Consultant II

About Zinnov

Zinnov is a global management consulting firm that helps organizations make decisions that actually get used — and deliver results that matter. For over two decades, we’ve partnered with leading enterprises, high-growth technology companies, and investors to answer some of the toughest questions they face:

Where should we invest?

How do we scale globally?

What capabilities will win in the next decade?

Our work shapes market entry strategies, global operating models, M&A decisions, and long-term growth bets. We’re known for being data-led, execution-focused, and outcome-driven** — not opinion-heavy slideware.

At Zinnov, how you work matters as much as what you deliver. We value independent thinking, crisp communication, and early ownership. With 450+ professionals across 10 global offices, we work across industries including Digital Services, ER&D, Enterprise Software, Semiconductors, Healthcare, BFSI, Automotive, Media & Telecom, and Private Equity.

Zinnov isn’t for everyone. It’s for people who want steep learning curves, honest feedback, and the chance to see their work influence real business decisions — not just presentations.

** Why Globalization Excellence (GE) **

Zinnov’s Globalization Excellence (GE) practice helps enterprises build and scale Global Capability Centers (GCCs) end-to-end — from Design & Discovery to Build, Scale, and Run.

In GE, you don’t work in silos. You:

• Own complex, end-to-end client journeys
• Work across GCC advisory, managed services, and BOT / outsourcing models
• Influence leadership decisions that shape long-term talent and operating strategies

This is where strategy meets execution — and where talent plays a defining role.

As ** Consultant II ** , you will play a core delivery role on consulting engagements — working closely with Project Leads and Managers to deliver research-driven, analysis-rich outputs for clients across technology-led domains (TMT, Aerospace, Automotive, Manufacturing, Telecom, Semiconductors, and adjacent sectors).

This role is designed for a consultant who can take ownership of workstreams end-to-end — building strong fact bases through primary and secondary research, applying structured analysis, and translating insights into crisp, client-ready narratives.

** Client-ready Storytelling & Deliverables **

• Create high-quality presentations and reports that are crisp, structured, and executive-ready.

** Stakeholder & Partner Coordination **

• Provide direction to external agencies and internal resources supporting research programs and analysis.

• Coordinate inputs, manage timelines, and ensure high-quality delivery with strong follow-through.

** Business Development & Practice Development **

• Support business development by preparing project/work proposals and pitch modules.

• Contribute to practice assets — frameworks, reusable research modules, and knowledge collateral.

• Collaborate closely with team members to ensure superior deliverables and consistent quality.

** What You Bring **

** Qualifications & Experience **

• Bachelor’s degree (Engineering) from a top-tier university; MBA/PGDM preferred .
