• Sales: focused on building and developing commercial relationships
• Consulting: delivering outcome-based work for clients with a clear return
• Recruitment: leading on senior talent delivery and managing hiring processes
• People Engagement (PMO): managing project delivery, consultant experience, and client satisfaction

What we’re looking for

• A 2:1 degree or equivalent with extra-curricular achievements that show your drive
• Some post-uni experience (grad scheme, industry role, or other relevant work)
• Clear examples of resilience and desire to excel - through work, sport, leadership, or personal projects
• Attention to detail, a willingness to learn fast, and a proactive mindset
• Good communicator, comfortable engaging with senior professionals

What we offer

• Competitive salary & performance-based bonus
• 25 days holiday (rising to 30 with service), plus bank holidays
• Vitality healthcare (with enhanced mental health cover), half-price gym, People's Pension Scheme
• Life assurance at 2x salary
• Training, mentorship, and progression into a defined career track
