Our Consulting practice is focused on results, supporting our clients in solving important problems so that they can transform their business. We use our understanding of how business works and a knowledge of how the right technology in the right place can create competitive advantage.
Our clients’ needs are what lead our thinking and drive our ambition. Our goal is to be our clients first choice on the issues that matter most because we deliver outcomes that matter. Clients might want us to help them manage disruption and transform their business to adapt in an ever changing world, or draw up a sustainability strategy that aligns their commercial objectives with broader environmental and social concerns.
We work with clients across the Financial Services, Government and Health Industries and the Private Sector and include household names from Government Departments, NHS Trusts, retailers, banks, multinational telecoms operators and energy companies.
You’ll get to work closely with the best in industry, finance and Government in the UK and collaborate with clients and colleagues globally, bringing fresh insights and motivation to the problems they face.
Strategy&
Strategy& is our Strategy Consulting practice. You’ll work on interesting and varied assignments – from helping a company identify attractive new markets, advising a private equity client on game‑changing investments, to supporting industry leaders solve their toughest corporate and mergers and acquisitions challenges.
We organise ourselves into two market-winning teams – Corporate Strategy and Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) Strategy. Both our teams work together with clients on long-term strategic issues. We work together to bring the best to our clients, and we offer a unique, powerful, and distinctive combination of capabilities that allows us to develop and deliver world-class strategies.
As a graduate you’ll be aligned to our Corporate Strategy team, but occasionally you’ll experience working in both as we often resource projects together, providing you the opportunity to transfer your skills across our Strategy& practice.
As we return to normal, you will have opportunities to work abroad on global projects or to do an international secondment.
Corporate Strategy
Corporate Strategy works with the most senior members of organisations to help them answer their most strategic questions. As part of our team of problem solvers and creative thinkers you’ll put your analytical skills to the test, creating strategic solutions to address the complex challenges faced by business leaders across all industry sectors, where no two problems are the same.
Our projects tend to be between a few weeks and months, enabling you to work on projects across many different industry sectors in your first year to build your exposure and experience quickly.
Programme
Our graduate training programme is underpinned by a development framework that broadens and deepens your knowledge. You'll learn from hands-on coaching and an outstanding variety of work, picking up business, personal and technical skills you can use across the network, and throughout your career.
What you’ll do
As an Associate you’ll work with your team to create new approaches to difficult problems, bringing a new perspective compared to your seniors. Depending on the project, you may be required to develop and deliver presentations, analyse large quantities of data, conduct interviews with subject matter experts, or more. Every day will bring about new opportunities and challenges, and no two projects are the same.
What you’ll gain
Our graduate programme offers an invaluable experience, with structured training and a real focus on your personal development.
