Then you might be just the Associate Strategy Consultant we’re looking for!

As our client portfolio continues to grow, specialising in the development of consumer-centric strategies that effectively integrate creativity and data to cultivate valuable relationships between consumers and brands, we are seeking an Associate Strategy Consultant to join our highly engaged, skilled, and expanding Customer & Business Strategy Consulting team.

What will your day look like?

You will spend most of your time with client teams, and the focus of your assignments will include participation in work sessions, building business cases, performing research as well as collecting and consolidating data to conduct analyses of client businesses, audiences, technological and cultural trends.

Typically, you will refer to - and work alongside - a lead consultant on specific projects, but you will be given significant responsibility for your contributions. Your doer mentality and ability to interact with people will be the key to success in the team where you will contribute to the establishment of our offerings and ways of working. More specifically, your tasks include:

• Contributing to the development of business cases, recommendations and solutions in an impactful and engaging manner.
• Supporting business development initiatives and projects across multiple clients and various industries.

• Managing the day-to-day project deliverables.

Who are you going to work with?

You will join a team of highly skilled consultants and become part of a dynamic and international environment where you will get plenty of opportunity to develop your personal and professional skills.

Your work will depend on collaboration with the broader team, which means you will get to collaborate closely with experts and professionals from our technology, data, creative, and client teams from our offices all over the world. We are a leader within our field and are a transformation partner for some of the most admired brands in the world.

What do you bring to the table?

As a person, you are positive, outgoing and a sociable team player with a self-starter and can-do mentality. You find energy in creating, yet you are structured and have a strong grasp of detail. You possess a strong ability to collect and analyze qualitative and quantitative data, establish insights and draw valid conclusions with a strong storyline.

With your level of reasoning, you can interpret an extensive variety of instructions in various forms and deals, with several abstract and concrete variables. You are strong on building relations and managing stakeholders, and in addition you have:

• A relevant master's degree; preferably within Business or Economics.
• 3 years of strategy or consulting experience from leading firms with a focus on crafting clients’ customer/commercial/sales/marketing/service strategies and implementing relevant business and technology transformations.
• A demonstrated ability to work in complex environments both independently and as part of a team.
• Exceptional writing, presentation and interpersonal communication skills
• A high level of proficiency in the use of Excel and PowerPoint
