Management Consultant

About

Our mission is to raise AGI with the richness of human intelligence - curious, witty, imaginative, and full of unexpected brilliance.

Surge was founded by engineers and researchers who dreamed of building the next generation AI. We're building a platform that powers the most powerful models in the world in partnership with companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Google.

At Surge, we believe the path to AGI isn't just about scaling compute - it's about embracing the unlimited ceiling of human intelligence and creativity in the data that shapes these systems. Our platform combines elite human expertise with cutting-edge tools for scalable oversight, from building rich RL environments to conducting rigorous evaluations that go beyond benchmarks. We've run a profitable business from day one without raising venture funding.

The Role

As a Management Consultant, you’ll bring the structured reasoning, synthesis, and executive judgment that define world-class consulting. You’ll help model how top partners approach unstructured business problems - framing ambiguous situations, developing hypotheses, pressure-testing data, and crafting compelling, insight-driven recommendations.

You won’t be running client engagements - you’ll be encoding the thinking systems behind them. This is a role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, combines analytical precision with narrative clarity, and can distill the rigor of elite consulting into reproducible examples that train frontier AI systems to reason strategically.

What we’re Looking for

• Top-Tier Consulting Pedigree – Current or Former Partner, Principal, or Senior Engagement Manager at McKinsey, Bain, BCG, or an equivalent strategy firm
• Strategic Problem-Solving – Proven ability to break down complex, cross-functional challenges into structured, hypothesis-driven frameworks
• Executive Communication – Facility with board-level synthesis, storyline architecture, and succinct, persuasive recommendations ‍
• Quality Bar & Judgment – Deep sense of analytical rigor, prioritization, and what “great” looks like in client-ready insight generation

Work You Might Do

• Rewriting model-generated strategy analyses into consulting-grade narratives and frameworks
• Designing evaluation datasets that capture partner-level reasoning under uncertainty and constraint
• Reviewing outputs for logic gaps, synthesis quality, and executive readability
• Collaborating with Surge researchers to formalize consulting-style problem solving for model training and evaluation
