Job Description

Our graduate opportunities have a strong record of establishing early career foundations and developing well-rounded industry skills in our Associate Consultants.

You will work on a diverse mix of international projects with the best-known brands in the industry, applying our deep domain expertise and methodology to solve complex business issues.

You will attend our comprehensive training programme where you will learn essential consulting skills and industry knowledge through courses, networking and teamwork.

After completing the training, you will join project teams and provide strategic advice and high-quality analysis on all aspects of strategy planning, transaction support, regulation and policy while continuing your professional development.

Because our project teams are small, you will regularly get direct exposure to our world-class TMT experts, not only in your office, but also across our global locations. You will receive hands-on mentoring from experienced members of the team, including our Partners.

Our culture is collaborative and team-oriented, and you will have an impact on project delivery from an early stage, which will provide a steep learning curve and a structured career progression.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• conducting high-quality research
• offering quantitative and qualitative analysis of that research
• gathering and interpreting numerical data
• modelling and forecasting using various pieces of software
• presenting your main findings in written, graphical and live form
• contributing to proposal creation and client meetings
• collaborating with other teams across our global locations
• developing deep sector knowledge
• and more.

Qualifications

If you are a problem-solver who is critical and analytical in your approach, then this is the right job for you.

You must have graduated by September 2026, or earlier, and you must have a degree from any academic background (including STEM, Humanities and others) from a top tier university.

You must enjoy working with numbers as we are a quantitative data-driven business.

As long as you are keen to learn about the sector, you do not need to have a TMT background. As a matter of fact, many of our consultants only became TMT experts after joining us.

You must be fluent in English.
