Technology Consulting forms the biggest part of our Consulting business and this is where the majority of our consulting graduates begin. From the phenomenal rise of social media to the emergence of cloud computing, technology is changing the way we live. It is also transforming the way businesses, governments and communities operate around the world. So it’s probably no surprise that our technology offerings comprise by far the biggest part of our consulting business. We provide leading technology solutions in almost every industry on the planet from Finance to Media, Energy to Retail to help our clients stay one step ahead of the competition

What will I be doing?

As an analyst within Technology Consulting you’ll work with the latest technologies and big-name companies on projects that are driving the strategies of these organisations. Here, you will be helping to transform business and that could mean being involved in any single point or every part of the process.

You could be brainstorming with the client at the outset of a project, so that you learn how their business works before devising the right strategy. Equally you could be involved in designing, testing or launching the technology that will make the difference. This will give you both the practical experience of working across the full project lifecycle, and the satisfaction of seeing your ideas become a reality.

Technology is the bedrock to so much business success today, and you will be right at the centre of developments, learning the more technical elements of our work such as how to implement and deploy the world’s leading software packages, including SAP and Oracle. However, it’s not just about learning technical skills: the role involves analysing client processes, people and systems, before developing and delivering a solution that achieves the right result. You can expect to work alongside talented people, some who will be experts in different aspects of technology from strategy to infrastructure, and others who will give you a completely different perspective.

There is one absolute certainty: technology is only going to become more important to the world and you could be right here making things happen.
