Graduate - Junior Strategy / Research Consultant

We've grown considerably over the last few years and have successfully opened multiple new services across the country.

The decision of where to open or acquire new services still remains a fine balance of industry insight, data driven analysis and traditional communication and relationships skills.

This is where your role fits in. We need you to assist our Strategy team by creating and maintaining a database of nationwide supply and demand for the services we provide and review potential acquisition targets. Additionally you'll support our Business Development teams with ad hoc research and analysis as required.

This is principally a research and analysis role. We'll arm you with the brief, the tools and the direction - you'll gather the data, speak to the relevant people (externally and internally) and provide all the relevant analysis, information and feedback to a wide range of internal stakeholders.

This would be a great role for a confident, data-driven Graduate who's not afraid to ask questions and deliver reports. If you have the skills for the big 4 but felt/feel that they were too corporate/limited for you; then please do get in touch
