Build the future of African transformation.
Whether you're an experienced consultant, a graduate, an academic or a technical expert - Avant-Garde is one of the most exciting places in Africa to build a career at the intersection of strategy, delivery and impact.
What makes this place different
Mission-driven
Every engagement matters. You will work on programmes that shape the future of institutions, sectors and countries.
Multidisciplinary
Sit next to strategists, engineers, financiers, sociologists, evaluators - and become better at your own craft as a result.
Growth
Hands-on learning through live client engagements, senior mentoring and exposure to programmes that shape institutions and sectors.
Impact
Our work is measured. You will see, and share credit for, the outcomes your programmes deliver.
An intellectual, ambitious, collaborative firm.
We hire for judgement and craft - not just credentials. We work in small, senior teams. We invest in our people. And we take the work seriously without taking ourselves too seriously.
Our people describe Avant-Garde as demanding, developmental, and - unusually for consulting - genuinely purposeful. Our attrition rate is a fraction of the industry average.
We hire opportunistically, across four tracks
We don't run a fixed list of open vacancies. Instead we build an active network across four tracks and reach out when an engagement matches your profile. Register your interest and we will keep you in mind.
