          ✨ You’ll see your work used – not parked in decks that gather dust

          This role exists because the business is growing fast and needs someone who can step in front of clients with confidence and credibility.

        • The Company

          The client is a fast-growing, insights-led consultancy specialising in affluent and high-net-worth consumers. They combine a proprietary data and insights platform with bespoke strategic consulting, helping premium brands understand how wealthy consumers think, behave and make decisions.

          Data Scientist | Strategy and Innovation.

          • £50,000
          • Why Join?

            You’ll be trusted to do what many analytics roles promise but rarely deliver: own the thinking, not just the outputs. This is a role for someone who enjoys curiosity over templates, experimentation over black boxes, and collaboration over working in isolation. You’ll work on genuinely bespoke projects, have the freedom to try new approaches (including AI and unstructured data), and see your analysis directly influence real decisions. 

          • The Company

            The client is a strategy, innovation and design consultancy where consultancy is the heartbeat of the business. Data and analytics are central to how they help clients navigate complex challenges and make confident choices. With a small, highly capable analytics team embedded into consulting work, this is an environment where technical excellence, clear communication and practical impact matter more than shiny buzzwords. You’ll also work across two closely linked consultancies, giving you variety and exposure without corporate sprawl.

          • The Day-To-Day

            🔍 Translate business and strategy questions into the right analytical approaches

            📈 Design and deliver bespoke analytics using R (Python a bonus)

            🧠 Work with survey data – segmentation, tracking, driver analysis, choice-based modelling

            🤝 Partner closely with consultants and researchers, shaping projects from start to finish

            🗣️ Communicate insights clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

            🚀 Contribute to internal innovation, tools and ways of working

            Roughly 75% of your time will be client delivery, with the rest spent on development, experimentation and IP.

          • The Ideal Candidate

            You’ll have 3–5 years’ experience in analytics or research within a consulting-style environment. You enjoy problem-solving from first principles, not delivering off-the-shelf solutions. You’re confident with R, comfortable with data, and genuinely curious about analytics, data science and AI. Most importantly, you like explaining the “so what” and working closely with others to make insights land.

            • £60,000
            Want to move from “doing the work” to owning the room? If you’re a strategy-leaning consultant who loves cracking messy problems and you’re ready to step up into client leadership fast, this could be your move.
            • About The Company

              Our client is a boutique strategy partner to global consumer goods businesses. They’re known for partnering closely with leadership teams to create strategic clarity, consensus, and commitment, then helping teams actually deliver it. Client mix includes FMCG and adjacent sectors (including tobacco and drinks). If that’s not for you, this won’t be the right role, and that’s okay.

               
            • Why Join?

              • Fast progression: they want a Senior Consultant who can step into Manager-level responsibility quickly (not “in a few years”). 🚀
              • Real client exposure: you’ll be trusted to lead workstreams, run sessions, and build relationships, not just polish slides.
              • Growth journey: profitable, scaling up, formalising the team, and investing in future growth (you’ll help shape it).
              • Hybrid, sensible: typically 1 day/week in London (sometimes 2)
               
            • The Day-to-Day

              You’ll blend sharp thinking with confident delivery:

              • Synthesise data + research into clear, decision-ready insight
              • Build interview guides, lead interviews, and craft crisp write-ups
              • Develop frameworks and storylines that land with senior stakeholders
              • Produce high-quality decks (charts, narrative, recommendations)
              • Support and increasingly lead workshops / stakeholder sessions
              • Contribute to proposals and business growth alongside delivery
               
            • The Ideal Candidate

              You’ll likely have:

              • 3+ years in FMCG and/or marketing/strategy consulting
              • Strong consulting fundamentals (analysis, research, interviewing, charting, storytelling)
              • Confidence facilitating and leading client conversations (or very close to it)
              • A pragmatic, insight-led style (not overly “creative brand strategy”)
              • Enjoyment of consulting pace + variety… and ambition to grow fast

                  • £46,000
                  If you’ve ever felt like QA is treated as an afterthought… this one’s different. This is a role for an Automation Tester / SDET who wants real influence: shaping how teams test, improving delivery quality, and being trusted to run with problems (not just execute tickets).
                  • 🏢 The Company

                    Our client is a UK-based rapidly-growing technical consultancy delivering software and digital programmes across public sector organisations.

                    Key Responsibilities

                  • 🧠 The Ideal Candidate

                    You’ll enjoy this if you:

                    • Care about quality outcomes, not just “tests passing”
                    • Can explain issues clearly to non-technical stakeholders
                    • Have strong automation experience for web/UI, and you’re comfortable getting hands-on
                    • Like variety: 6-month assignments, different clients, different problems
                    • Are SC-eligible (UK residency/travel constraints apply) and can travel to London/client sites when required
                     
                  • 🚀 Why Join?

                    You’ll work in a consultancy environment where your work lands with real users — often on meaningful public-sector services — and where strong communicators thrive.

                    If you’re looking for a role where QA is respected, your voice matters, and you can build genuine credibility with clients, this is worth a conversation.

                    • Why Join? 🌱

                      Because you want more than just writing test scripts.

                      Here, you’ll have real ownership over automation frameworks and testing strategy, the chance to work across varied, high-impact projects rather than one static product and will be joining a consultancy environment where progression is based on capability, not time served.

                      Our client is a growing technology consultancy that partners closely with organisations across the public and private sectors, embedding engineers into teams to solve real-world problems.

                      • Integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines

                      • Working closely with developers, QA peers, and clients to improve quality end-to-end

                      • Helping establish best practice across automation and testing

                      This is a hands-on role – not a test management position.

                    • The Ideal Candidate 🧠

                      You’ll likely have:

                      • Experience as an Automation Test Engineer / SDET

                      • Strong Java and API automation experience

                      • Exposure to building or extending automation frameworks

                      • A solid understanding of the SDLC and QA best practice

                      • Confidence working in client-facing, agile environments

                      If you enjoy autonomy, variety, and being trusted to deliver – you’ll feel at home here.
