Senior Consultant

We are looking for a dynamic Senior Consultant to join our offices in Singapore. The Senior Consultant role is typically for individuals with 4 to 6 years of relevant work experience. This role is a full-time position based in Singapore, with a target start date of October 2025.

Our work has been likened to "CrossFit for the mind": a mixture of policy analysis, strategy consulting, investment banking, and non-profit capacity building to provide end-to-end support in launching successful projects across diverse issues.

Responsibilities

As a Senior Consultant, you will be working across multiple projects in the following ways:

Supporting engagements focused on Tri-Sector's work

• Researching gaps where innovation can be of value
• Conducting due diligence on service partners
• Conducting cost-benefit analysis and financial modelling
• Creating presentations to share analysis
• Supporting the team in negotiations with project stakeholders
• Working with evaluators to design rigorous outcomes evaluations
• Working with different key stakeholders including service partners, funders and evaluators to achieve successful outcomes during service delivery phase

Supporting winning new mandates

• Analysing unmet social or environmental needs and brainstorming new collaboration models to solve these
• Supporting the development of proposals to clients and funders to win new mandates

Supporting firm-building initiatives

• Contributing to different aspects of creating a high performing startup
• Apply and continuously improve the organisation's best practices through developing and refining of training materials, and intellectual property

Every day at Tri-Sector is different, but an example of a day could be that you may run a focus group discussion alongside our service partners, draft slides for a client presentation with government, private funders, or other parties, lead due diligence for a potential impact investor, and work with evaluators to design a randomised controlled trial.

Why you should join us

We are creating a 'delta force for impact', with a crack team of high achievers drawn from across different sectors. Together, we are committed to creating a unique organisation where we can achieve personal self-actualisation.

Each team member gets to:

• Constantly build new skills and develop themselves. We hire A-players from each sector, and then cross-train them in the best practices of other sectors. Everyone has something to learn.
• Use their past experience in new ways. We appreciate what each team member can bring to the table. We have public policy experts, strategy consultants, social entrepreneurs, and quantitative PhDs each contributing their talents and experience to our mission.
• Exercise autonomy and control over their own fate. We build the organisation together – everyone has a role in setting the firm's strategy and major decisions. If you don't like something, you will be part of fixing it.
• Work with people who really care. We wake up each day thinking about how we can do better for the people we serve and push the system towards more impact. We hold ourselves and each other to account for that.
• Directly see their personal delta. Each team member's work will often mean the difference between a frontier being pushed in the world - or not. The buck stops with you, so when you look back, you will be able to say: "I did that".

Who we are looking for

Successful applicants will have demonstrated:

• Strong problem-solving ability and analytical rigour by taking the lead to break down problems, structure research approaches, gather data, and conduct analyses in a timely manner
• Effective time and work management skills to handle multiple workstreams and deliverables in a fast-paced setting alongside your teammates
• Sensitive communication skills to work with parties from different sectors
• Hunger and humility to learn given the diverse skillsets involved and continuously evolving field
• Passion for creating genuine systems-level social change even when the going gets tough
• Humility and care for the team by upholding a meritocracy of ideas not rank, and supporting the development of fellow staff and peers

Candidates with these skills and attributes will typically have had experience from backgrounds in leading evaluation firms, management consulting, or development finance. However, we believe that there is a diversity of settings where these skills can be developed, and are open to considering candidates from different backgrounds. To us, what matters more is: what have you actually done, and what could you achieve with us if given the opportunity?

Selection process

Our interviews generally span 3 rounds, including a phone interview, cases for you to have a sense of the work which we do, and a chance to meet members of the team to understand if we are a good mutual fit. Due to the high volume of applications, we regret that we will only be able to notify shortlisted candidates.
