Freelance Business Consultant

About Bedrock Advisory Group

Bedrock Advisory Group is a new breed of consulting firm. We are academic pragmatists and innovators, focused exclusively on helping India's ambitious MSMEs build robust, future-proof businesses. We move beyond theory to provide practical, high-impact strategies that deliver tangible results in growth, efficiency, and profitability.

The Opportunity

This is more than a typical freelance consulting role; it's a unique opportunity to step out of the classroom and into the boardrooms of India's most dynamic businesses. You will work directly with our founding partners to help our clients solve their most pressing challenges.

This role also has a strong entrepreneurial component, offering you the chance to not only deliver on projects but also to contribute directly to the firm's growth by identifying new client opportunities.

Key Responsibilities

• Business Diagnostics:

  Conduct comprehensive analyses of client businesses (people, processes, and technology) to effectively pinpoint core problems and hidden opportunities.

• Strategic Planning:

  Apply foundational consulting frameworks and analytical thinking to develop actionable strategic roadmaps, including "quick wins" and long-term growth plans.

• Client Management:

  Serve as a key point of contact for clients, building strong relationships based on trust and expertise. Prepare and deliver clear, high-impact presentations and reports to client leadership.

• Business Development:

  Act as a brand ambassador for Bedrock. Identify and cultivate relationships with potential clients within your network, effectively acting as a channel partner for our advisory services.

• Innovative Solutions:

  Research and recommend modern, affordable automation technologies and process improvements that can boost client efficiency and profitability.

Who We're Looking For (Qualifications & Skills)

• Required:

  Currently in the final year of a full-time MBA program with a specialization in Strategy, Consulting, General Management, or a related field.

• Consulting Acumen:

  A strong, demonstrable knowledge of core strategic and business frameworks (e.g., SWOT, Porter's Five Forces, Business Model Canvas).

• Analytical Powerhouse:

  Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills. You can look at a complex situation and effectively diagnose the root cause.

• Exceptional Communicator:

  Outstanding verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex ideas simply and persuasively.

• Client-Ready Presence:

  High emotional intelligence and the professional maturity to interact confidently with business owners and senior leaders.

• Pragmatic Mindset:

  A hands-on, "roll-up-your-sleeves" attitude. You understand that a good strategy is one that can actually be implemented.

• Inherent Curiosity:

  A genuine passion for learning about different businesses and a desire to help them succeed.

Why Join Bedrock?

• Real-World Impact:

  Make a tangible difference to growing businesses, seeing your strategies come to life.

• Direct Client Exposure:

  Gain invaluable client-facing experience that goes far beyond a typical internship.

• Entrepreneurial Upside:

  In addition to your project fees, you will be rewarded for new client relationships you help originate, giving you a direct stake in our collective success.

• Founder Mentorship:

  Work directly alongside and learn from the founding partners of the firm.

• Flexibility:

  As a freelance role, manage your project-based work and schedule alongside your academic commitments.

• Future Potential:

  High-performing freelance consultants will be strongly considered for full-time roles upon graduation.
