Job description

The opportunity
As a Consultant at Proxima, you will be part of client-facing teams delivering high-impact commercial, sourcing, and supplier initiatives. You will support the development of insights, contribute to solution design, and play an active role in delivering outcomes, not just recommendations.

This is not a passive learning role. At Proxima, we are practitioner-consultants. You will build experience quickly, take responsibility early, and work alongside clients to deliver real, measurable change.

What you’ll do

Support delivery across client engagements

  • Contribute to category management and sourcing activities, supporting strategy development and execution.

  • Assist with opportunity identification, supplier research, and commercial analysis.

  • Build structured fact bases that turn data into clear insights.

Analyze data to inform decisions

  • Use Excel and data analysis techniques to identify value, risk, and performance improvement opportunities.

  • Support benefits tracking and progress against delivery milestones.

  • Ensure analyses are accurate, structured, and decision-oriented.

Engage and collaborate with stakeholders

  • Work with client stakeholders to gather requirements and align objectives.

  • Communicate findings clearly and professionally with team members and clients.

  • Support workshops, working sessions, and day-to-day client interactions.

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

  • Experience in consulting, procurement, supply chain, or a related analytical role.

  • Experience supporting project delivery and managing stakeholder engagement across workstreams.

  • Strong analytical capability and confidence working with data.

Consulting mindset

  • Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills.

  • A proactive, ownership-oriented approach to your work.

  • Comfort operating in a fast-paced, delivery-focused environment.

Flexibility and growth orientation

  • Willingness to travel as required.

  • Curiosity, adaptability, and a strong desire to learn and develop.

  • Motivation to build a long-term consulting career in a growing global firm.
