Careers
HawkPartners has been a different kind of consulting firm from day one.
For more than two decades, we’ve built a one-of-a-kind culture where we take exceptional care of our clients and each other. Though the work is challenging, it’s always approached with energy, empathy and optimism. And because we believe opportunity drives careers, you’ll tackle work that’s rewarding and engaging, helping you grow your capabilities with confidence.
Work With Purpose. Grow With Support.
Why Work at HawkPartners? Here are seven good reasons:
1. Expertise-Driven Marketing Consulting
We work at the intersection of customer insights, brand strategy and growth strategy to answer our clients’ most pressing business questions. Deep expertise enables a wide range of methodologies and highly tailored project approaches.
2. One-Title Organization
It’s in our name on purpose: Everyone is a Partner at HawkPartners. By emphasizing growth, teamwork and collective progress over titles or competition, our culture encourages both individual autonomy and true collaboration.
3. People, Equity & Inclusion
We believe a diverse workforce yields greater success and brings essential new ideas to the table. We strive to nurture diverse talent in our workforce, promote equity throughout our organization and cultivate an inclusive workplace culture.
4. Values-Driven Culture
The values we believe in drive everything we do. We champion collaboration, a team-first mentality, inclusivity, excellence, motivation and empowerment, and we’ve developed a workplace that encourages each of our Partners to embody these principles.
5. Training & Mentorship
Our Partners aren’t siloed — they train across functions and industries to maximize our expertise. We invest heavily in internal and external learning, and our structured advising program ensures steady development and consistent mentorship.
6. High Employee Retention
Our low Partner turnover limits gaps in project teams and fosters knowledge sharing. Two-thirds of full-time employees have been here 5+ years, allowing teams to grow together and with our clients.
7. Leading Beyond Consulting
We encourage Partners to organize and act on issues they’re passionate about, from sustainability to racial justice to social events. Partners work on internal teams to pursue firm-wide initiatives and lend significant input into firm strategy.
Partner Benefits
Our people are everything. Supporting them is central to who we are.
Team Building
There are HawkPartners offices in six cities across the US, offered as collaborative workspaces for those who want it, with flexible attendance requirements. A number of Partners work remotely from other areas, and Partners are also free to change offices or work from new locations as personal situations dictate.
Full home office setup — including internet, phone and technology — is covered for all Partners, regardless of their preferred work location.
We gather semi-annually for company retreats, support travel to other office locations for in-person collaboration, and provide opportunities to travel for client work. Partners also enjoy travel-related benefits like airport lounge access and Global Entry.
Wellness
The firm covers 100% of health insurance premiums.
We provide fully paid parental leave regardless of gender, as well as bereavement and sick leave for deaths and emergencies.
We provide a sizable monthly stipend for fitness, mental health and wellness.
Partners get unlimited sick days, a generous amount of vacation days, personal floating holidays and one month of additional paid “refresh” vacation after their tenure.
Growth
HawkPartners offers competitive salaries, plus significant bonus opportunities tied to firm performance.
Each team member participates in internal and external group training opportunities, and with a generous annual budget for individual external training and conferences.
The company makes profit-sharing contributions to each employee’s 401(k) retirement savings plan right away — with no match or vesting requirements.
The firm matches charitable donations up to $2,000 per year for each Partner. We empower our teammates to take active roles in their communities by supporting causes they care about and scheduling office-wide service days throughout the year.
