Job description

We are looking for recent graduates and early career professionals to join our award-winning management consultancy based in Boston!

Do you have a passion for problem-solving?

Do you want to join a collaborative team with motivated people who will mentor you to be the best you can possibly be?

Do you want to join a dynamic and fast-growing firm in the US, looking for people to help build our US presence?

At Clarasys, we know we’re a fun and sociable company to work for because we have the awards to prove it. In the UK, our consistently high ranking in the top 100 Best Companies is partly down to our strong, supportive culture, training program, and the responsibility and trust we put in our people right from the start. This award-winning culture translates directly into our US team. See Case Studies of our work, here.

What do we do?

Clarasys is a fast-growing, independent management consultancy. We specialize in business analysis, change, digital transformation, customer experience and agile methodologies to deliver sustainable improvements. Based in Boston and London UK, Clarasys exists to make a lasting difference to the way people work, live, and grow.

For our clients (big and small, across a variety of sectors) that means collaborating with them to fix complex problems and improve their customers’ experience. We measure our success on client satisfaction.

For our people that means working in a company that is principled and does the right thing. We create opportunities that enable people to be at their best in a team-orientated, supportive environment.

For the world that means contributing to our community through pro bono work.

The training: We’ll set you up to be a great consultant during four weeks of interactive training based at our home office, London, UK. This training will be focused on all of the consulting skills you will need. This will include organized lunches and socials, you will get to know our team here at Clarasys as well as each other.

Early weeks: In weeks 5 & 6, you will return to the Boston office and you’ll be putting those skills into practice by looking at, and delivering on, specific ways we can make Clarasys even better. Our non-hierarchical and collaborative culture means you’ll work with people of all seniority across the business.

Delivering a pro bono project: During weeks 6-12, you’ll have the opportunity to deliver a real project for a charity. Previous clients have included The Prince’s Trust, Northeast Arc, and Marie Curie Cancer Care. Whilst you’ll have an experienced consultant with you for support, you’ll be planning and delivering the work - taking responsibility early on.

Working with clients: From week 13 onwards, you will be involved in delivering client-facing work. With continuous support from us (including meeting your coach once a week and further training), you will rapidly develop your skills and grow into a capable and talented consultant.

Our ideal candidates will:

• Have a stellar academic record so they can grapple with the intellectual complexity of consulting projects.


• Be problem solvers and enjoy the challenge of taking on a problem and having the responsibility for solving it.


• Be analytical in the way they tackle issues by using data and information to understand and fix them.


• Have strong communication skills so they can build trust and solve clients’ problems.


• Be proactive and inquisitive and be able to take responsibility for making things happen. Successful candidates will also have a willingness to learn and grasp new skills and concepts.


• Value team over individual and always believe that multiple brains will be more effective. As a team player, you will enjoy and thrive on working in a collaborative environment.


• Be confident in handling difficult or unexpected situations in order to manage the ambiguity and changing environment of consulting projects.


• Be interested in developing project management, business analytics, data analytics, and change management skills to round out your consulting skill set.


• Apply own judgement when using AI
