Position Summary

You’ve gained valuable technical expertise in the vibrant consulting arena. But you find yourself wondering what’s next on your career agenda. You want to continue developing your current skills…but you want to step it up a notch. Huron has your answer—our Technical Manager position.

One trait that describes our ideal technical manager candidate is highly-capable. We seek out team players who consistently execute well-developed talents and embrace career growth.
