At Partners in Performance, being a Performance Strategy Associate is not about writing reports, or standing up and presenting them. It’ about the results.

It is why our clients around the world choose us, and why we choose a certain type of person to fill our key roles. Like this one:

Now that you're completing your academic career – and have had a few years in a professional role – you will be looking for the opportunity to turn your insights into business results. As a Partners in Performance – Performance Strategy Associate those results could impact some of the world’s largest companies.

This role combines analysis with outcomes in a way that will challenge and develop you– all the time with the full support and mentoring of your fellow Partners in Performance colleagues. Once the recommendations built on your analysis are agreed to, you can expect to collaborate with clients from the shop floor to the C-suite to help make them happen.
