FTSG is seeking an experienced consultant to join our team of industry-leading strategists.

Do you want to help the world's leading companies define who they want to be 5-10 years from now? At Future Today Strategy Group (FTSG), we guide Fortune 500 companies, global institutions, and other innovative organizations through their most consequential decisions. Our clients seek more than marginal improvement - they come to us when the path forward is uncertain, and the stakes are high. As futurists, we bring strategic clarity to the questions they have about the future.

As a Consultant, you will work directly with client teams and FTSG senior leadership to address complex, often ambiguous challenges. You will be expected to bring a high level of analytical rigor, structured thinking, and client-ready polish to every engagement. Your work will help drive strategic recommendations that are not only actionable but also durable, guiding long-term choices and creating near-term momentum.

You will take ownership of core components of client engagements, including conducting external and client-specific research, generating insights, structuring recommendations, and delivering high-quality outputs in the form of presentations, memos, or models. You'll also contribute directly to client communication, leading regular working sessions, presenting deliverables, and helping build trust-based advisory relationships.

Previous work as a futurist and a background in strategic foresight is not required for this role. You will receive comprehensive training in our proprietary foresight methodologies and tools. You'll work alongside a team of thoughtful, driven, and future-focused strategists, with opportunities to grow into more senior roles as your skills and experience deepen.

FTSG is a values-driven firm committed to meaningful, long-term client impact. We set a high bar for the quality of our work, but we are equally committed to building a sustainable, supportive environment for our team. We believe that the best ideas - and the best outcomes - come from teams who are well-resourced, well-rested, and deeply respected.

What You'll Do

Project

Perform research across a wide range of industries, topics, and client needs, bringing curiosity and discipline to every engagement
Partner closely with colleagues to ensure high-quality, on-time delivery and cohesive thinking across all phases of a project

Client/Communication Skills

Lead regular client working sessions and actively support senior team members in key meetings, workshops, and presentations
Create compelling deliverables — from original frameworks to strategy memos to presentations — that communicate complex ideas with clarity and polish

Tech/Methodology

Strengthen our internal tools and thinking, contributing to the firm's knowledge base, methods, and systems
Build frameworks and make strategic recommendations grounded in research, data models, and client context, helping leaders navigate choices and set direction

Other

Play an active role in firm culture, helping to build a supportive, ambitious, and best-in-class consulting practice
Miscellaneous other reporting, admin, and other work as needed

Requirements

Who You Are

You are a highly capable consultant with a sharp analytical mind, exceptional communication skills, and a deep commitment to quality. You thrive in ambiguity, structure your thinking quickly, and know how to generate momentum, both in your work and on your teams. You are intellectually curious and internally driven, motivated to do excellent work not for the sake of recognition but because it's the right thing to do.

You are confident but low-ego. You speak up with ideas, but listen closely to others. You collaborate instinctively and push for clarity and excellence in everything you do. And most of all, you are energized by the opportunity to help organizations shape their futures, not just react to them.

This role involves travel throughout the US, with some Latam and Europe. Travel typically occurs at project kickoffs, key phase readouts, and final project deliveries. Travel is approximately 20% and rarely more than 2-3 days a week.

Qualifications

2-4 years of total professional experience, including experience in a consulting role (ideally at a consulting firm)
Strong quantitative analysis skills using software; forecasting or modeling experience is a plus
Exceptional writing and verbal communication skills
Experience conducting structured research, synthesizing complex information, and presenting findings clearly
Proven ability to develop polished slide decks and strategic narratives
Professional presence and client-facing communication skills; experience leading meetings is required
Proficiency with tools such as Excel, PowerPoint, Keynote, Miro/Mural, and time tracking platforms
Bachelor's degree required; business, economics, game theory, public policy, or related fields preferred. MBA is a plus, but not required
Must be based in NYC or CT and able to travel globally (passport required)

Benefits

Growth at FTSG

We are committed to developing consultants into confident, strategic leaders. At FTSG, you'll experience a steep growth trajectory through structured feedback, high-impact exposure, and direct mentorship from senior leaders.

You'll be supported in your development from day one, with a personalized onboarding plan, foresight training, and ongoing learning and development opportunities. We will invest in your growth, and expect you to do the same.

What We Offer

Join a small, high-impact foresight team where everyone listens, takes bold ownership, and drives ideas forward. We offer a competitive salary range of $90K to $125K, plus bonus, comprehensive health coverage, retirement contributions, generous PTO, including a paid sabbatical, engaging off-sites 2-3 times a year, and a professional development budget with ongoing training.

Hybrid flexibility from our Hartford, CT, and Midtown Manhattan offices, with travel across the U.S., with some South America, and Western Europe for key project milestones.
