Job description

6 days ago Be among the first 25 applicants

QR's reputation for product data management and consultancy has put us at the vanguard of transforming the automotive, aerospace and robotics industries across the globe, as they seek to build better products and a more sustainable future. As a team, we are particularly excited to be supporting the development of some truly planet-changing products, including connected, electric and solar vehicles and an increasingly diverse range of new technologies.

With more new and exciting projects in development, we are currently seeking to strengthen our consultancy project delivery team. If you're looking for the next step in your career in consultancy or project management, we can offer you interesting, exciting and impactful projects, a genuinely positive and caring company culture, great learning and progression, and products that are both ground-breaking and good for the planet.

Quick Release Consultants deliver varied and complex engagements for companies who are looking to get their new technology to market fast and more efficiently.

Every project is different, and our consultants are empowered to leverage their judgment and expertise to solve a broad range of clients' challenges.

Usually starting with a diagnostic, these projects very often rapidly scale-up into much larger hands-on, cross-functional deployments, blending analytics and reporting with project management and software implementation.

Our continued growth means we have opportunities for consultancy expertise across a range of UK locations with a range of 2025 start dates.

Why QR_ Consulting?

• Influence a wide range of industries, from autonomous robotics, to green energy technologies, to electric vehicle start-ups, all over the world
• Work with C-suite stakeholders and senior consultants from day one
• Be part of a close knit, supportive team in a wellbeing-focussed company, where you're measured on your impact, not your timesheet
  
  
  

The Challenge

• Work with clients to develop a deep insight into people, process, system and data, to complete diagnostics and reporting
• Develop strong relationships and become a trusted and knowledgeable advisor to clients
• Shape solutions, propose project plans and support cross-functional and cross-business resources to deliver desired outcomes
• Support deployments and development and of our technical/software tools and solutions
• Own your own workstream and motivate a talented team of analysts and consultants to deliver transformative results
• Attend and contribute to regular washups and knowledge shares with other consultants
• Support the wide range of (QR internal) business improvement projects and initiatives (eg team building, events, CSR, diversity, pride, mental health, innovation labs, sports and music)
• Time spent on-site with clients has huge value, so travel is an important part of the role. We try to keep it local, but if further afield, you'll always be home for Friday evenings. We also host regular Friday workshops at our offices in London to review our projects and connect with the team
