Job Description

Joining Wavestone puts you at the forefront of helping some of the world's leading organisations to develop strategies and take the right operational decisions in the key area of digital transformation. With a focus on Cybersecurity and Operational Resilience, Communication Networks, Agile Transformation, Cloud Adoption and Strategic Sourcing, you will help clients develop new IT capabilities, innovate, and become more competitive. The quality of our people and their in-depth subject knowledge sets us apart from the competition.

At Wavestone, we live by four key values – Audacity (be bold in the face of challenge and don't be afraid to speak out and think out of the box), Passion (enjoying what you do and displaying an enduring commitment to reach the best outcome), Exemplary Behaviour (going above and beyond and role modelling for others) and Team Spirit (working collaboratively and understanding that the team is greater than the sum of its parts).

The Graduate Programme

You will be joining the business as a Consulting Analyst. The 12-month programme will equip you with the skills, knowledge, and experience to progress to become a Consultant in the business. You will receive formal training and mentoring directly from our senior level consultants, but the emphasis is on hands-on client involvement and practical experience that will build your capability and relationships towards a successful portfolio of engagements. As you progress, you will get the opportunity to specialise yourself towards any of our key areas of excellence. Being a large company with an entrepreneurial mindset, we find it important that your development plan is shaped to suit your needs and thus within the first few weeks of starting you'll sit down with your career development manager and design a plan that will make sure you get the most out of the programme.

How your career will develop

As a Consultant you will take responsibility for the delivery of client assignments. As you build your reputation and capability, the scope of responsibility will increase as you begin to lead on client engagements and business development activity.
