What’s it like to be a consultant at SYP?
Strategy
“What’s different about SYP is we don’t have necessarily a set method that we apply to every single project. Every client is different and therefore how we approach it has to be different… This requires our strategists to look at business through a human lens, and be masters of case-building—fusing analysis and emotion, logic, and intuition to paint a picture of a new future.”
— Matt Kerns, Head of Strategy
Program Management
“The PM team is made up of people from so many different backgrounds, and there's no one way to prepare for a role in program management at SYP… I think if you’re a collaborator, if you’ve been thinking, ‘how do I make something, or develop an idea, and how do I work with a lot of different partners to do that?’ That’s already a great foundation for program management.”
— Alissa Burmeister, Head of Program Management
Design
“A lot of other places you may be handed a design task after the content is complete, or after the idea of what’s being made is complete. Designers at SYP are right there in the process, shoulder-to-shoulder with a strategist or a program manager or a leader of the team, and often shoulder-to-shoulder with our clients, which is really different and exciting.”
— Ellie Jabbour, Head of Design
