We recruit people at all levels based on merit.

We are interested in consultants with experience across parts of the Telecommunications, Media and Technology (TMT) ecosystem, who combine strong consulting fundamentals with curiosity about how digital, data, automation and AI are shaping organisations. 

This may include experience or interest in areas such as:

Alongside this knowledge, we look for strong consulting skills and a delivery mindset, including: 

• Experience supporting strategy and transformation delivery within TMT organisations 
• Exposure and experience of delivering end‑to‑end change, not just stand‑alone analysis 
• Comfort working alongside digital tools, data and AI, without needing to be a technical specialist

• Clear communication skills, particularly when explaining digital or AI‑related concepts to non‑technical stakeholders
