Job Description

With ambitious growth goals over the next four to five years, WoodMac Supply Chain Consulting is an exciting place to build a career. With a very strong pipeline over the foreseeable future, our intent is to build out our team with folks capable supporting and driving execution of our upcoming client engagements while helping make our revenue goals achievable.  These people will bring strong analytical and communication skills to the table and will have ambition to lead projects and manage client relationships in the future.
