Associate Business Advisor - London, United Kingdom - Quick Release_

Description

QR's reputation for product data management and consultancy has put us at the vanguard of transforming the automotive, aerospace and robotics industries across the globe, as they seek to build better products and a more sustainable future.

As a team, we are particularly excited to be supporting the development of some truly planet-changing products, including connected, electric and solar vehicles and an increasingly diverse range of new technologies.

With more new and exciting projects in development, we are currently seeking to strengthen our consultancy project delivery team.

If you're looking for the next step in your career in consultancy or project management, we can offer you interesting, exciting and impactful projects, a genuinely positive and caring company culture, great learning and progression, and products that are both ground-breaking and good for the planet.

Every project is different, and our consultants are empowered to leverage their judgment and expertise to solve a broad range of clients' challenges.

Usually starting with a diagnostic, these projects very often rapidly scale-up into much larger hands-on, cross-functional deployments, blending analytics and reporting with project management and software implementation.
