This is an experienced early-career role designed to build strong consulting foundations while contributing meaningfully to real client outcomes. This is not a passive learning role.

Work in a global, flexible model

  • Operate in a hybrid environment, balancing client, home, and office-based work.

  • Travel as required to support client delivery and team collaboration.

What you bring
Experience and skills

  • 1 to 2 years of experience in consulting, procurement, supply chain, or a related analytical role; degree in a related field with a proven understanding of these categories.

  • An understanding of how to support project delivery and help with team engagement across workstreams

  • Strong analytical capability and confidence working with data.
