Joining our consulting team now offers diverse career opportunities as we focus on enhancing our solutions, expanding our team, embracing a digital-first approach, strengthening our global presence, and building strong client relationships.

The Consulting Digital Team (CDT) serves as the digital hub of our consulting operations, transforming complex data into actionable business intelligence. This specialized unit applies digital skills across all six of our consulting solutions: Deal Services, Business Transformation, Risk and Governance, Finance Function Support, Restructuring, and Forensic & Investigation Services.

The team provides comprehensive analytical support, including advanced data analytics, visualization, automation, and AI. They work closely with consulting teams to translate business challenges into analytical, data-driven solutions.

Members of the CDT possess diverse skills spanning data science, business analysis, data analytics, and programming, enabling them to tackle complex problems with innovative solutions that enhance internal operations and client outcomes.

You will make an impact by:

• Working closely with clients in the Deal Services part of the CDT team, establishing trust and credibility quickly.
• Being a team player with a 'can do' attitude, experienced in leading teams, managing others, and upskilling junior members.
• Being a problem solver, creative thinker, and self-starter, organized, proactive, and able to manage multiple project deadlines.
• Supporting transactions by developing data-driven solutions, managing analytics-led due diligence, vendor assist, M&A, and value creation support for mid-market investors and fast-growth businesses.
• Contributing to client proposals, presentations, and business development, serving as a trusted advisor in analyzing and solving business challenges.

What we are looking for:

If you thrive on challenges, enjoy learning, and connecting with people, and if you have a passion for data-led solutions, this role is ideal for you.

Our ideal candidate has:

• A strong academic record, preferably with a relevant or business-focused degree (e.g., business, data analytics, computer science, information systems).
• A chartered accountancy qualification or similar (e.g., ACA, ICAS, ACCA, CIMA).
• Significant experience delivering data analytics engagements within professional services, transaction advisory, consulting, or corporate finance, using tools like Alteryx, Power Query, or similar.
• Proven ability to manage full project lifecycles from scoping to delivery and reporting, with strong stakeholder management skills.
• Experience analyzing financial and operational data to support transactions or investments.
• Effective interaction with internal and external resources at all levels.
• Ability to meet deadlines and handle multiple projects simultaneously.
