Consulting Job at Notch Partners – alum referred
Notch Partners was founded in 2002 by two HBS graduates and has since grown into one of the premier human capital consulting firms. Notch works to connect our private equity clients with industry-leading executives across a wide range of industries to assess investment opportunities, generate deal ideas, and/or improve the performance of client portfolio companies.
We are seeking intellectually curious and high EQ/IQ, recent college graduates who are interested in working in a fast-paced, professional environment where young employees take on substantial responsibility early in their career. We consider all candidates, regardless of college major or industry experience: we will teach you to be successful in this role, but you should have an interest in working in a client-facing, business-oriented capacity. You will need to bring a people driven attitude, intellectual curiosity and be results oriented.
Here are some thoughts and application tips from Casey Lilley ’20 about her experiences:
“Notch Partners has been an amazing place to start my career. Here at Notch, we prioritize people, striving to build long-term relationships that unlock success for our clients. Notch embodies this principal not only in its approach to client and executive communication, but also with its employees. Associates at Notch are given significant responsibility and independence right out of the gate, and yet are supported and mentored through challenges.
As a recent 2020 graduate, I have found every day to present an opportunity for learning and growth. You will get unparalleled exposure speaking with industry leading executives, communicating directly with clients, and completing industry research. A successful applicant should show a true eagerness to learn, demonstrate a keen interest in Notch and what we do, and will be communicative through both writing and dialogue. Be specific and detail-oriented, but let your personality and interests shine through.”

Organized and hosted by the Middlebury Alternative Breaks (MAlt) 2021 Environmental Conservation Amid the Pandemic Team: Tina Cai ‘23, Sam Liang ‘22, Francis Shiner ‘23, Hanwen Zhang ‘24, Marlow Saucier ‘24, Sarah Levin ‘24, Sophia Fatima ‘24.
