Management Consultant Cover Letter [Full Sample]
Here’s a full Management Consultant Cover Letter sample, which we wrote for a client recently.
[If you know the name of the Hiring Manager, personalise your application by addressing the person directly. Job ads on LinkedIn, for example, display the name of the person posting the ad.]
It is with great enthusiasm that I submit my application for the position of Management Consultant with ABC Consulting’s Technology Practice. I’m inspired by fresh challenges – I’ve always run towards problems, and have never been one to shy away. The process of analysing a problem, breaking it down, and inventing a solution is incredibly satisfying to me. This passion led me into consulting with XYZ Company, where I’ve specialised as a Technology Management Consultant. [Consulting is a competitive industry! To gain an edge over your competitors, you can talk about your unique motivations and passions, and how these align with the potential job or industry.]
Today, I develop technology-driven solutions that solve business challenges, enable radical new business models, and bring innovative products to market. I’m fascinated by technology – what it makes possible for businesses, and its transformative impact on how businesses deliver value. These are the kinds of challenges I look to tackle with ABC Consulting, leveraging my technology expertise.
The Management Consultant role in the Technology Practice, with its mix of expertise development and client service, strongly appeals to me, and I believe my background is especially well suited to it. Over the past 6+ years, I’ve shaped business and technology strategies for government entities and MNCs, consulted on innovation and digital transformation, established emerging technologies, assembled teams, launched operations, and managed agile projects. [Provide an overview of your work experiences, and highlight your top skills. Ensure these are directly relevant to the job ad and role requirements.]
Among my achievements, I’m most proud of having helped pioneer a U.S. Blockchain Lab for NMO Company (founded and launched blockchain lab, project worth US$1.5M), and advised the Australia government on blockchain technology strategy (deployed across 8+ independent government bodies, valued at US$1M). [Single out your best achievements. Providing metrics is key to substantiate your accomplishments and prove your abilities.]
I am thrilled at the possibility of being part of such a renowned company, and would love the opportunity to meet with you to discuss the value that I can bring to ABC Consulting. I appreciate your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you. Please feel free to contact me at any time via mobile at +61 12 6543 8765 or by email at name@gmail.com. [Finally, cap your Cover Letter with a call-to-action – show your excitement to meet your potential employer, and provide ways you can be contacted.]
Yours sincerely,
Jasper Cooper
About the Management Consultant Role
A Management Consultant is essentially a problem solver commissioned by businesses, organisations and government entities to help improve their performance and operation.
In some firms, the role focuses on a single industry, while others have a broad scope or specialise in certain areas of business such as human resources, financial restructuring or information technology.
Even with extensive experience in multiple industries and areas of business, a Management Consultant typically ends up specialising in a particular industry or area – in the case of this Cover Letter example, this candidate specialises in digital transformation and technology.
The Management Consultant role also demands exceptional communication skills – you’ll often have to engage with stakeholders across organisational levels, from C-Suite level executives to their employees, and members of your own team.
What Hiring Managers Look for in Management Consultant Cover Letters
- Consulting is a hyper competitive industry. Share why you’re passionate about the role, and what drives and motivates you. Be sure to emphasise these if they align with the firm’s own purpose or values.
- Display your breadth and depth of expertise. If you’re a generalist, mention the types of clients you’ve worked for, industries and markets you’ve experience in. If you have a certain industry or business specialisation, highlight your deep familiarity in this area through the specific projects you’ve led or worked on.
- Show you’re an effective problem solver. As a Management Consultant, you must be skilled at identifying business challenges, AND developing and implementing effective strategies. But, it’s not enough to just say that you’ve effectively helped businesses improve their performance or operations. You must…
- Single out your best achievements – metrics are crucial! Use numbers to prove the success of your strategies and their application, and your capability in managing large-scale projects.

How Long Does The Process Take?
You’ll receive a 1st Draft within 3 working days of your phone interview. If you need a CV urgently, you can order our express delivery option (subject to availability). You’ll then receive the 1st Draft within 1 working day of the phone interview.
Once you have the 1st Draft, you’ll have 10 working days of unlimited revisions. Depending on your needs, you can finalise your documents anytime during that window.
What Happens After I Pay?
You’ll receive a short email requesting your current resume documents, and answers to a few basic background questions. One of our Resume Writing Consultants, specialised in your field, will then email you to schedule a phone interview. If you’re overseas, we’ll make an international call to a number of your choosing.
Who Will Be Writing My Resume?
A Resume Writer specialised in your field will be assigned to your case. Your Writer will have a deep understanding of your industry, and will be able to identify key strengths to highlight and job search strategies to follow.
How Many Drafts Can I Have?
We allow unlimited revisions for up to 10 working days. During this period you can email your Resume Consultant as many times as you need, and discuss any edits and updates you feel necessary. The unlimited resume revisions period starts on the day you receive your 1st Draft.

Do I Need A Cover Letter?
Some job advertisements require the candidate to submit a Cover Letter. For job ads that don’t require one, you can typically still submit an optional Cover Letter.
