Senior Consultants at ERM lead and contribute to successful consulting engagements, support marketing and business management, and actively contribute to the internal growth and development of our team, our systems and our culture. Based on their professional experience, Senior Consultants typically focus on a particular ERM advisory service area but can adapt to support other areas when needed – versatility and cross-fertilization across business lines is an important factor underlying ERM’s success.

YOUR ROLE

We are looking for a Senior Consultant who will manage and contribute to projects in Inuit Nunangat that touch on themes related to Indigenous self-determination, reconciliation, and socio-economic development in collaborative and multi-stakeholder environments.
