The ideal Keystone candidates have a deep understanding of technology or biotech/pharma industries, along with business skills. While we will always consider hiring unusually analytical and tech or biotech/pharma savvy superstars, we love to hire former consultants from top tier consulting firms, as you often have exceptional problem solving and analytical skills. All our consultants have the opportunity to make a considerable impact on the value of our firm, which allows us to generously compensate our elite team of all A-Players.

How to Apply

If you have been reading closely, you wouldn't expect a typical recruiting process. And we'd hate to disappoint you. To begin our rather scientific and unique recruiting process, send your resume and a thoughtful cover letter to careers@keystonestrategy.com.

We strongly encourage you to address each of the ideal qualifications described below in your cover letter.

IDEAL QUALIFICATIONS

Education: Science, engineering or business undergraduate degree from a top 10 university or some other demonstration of a uniquely impressive academic record. Ideal candidates have demonstrated consistent success competing against the best and brightest students in the world.

Tech/Science Background: Strong interest in and understanding of technology and the IT industry or Biotech and Pharma space. We like to see candidates have familiarity with areas such as hardware systems, semiconductors, operating systems, applications for enterprises, systems integration and solutions, or drug development processes, lab research experience, therapeutic category knowledge, understanding of the healthcare ecosystem.

Analytics: Exceptional problem solving and analytical skills; demonstrated ability to rapidly gather data, structure hypotheses, and present well-supported solutions.

Recognized Excellence: Tell us a story of someone in a work-type setting recognizing you for making a great contribution or delivering superior results.

Relationship Development: Outstanding relationship-building skills. Convince us that you have the ability to interface with everyone from the janitor to the CEO at our target clients (and if you think that the janitor's perspective couldn't impact our analysis, this probably isn't the right firm for you).

The Pittsburgh Airport Test: Something that gives us confidence that we wouldn't hate being stuck with you in the Pittsburgh airport for more than six hours.
