Consultant - Development Program 2025

84.51°

Consultant – Development Program

Location Option(s): Cincinnati, OH
Cohort Start Date(s): January 27, 2025 & June 16, 2025 

This program is in-office, with no remote options.

 

SUMMARY:

Consultants at 84.51° make Kroger customers' lives easier by being their champion and amplifying their voice.  By uncovering data-based insights, 84.51° Consultants keep the customer at the center of all they do - identifying problems, developing solutions, influencing action, and evaluating the impact on customers.  84.51° Consultants build relationships with stakeholders at Kroger, with Kroger’s supplier partners, and internally at 84.51° in order to influence data-driven business decisions, marketing, and media strategies.

84.51° is divided into two models made up of cross-functional teams: the Kroger model and the Commercial model.  These models are named for their core stakeholders and priorities, and consultants on both sides require a core set of skills - critical thinking, transformational consulting, and strong business, commercial, tool, and process acumen.  While in the Development Program, you will have the opportunity to build and strengthen these core consulting skills as well as showcase your unique talents.  You’ll accomplish this through completing trainings, case studies, and real-time project work from areas within both the Kroger and Commercial models.  After completion of the program, you will be placed onto one of six Business Teams:

Kroger Model

  • Merchandising Analytics
    • Help transform Kroger’s merchandising organization using best-in-class science, tools, and insights
  • Operations & Supply Chain
    • Optimize Kroger’s upstream logistics using industry leading science, data capabilities, and curated analytics
  • Personalization & Loyalty Strategy
    • Create a better shopping experience for Kroger customers through strategic innovation and rewards

Commercial Model

  • Media
    • Create a more accountable media supply chain that increases awareness and effectiveness of investment dollars
  • Insights & Loyalty
    • Enable 84.51° growth by extending relationships with suppliers through insights and loyalty offerings
  • Ventures/Commercial Platforms
    • Identify, evaluate, pilot, and scale new areas of growth leveraging 84.51°/Kroger enterprise capabilities

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM:

 Consultants in the Development Program have cohorts starting in January and June at our Cincinnati, OH Headquarters.

During your first 10 weeks, you will complete 84.51°’s intensive “jumpstart” onboarding program consisting of classroom trainings and case study exercises.  After “jumpstart,” you will apply what you’ve learned by working on projects sourced from all areas of the 84.51° organization.  Those experiences, which include both tactical and strategic components, will prepare you with the knowledge and skills necessary to successfully engage and add value to our Kroger and Commercial clients.  You will then be assigned to a team based on your skills and the needs of the business.  Great care is taken to ensure this first step in your 84.51° career is one in which you will contribute to the business while also continuing your personal development.

84.51° Demographic Questions

Together, we are stronger and can achieve more

At 84.51°, we believe a diverse and inclusive work environment is essential to the work we do as a data science company. Just as no two Kroger customers are alike, no two 84.51° associates are alike. We understand the importance of fostering an inclusive culture: to encourage our associates to bring their authentic selves to work – embracing who they are and celebrating what they can become.

We continually strive to ensure 84.51° is a place where all people feel like they belong, are respected and valued regardless of who they are, where they are from and what experiences they’ve had. By meeting our 3-year D&I roadmap goals and commitments, we will continue our journey towards becoming a destination for diverse, driven, and authentic minds.
