    With a good understanding and appreciation of the role and value of purpose

    Experience of working alone and as part of team to drive strategy

    Strategic thinking – it is the quality of our client's strategic response which perhaps more than anything creates value for their clients, in turn this is founded on the forensic research and investigation. So a Brand Strategy Consultant needs to be both analytical and creative – as well as inquisitive, well-informed and genuinely fascinated by each new client challenge. You'll love the intellectual challenge of finding the right solution, to challenge accepted ways of doing things, and not afraid to defend new ideas if it's right for the client.

    Client management – your role will be client facing, you'll need to be articulate and astute, empathetic and intuitive. Used to working with senior people, you'll need to be adaptable and resilient, persuasive and a true problem solver.

    The successful candidate will join a highly innovative and pioneering consultancy in an influential role. There is ample scope to grow and expand the position and fast track career advancement is encouraged.

    Career Coaching

    You might also be interested in Rare Coaching which focuses on career coaching. There is a lot of flexibility in how this service works and we are able to adapt to a variety of client needs. So for example, some people find they need lots of help at the initial stages of 'what's next?' and so we work with them to generate ideas, explore who they are and what matters most to them. Other people already have an idea of what they want to do and so the focus of the coaching sessions is more about how they achieve that.

    We're happy to arrange an initial, no fee conversation to explore how Career Coaching might help you. Please contact
