We bring together strategy, policy, market design and capital mobilisation to deliver tangible results in the real economy. Founded in 2016, Systemiq has grown to a global team of more than 300 people across Brazil, France, Germany, Indonesia, Kenya, the Netherlands, the UK and the US, united by a singular focus on sustainability.

Join Systemiq's contractor network
We are looking for experienced strategy and management consultants at Associate to Manager level to work with Systemiq teams on a flexible, project basis.
For contractors, Systemiq offers the chance to work on complex strategy and transformation challenges with teams that combine consulting, sector expertise and a strong focus on real-world impact. Assignments vary in topic and duration but typically involve working closely with Systemiq colleagues and clients on high-priority questions where strong problem solving, analysis and communication matter from day one.
We currently have several live contractor opportunities and expect further needs to arise over the coming months. We are therefore looking both for consultants who may be able to join projects in the near term and for strong candidates who could be relevant for future assignments.

Previous sustainability experience is welcome but not essential. Strong consulting generalists are very much encouraged to apply, particularly those with relevant experience in one or more of our focus areas.

Structure complex problems: Develop clear approaches to ambiguous strategic questions and identify the analysis needed to answer them.
Conduct analysis and research: Undertake quantitative and qualitative analysis, research and synthesis to build a strong evidence base.
Develop clear insights: Turn complex information into concise conclusions,…
