Keystone is the leading strategy and economics firm serving high tech, internet, online advertising, mobile communications and other Fortune 100 companies whose businesses are built on cutting-edge science and technology.  Our clients are well respected and admired and the results of our work can regularly be found on the front page of the Wall Street Journal.  We are actively hiring to quickly grow our exceptionally talented and capable team of superstars to tackle the world’s most exciting strategy, innovation, marketing, competition and economic problems facing leading technology companies.

 

Keystone has continued to grow rapidly in every year since our founding and through the downturn for three simple reasons: (1) we hire the absolute most talented recruits; (2) we have channeled our focus on one critical area -  innovation and the related economic projects that drive growth for our clients; and (3) we have formed an unmatched network of the world’s leading experts from Harvard, Stanford, Kellogg, Wharton and other top business schools and have mastered the art of leveraging these thought leaders to deliver superior strategies for our clients.

 

Engagement Managers come to Keystone with two to four years of experience managing project teams at a top management consulting firm and are knowledgeable in both technology and business. Engagement Managers oversee all aspects of our projects, including leading client relationships, setting project objectives, developing frameworks, structuring work assignments and managing teams.  At Keystone Engagement Managers have an unparalleled opportunity to build and lead major portions of our Strategy and Expert Practices.

Keystone Strategy has immediate openings for Engagement Managers in our Boston, San Francisco and Abu Dhabi offices.
