We are looking for junior management consultants!
Ekan Management is growing and needs more junior management consultants. We are an employee-owned management consulting company with offices in Gothenburg and Stockholm. We combine experience and wisdom after 40 years in the industry, with innovative thinking and creativity. The average age at Ekan is around 40 and we are 50/50 women/men. We believe that character and competence are more important than anything else.

If you are responsible and have a strong inner drive, we offer a dynamic work environment where you get plenty of room to realize your ideas. We do not believe that it is possible to shape the customers' tomorrow if we do not at the same time have the ability to create our own.
