Your career starts on Magnet.me

Create a profile and receive smart job recommendations based on your liked jobs.

As an analyst, you will be employed full time based out of our London office. A unique development opportunity in consulting, the role provides apprenticeship and support from the very best independent consultants, learning from their deep and varied experience across consulting and industry, and significant collaboration with clients.

You will work closely with our independent consultants, who have backgrounds from the top traditional strategy firms such as McKinsey, Bain and BCG, as well as track records in industry. You will be exposed to a variety of industry sectors and functions, obtaining a broad insight into the key strategic issues leading companies are facing. In addition, you will work with partners and senior staff of Eden McCallum to support our business development efforts as we seek to grow our business and increase our international footprint.

You will have the opportunity to stretch yourself, develop a strong business grounding, and build your professional skills – all the while, in a fast-paced commercial environment. Our structured training programme will equip you with the tools and skills required to be a successful strategy consultant and to set you up for success, including:

§ Problem definition and problem solving approaches

§ Qualitative and quantitative research techniques

§ Analysis and business modelling skills

§ Communication and presentation skills

§ Managing client and stakeholder relationships

You will also be equipped with a ‘toolkit’ that enables you to rapidly add value to our clients from the very start. You will begin with a three-week induction, including project shadowing and formal training delivered by external and internal trainers and facilitators. The initial training focuses on problem solving, communication skills and delivering for personal impact, among other core competences. Subsequent regular training sessions cover topics such as excel modelling, financial accounting, presentation skills, problem solving and developing your interpersonal skills. All sessions will focus on developing you as a consultant in addition to promoting personal development.

A key element of the analyst role is coaching and on-the-job development, both on internal assignments and client-based projects. You will receive regular informal and formal feedback and coaching throughout and at the end of each project and assignment. In addition, you will be assigned a mentor who will oversee your development throughout your career with us.

While working as an analyst, you will be based in central London but will be expected to travel as required for periods when working on client engagements. Working in small teams, you will be given responsibility for delivering elements of our client and internal projects, as well as being expected to contribute to the wider problem solving effort. Key tasks will include:

§ Understanding the client context and key issues through data gathering and interviews with clients and experts

§ Researching and understanding key industry trends and market information

§ Analysing, interpreting, synthesising and clearly presenting data, drawing out key messages and relevant insights

§ Working with Eden McCallum and client team members to derive conclusions and develop recommendations

Our analysts have the opportunity to stay with Eden McCallum for a number of years, taking on more senior roles as they progress and develop their consulting skills. After an initial 2 years, strong performers are promoted, with the strongest performers achieving a further promotion after an additional 2-3 years. In each role, you are encouraged to stretch yourself, further broadening and deepening your consulting ‘toolkit’. Your time with us will help you identify and better understand the industries and functions that you’re excited about pursuing more deeply. Your mentor, and the wider group of partners and staff, will help you grow and will support you in planning and transitioning to your next career opportunity. Recent leavers have had the opportunity to join specialist consultancies, strategy departments within industry, start-ups and private equity firms.
