on offer.

To help us continue to grow, we are looking for ambitious Consultants with a background in strategy consulting (Big 4 or MBB) and with strong consulting toolkits, who are motivated to define and build new businesses and excited by the opportunity to help shape a challenger consultancy.

You will have 3-6 years’ experience in consulting and will be looking for a role which frees you from the constraints of bigger firms, with the opportunity to shape and deliver engaging, empowering work.

Specifically, you will;

Develop growth strategies, new propositions, business models and go-to-market approaches

Lead structured problem solving across uncharted or ambiguous markets

Deliver clear, compelling storytelling and synthesis to guide client decisions

Build trusted relationships with clients, and lead engaging, thoughtful interactions

Work across a range of topics—from defining the future of mobility, to net zero innovation, space strategy, AI commercialisation and healthcare transformation

Contribute to shaping intandem itself—as a cultural co-founder, not just a team member

This role will be based in London, with the opportunity to work from home for up to two days a week. We occasionally travel to see our clients across the UK, Europe, and US.
