Job Description & Summary

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.

Management Consulting
Transformation is in our DNA. Our unique combination of strategy, technology and management consulting expertise positions us as the go-to specialists for strategy-led, digitally-enabled, results-driven transformation programmes.

Through transformation, we improve the way our clients operate; manage costs; better align people, process and technology initiatives; support business growth to maintain or improve competitive edge. In doing so, we focus on their strategic objectives and the big issues they need to deal with, both today and in the future.

You can choose to start in Management Consulting, where you'll develop your core consulting and technical skills and gain a breadth of experience through a variety of roles, either across industries or engagements.
