Job description

If you're working in consulting and feel like you're spending more time building slides than solving client problems, this could be worth a look.

I'm working with a growing boutique strategy consultancy that's expanding its Technology, Media & Telecommunications practice and is looking to hire several Associates. The firm advises leading corporates, investors and high-growth businesses on growth strategy, market entry, commercial due diligence and strategic transformation projects.

What makes this opportunity stand out is the level of responsibility given to Associates. Rather than being buried several layers below the client, you'll work directly with senior stakeholders, lead meaningful workstreams and have a visible impact on project outcomes from day one.

This could be a great move if you're currently:

• Frustrated by slow promotion cycles and limited progression opportunities
• Finding yourself too far removed from clients and commercial decision-making
• Looking for broader project exposure beyond a single niche or industry vertical
• Wanting more ownership and responsibility without waiting years for it
• Interested in building deeper expertise within technology, media and telecoms
• Tired of excessive travel and attracted to a more sustainable consulting model.

The team is looking for consultants with roughly 3-4 years' experience who can:

• Structure and solve complex business problems
• Build robust quantitative and qualitative analyses
• Present findings confidently to senior stakeholders
• Thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment

In return, you'll gain exposure to high-profile strategic work, significant client interaction, strong mentorship and a clear route for career progression within a growing firm.
