LEAVE YOUR MARK ON A BETTER WORLD.
COLLABORATE WITH AMAZING PEOPLE.
MAKE CHANGE HAPPEN.
At North Highland, we believe in doing great things together. With you. With our clients. With a perspective on actions today that shape tomorrow. As the world’s most innovative, collaborative consulting group, we’ve built a space to share ideas like never before. Do you have the skills, passion and commitment to transform industries for the better? Think you can bring your A-game every day? If so, join us. We like big thinkers with action on the brain…
Are you interested in Management Consulting? Wondering what it’s like to work for an industry-leading consulting firm? During your placement within North Highland’s Academy, you’ll be able to add value in a variety of different ways. The Academy is a team of self-starters who enjoy learning on-the-job and working through ambiguity. So, if you're in your penultimate year and wish to build upon your confidence, soft skills and consultancy skills, North Highland is the place for you!
Why North Highland? Every choice you make will give you the opportunity to grow. It’s our employee ownership model - with plenty of coaching and personal development opportunities in the mix. For us, training doesn’t have an off switch. You’ll learn new things, both during and beyond traditional working hours. We want people who strive for the next level, then the next.
At North Highland, you’re never a number. Our firm is large enough to scale up, test your mettle and tackle big challenges, but small enough that clients won’t lose your face in a crowd. You’re recognized individually.
We started as three leaders and a kitchen table. Which means we know expectations are made to be broken. Want to surprise us? Do it. Experiment and stretch yourself. There’s room to grow as a budding entrepreneur.
Exciting work you will do: during your placement year you will spend the majority of your time working on client-sites as part of small, intimate teams. Roles and responsibilities will vary from project to project, however they are likely to involve:

- Playing a critical role in contributing to the delivery of client engagements

- Be in your penultimate year of study and available for 12 months
- A genuine interest in consulting, business and technology
- Creative thinking and ability to seek innovative solutions to complex technical/business problems
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills, the ability to interact effectively with clients and build relationships
