2025 MBA Associate (Tokyo Office)

A.T. Kearney is seeking people with the skills, drive and vision to fulfill the promise of strategy consulting - and fulfill their own potential - in this new era. We seek highly qualified individuals with a proven record of academic excellence combined with significant work experience. We strongly emphasize the personal and professional development of our consultants by involving them in a variety of assignments and supporting them with a strong mentoring program. Our consultants are challenged to deliver valuable insights to clients to help them achieve competitive advantage.

As an  Associate at Kearney , you will contribute to consulting project teams as they offer honest advice and practical guidance to our clients. Depending on each client’s unique needs, projects can differ in length, size and location, giving you unique, hands-on experiences across a range of industries and service practices.

Working alongside a dedicated and diverse set of people, you will broaden your knowledge and experience in an open, agile, and collaborative environment. With the freedom to be yourself and recognition for what you bring to the table, you can put your purpose into action and help build a future that works for everyone, everywhere—as a Kearney Original.

Key responsibilities

• Ensure the success of projects to complete tasks such as gathering and analyzing data and conducting competitor assessment studies.
• Lead project workstreams and teams (as needed), working alongside the client to create recommendations and implement co-created solutions.
• Assist the firm’s business development through generating proposals.
• Contribute to the development of thought leadership and other internal and external reports and articles.
• Participate in firm building opportunities, e.g. recruiting, training, and mentoring.

Who you are
After nearly 100 years, we know this business is fundamentally about making connections—between facts, figures, insights, strategies, tools, technologies, and above all, people. That’s why, we look for collaborative, insightful, and inquisitive problem-solvers who do not accept the first thing in front of them and who are always unapologetically themselves.

We want to hear from you if you are:

• Ready to share your ideas and contribute as soon as you join a team
• Analytically inclined and enjoy solving problems
• Able to prioritize and are a doer by nature
• Experienced minimum 3-6 years in your chosen field
• Fluent in English and local language requirement, if applicable

What we can offer you
Every day, our people work to be the difference for our clients, our communities, and our colleagues. Helping them make an impact, they are sustained by a competitive remuneration package plus comprehensive benefits and perks, including but not limited to:

• Comprehensive medical insurance for employees and their families
• Non-partner equity-based awards (for consulting managers and above)
• Structured and on-the-job learning and development opportunities
• Personalized opportunities, including talent mobility, flexible work programs, and externships to help you chart a unique career journey to pursue your own personal and professional goals
