Associate Consultant

Join OC&C as a graduate and we’ll make you an Associate Consultant and assign you to a project team straightaway. It will be small – way smaller than the industry average - so you'll have to pull your weight from day one. You could be working in any sector facing any kind of challenge: grappling with growth, advising on a merger or acquisition, developing corporate strategy or planning major organisational change. You'll be working directly with colleagues and clients at all levels, and will be expected to contribute fully: brainstorming, discussing analyses, making recommendations, building relationships.

Projects tend to be fast, furious and brief, so you'll rapidly gain experience across a wide range of challenges and sectors. Learning the ropes takes time, but progress depends entirely on personal performance. At OC&C, insight and creativity trump tenure - meritocracy isn't just a word; it's how we make our living.

Working at OC&C

We recruit people at all stages of their careers, with your starting level determined by the experience and skills you bring to the table. We look for high levels of intellectual curiosity, strong analytical and creative abilities, excellent communication and leadership skills, and an enthusiastic commitment to the entrepreneurial and participative culture that is the hallmark of OC&C.

We have no 'back room', no easy option for those lacking talent or drive. Everyone is on the front line, in a genuine meritocracy where the atmosphere is informal but focused, collaborative yet competitive enough to bring out the best in all of our consultants. Our people are constantly learning, constantly stretched and constantly stimulated by new challenges. You can expect early responsibility and as much progress as you can handle.
