Dear Friends,
I wanted to let you know that we are looking for a few openings at kasina to build out our consulting team. We are not your typical consulting firm. We value having time for families, embracing creativity while still doing what some may consider "traditional work" in financial services.
If you know of anyone who is interested in balancing these paradoxical ideas, please feel free to send them my way. Or they can send direct to careers@kasina. com
Thanks,
Mike

'Different' Management Consultant

We are seeking an innovative thinker and consultant with the experience to execute major strategy projects, develop client relationships, and support our leading-edge research endeavors.
We've been described as "thinking differently" and "obsessed with excellence." We need someone who embraces these qualities and shares our passion for them. Moreover, we need someone who can incorporate these elements into his or her work.
Does reading Wired and HBR excite you? If so, this job is for you.
If you're like us, you:
·         Have a passion for ideas
·         Are willing to think creatively
·         Want to make a company great, not just work for a great company
·         Have a public service orientation
·         Love your job, but without an unhealthy obsession
·         Really understand the "Work Hard, Play Hard" concept
You should be excited about:
·         Working on consulting engagements
·         Conducting industry research concerning sales, marketing, and e-Business in the financial services industry
·         Writing short briefs and periodic reports that solve problems
·         Working on business development
·         Developing innovative distribution and e-business strategies for asset management firms
You should also:
·         Hold a degree in any field from a top-tier college or university
·         Have at least 2-4 years professional experience
·         Have worked for a management consulting firm, or some equivalent strategic experience
·         Be a natural born leader
·         Believe in corporate social responsibility
·         Be active in your community (professional, social, sports, hobbies, neighborhood, or otherwise)
We offer a vibrant, fun, and professional work environment in addition to a competitive salary consistent with your experience. We offer all the big company goodies without the big company bureaucracy, and firmly believe in customization and adaptability.
If this sounds interesting to you, please drop us a line at careers@kasina. com with your resume and a note on what excites you about an opportunity like this.
