Build and lead a new model of consulting — beyond traditional, slide-driven approaches
Join a small, highly selective team at Rhino Management Consulting and take a leading role in shaping a modern consulting firm at the intersection of strategy, technology and AI.
As a Strategy Senior Manager, you will not only advise clients — you will drive complex transformation programs, build client relationships at senior level and actively contribute to the growth of the firm.
About Rhino MC
Rhino MC (Rhino Management Consulting) is a specialized strategy and technology consultancy focused on digital transformation, IT operating models and AI-driven business innovation.
We work with senior executives to solve complex challenges — from AI and technology strategy to target operating model design and large-scale transformation execution.
What sets us apart is our ambition to go beyond traditional consulting. We are building AI-driven solutions, including productized consulting approaches and AI-based solutions, to create scalable and repeatable value for our clients.
Our teams are intentionally small and selective, offering direct collaboration with experienced consultants from leading strategy and technology consultancies (e.g. Bain & Company, McKinsey, Accenture Strategy), early exposure to senior stakeholders and an environment focused on ownership and impact.
We believe that consulting needs to evolve. Our ambition is to move beyond traditional, slide-driven approaches by combining strategic thinking with scalable, AI-driven solutions that create real and lasting impact for our clients — and by building a firm that reflects this new model from the ground up.
Your Role
As a Strategy Senior Manager / Principal, you will take end-to-end responsibility for complex client engagements and play a key role in shaping Rhino MC’s growth trajectory.
You will work closely with C-level stakeholders, lead strategic discussions and ensure the successful delivery of high-impact transformation initiatives.
In parallel, you will contribute to building and scaling our consulting offerings, with a strong focus on AI-driven and productized solutions.
This role is designed for experienced consultants who combine strategic depth with entrepreneurial drive and the ambition to take on leadership responsibility within a growing firm.
