Help build a new consulting firm from day one - and grow faster than you ever could inside an established one.
Bang & Partners is a brand-new procurement consultancy - and you can be part of it from the very beginning. We combine the raw energy and ownership of a start-up with the rigour of top-tier consulting - and impact that goes beyond it, because we execute, not just advise. The firm is founded and led by Thor Bang-Ellingsen, who over 13 years helped build Prokura - a Nordic procurement consultancy acquired by Kearney - into a global firm, and built its Norwegian business from the ground up. He knows exactly what it takes. The network is there, and the track record to believe we will succeed again. What we are building now is the team that takes it to the next level - and we want you in it early.
The opportunity
This is not a seat on someone else’s machine. As one of our first Consultants, you help lay the foundation of a new firm - how we work, what we offer, how we win - while doing real client work from day one. You own your scope early, work shoulder to shoulder with senior practitioners who have done it before, and see your work land in both the client’s numbers and the firm itself.
And this is a partner-track firm by design. Everyone who joins is on a genuine equity journey toward co-ownership. We grow the partnership deliberately and on merit - the door to becoming a co-owner is truly open, and joining early is the best seat on that journey.
What you will do
Drive the analysis across procurement engagements - spend, categories, sourcing and negotiation - and turn it into sharp, client-ready recommendations
Build the fact base and structured problem-solving strong engagements rest on, using modern tooling and AI to work faster and sharper
Contribute in client workshops and stakeholder discussions
Own your workstreams end-to-end, with a senior practitioner alongside you
Help build Bang & Partners itself - our methods, offerings, ways of working and culture
What we are looking for
Master's degree with a strong academic record (e.g. economics, engineering, business or a related field)
1-3 years of relevant experience, primarily or wholly from a leading consulting firm (within procurement or strategy) - or standout consulting internship experience
Sharp analytical rigour and structured problem-solving
A proactive, dependable working style and real ownership - we hire adults
Someone energized, not daunted, by a blank page and a small, fast-moving team
Fluent in Norwegian and English
Genuine drive to help build something, and the ambition to grow with it
Excited by AI as part of the craft - quick to adopt the best tools, and keen to help shape the ones we build ourselves
Procurement is our focus - but we're also open to strong supply chain profiles, an area we plan to grow.
What we offer
A once-in-a-career chance to help build a consulting firm from the ground floor
Faster learning, more client exposure, and more responsibility than any traditional setup can offer
Real ownership from day one, with close coaching from an experienced partner
A real partner-equity journey - everyone who joins is on the path toward co-ownership, and we grow the partnership deliberately from within, on merit
Shared upside, not just salary - when we win, everyone wins
A direct line between what you build and what you earn, in influence and in reward
A sustainable, high-trust work model built for the long game, not for burnout
