Company profile

Start your career with PA Consulting Group

PA Consulting Group is a leading management and IT consulting and technology firm. Independent and employee owned, we operate globally in more than 30 countries and transform the performance of major organisations in both the private and public sectors. We look to hire exceptional people and provide them with opportunities that they will not find elsewhere. We offer a career in consulting, not just a job; a stake in our firm; and an environment where individuals and ideas matter.

Why join us?

Here in PA, we offer significant responsibility early on and put a premium on autonomy of career direction and development. There is rapid progression for high performers and a clear career path supported by excellent training and development.

Your role as a graduate Analyst will be diverse and involve supporting consultancy teams on projects. Typical activities can include gathering and manipulating information, presenting conclusions to the rest of the team, managing project plans, assessing risks and issues, or documenting client requirements. This is to name but a few of your roles, as your duties will be ever changing as you work in tandem with the clients requirements.

As a graduate your first two weeks with PA will be an intensive residential training programme, where you will join other new Analysts from other practices and offices around the world. This programme will equip you with an understanding of our culture and values, give you grounding in consulting skills and the knowledge needed as an Analyst. The programme will also help you begin to develop the practical skills needed for working with clients on assignment.

What we look for

An excellent academic record is essential, as is the ability to work cooperatively with others and present yourself and your ideas effectively and persuasively. You will also need a high degree of drive and tenacity in order to achieve your goals. Ambition and business acumen are vital. We recognise that diversity is strength and that the differences between people add value to our organisation. PA Consulting Group is committed to equality and diversity and positively welcomes applications from suitably qualified candidates from all backgrounds, regardless of sex, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, religion or age.

Your role as an Analyst will differ, depending on which of these business areas you work in.
