Associate Consultant 2027-28 – Strategy London Office Overview

Join OC&C Strategy Consultants as an Associate Consultant in our London office for the 2027-28 period. We are seeking talented graduates who are eager to engage in a dynamic consulting environment. As an Associate Consultant, you will work on a diverse range of projects, typically handling around ten projects each year, which will provide you with a steep learning curve and the opportunity to develop a variety of skills.

At OC&C, we pride ourselves on our unique approach to consulting.

Our collaborative culture emphasizes teamwork and the sharing of ideas, allowing you to work closely with colleagues and clients alike.

What We Offer

• A competitive starting salary of £54,000, complemented by a £7,000 signing bonus and performance-related bonuses.
• Extensive training opportunities and mentorship from experienced partners and senior team members.
• A flexible unpaid leave scheme, with many of our Associate Consultants choosing to take additional time off each year.
• Support for personal development through a ‘Hobbies & Wellness’ subsidy and engaging social events organized by our internal team.
• A commitment to diversity and inclusion, with various networks in place to support all employees.

• A strong academic record and the ability to think critically and creatively.
• Excellent analytical skills to interpret data and derive meaningful insights.

• A collaborative spirit, valuing different perspectives and actively seeking feedback.
• Proactive and self-directed, with a strong sense of ownership and initiative.
• A desire to learn quickly and adapt to new challenges.
• Resilience and a commitment to achieving the best outcomes.
• Eligibility to work in the UK by the time of joining, with limited visa sponsorship available for eligible candidates.
