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. In both teams you will work with top-tier public and private sector clients from a range of industries, and in our M&A Strategy team you may also work alongside private equity firms and other investors.
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.
M&A Strategy
M&A Strategy works with top global businesses to develop innovative strategies, sometimes in the context of a transaction. This means you will get to work with both global corporations as well as private equity firms and other investors across all sectors. With us, you will get to know the key value drivers of a company quickly, combining your analytical skills with creative problem-solving.
Our projects tend to be four to six weeks long, so you’ll typically do ten plus projects across different sectors in your first year, broadening your expertise.
As a graduate you’ll be aligned to one of our two teams, but you’ll experience working in both as we often resource projects together. This is most common at the junior levels as beyond this individuals are more strongly aligned to their allocated team. This provides you with the opportunity to transfer your skills across our Strategy& practice. Our teams 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.
