• Not just intelligence, but creativity too: you’ll be ready to come up with novel ideas to solve our clients’ biggest problems


• Have an aptitude for analytical work, like sniffing out clues in massive data sets or hunting down the key issues in a hugely complex challenge


• A willingness to work fluidly and respectfully with our incredibly talented team
