This is a specialist boutique pioneering the field of Data Economics — quantifying what data is actually worth and helping organisations treat it as the strategic asset it is. Their clients are some of the UK’s largest infrastructure, utilities, and transport organisations. The work shapes real decisions at board level.

They’re looking for a Solution Analyst to join their delivery team. This is an earlier-career role, but it’s not a junior role in the way most firms use that word. You’ll be on live client engagements from day one, supported by experienced practitioners, and expected to take real ownership of the work you’re given.

You’ll be part of a squad working on live engagements, handling the analytical engine of every project. That means preparing, cleaning, and structuring data; conducting research; building models and initial outputs; and contributing to client-ready documents and presentations.

Day to day, you can expect to:

• Prepare, clean, and structure data to support analysis and modelling work
• Conduct research and produce initial outputs, models, and materials
• Use the firm’s internal tools and accelerators to support delivery
• Contribute to client-ready documents and presentations
• Support more senior team members on day-to-day delivery tasks
• Begin to build client-facing skills through supervised interactions

You’ll be intellectually curious, organised, and someone who takes quality seriously. You check your own work. You ask good questions. You want to understand the problem, not just complete the task.

• Strong data handling and analytical skills — comfortable working with data in complex contexts
• Ability to produce clear, professional written documents and presentations
• Organised and structured approach to tasks, with the ability to work to a brief and meet deadlines
• A degree in a relevant discipline — quantitative, business, or analytical — or equivalent experience. We assess this contextually.
• Some exposure to data, analytics, financial modelling, or business change through study, placements, or early roles

The field is genuinely emerging. Data Economics is being defined right now. Joining early means growing with a discipline that is still taking shape — and being part of what it becomes.

The development is structured and real. You’ll be supported by experienced practitioners and given a clear path to grow across all four of the firm’s domains: Data Economics & Valuation, Data Asset Management, Business Change, and Actionable Intelligence.

The culture is built on trust. A small, high-calibre team where your work is visible and your contribution counts from the start.

The package is thoughtfully designed. Competitive salary, private health cover with enhanced mental health support, generous family policies, and access to professional financial advice.

Flexibility with purpose. Around 60% in-person collaboration in London; genuine autonomy to shape the rest of your week around where you do your best work.

This role is being recruited on a confidential basis. The client’s name will be shared with suitable candidates at first conversation stage.

📍 London | 💼 Permanent, full time | 💰 Competitive salary + bonus

This is a specialist boutique pioneering the field of Data Economics — a discipline that sits at the intersection of strategy consulting and financial modelling, and one that is growing fast. Their clients are some of the UK’s largest and most complex organisations. The work lands at board level.

The problems are genuinely hard.

They’re looking for a Consulting Manager to join as a Solution Consultant — a core delivery role that sits at the heart of every engagement. You’ll own workstreams, produce high-quality analytical outputs, and manage day-to-day client relationships with confidence. If you’re a structured thinker who wants to do serious consulting work in an emerging field, this is worth your attention.

You’ll work within squads led by a Solution Lead, taking defined workstreams from brief to output. That means building models and analysis, running workshops, presenting findings to mid-level clients, and mentoring more junior analysts on the team. You’ll also contribute to the methods and IP that make the firm’s work repeatable and scalable.

Day to day, you can expect to:

• Own workstreams end-to-end, from brief to client-ready output
• Build analysis, financial models, and structured presentations to a high standard
• Manage day-to-day client interactions — workshops, findings sessions, relationship-building at mid-level
• Support more senior team members on delivery planning and risk management
• Mentor and review the work of Solution Analysts
• Contribute to the firm’s growing library of methods, frameworks, and accelerators

You’ll be a structured, delivery-focused consultant — likely at manager level — with a track record of owning complex analytical workstreams and communicating findings clearly to clients.

• Experience in a consulting, professional services, or advisory environment
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills — comfortable taking a complex brief and producing clear outputs
• Confident communicator, written and verbal, with experience presenting findings and running client sessions
• Domain experience in at least one area: data strategy, governance, analytics, financial modelling, or business change
• Awareness of commercial context — scope, quality, and what good delivery looks like

The field is genuinely emerging. Data Economics is being defined right now, and this firm is at the front of it. Joining at this stage means being part of building something, not inheriting a finished model.

The work is real from day one. No extended onboarding or shadow work. You’ll be on live engagements quickly, working on problems that matter to serious organisations.

The culture is built on trust. A small, high-calibre team with no unnecessary layers. Your work is visible, your contribution counts, and the people around you are genuinely excellent.

The package is competitive. Benchmarked against consulting market rates, with private health cover, enhanced mental health support, generous family policies, and access to professional financial advice.

Flexibility with purpose. Around 60% in-person collaboration; genuine autonomy to shape the rest of your week around where you do your best work.

This role is being recruited on a confidential basis. The client’s name will be shared with suitable candidates at first conversation stage.

📍 London | 💼 Permanent, full time | 💰 Competitive salary + bonus

Most organisations know their data has value. Very few can prove it.

They are a specialist boutique pioneering the field of Data Economics: the discipline of quantifying what data is actually worth, building the investment cases that unlock board-level decisions, and helping organisations treat data as the economic asset it is. It’s a niche that sits at the intersection of strategy consulting and financial modelling and it’s growing fast.

At around 40 people, the firm is award-winning, profitable, and at an inflection point. Their client list spans some of the UK’s largest infrastructure, utilities, and transport organisations. The CDO and CFO are typically in the room. The work shapes real decisions.

This hire is a significant one. They are looking for an Associate Director to own and scale their data valuation capability — someone who can lead engagements, develop client relationships, and help define what this practice looks like at the next stage of the firm’s growth. It’s the kind of role that doesn’t come up often.

You’ll be leading engagements where the central question is: what is this data worth, and what should we invest to improve it? That means working with clients to map where data drives financial outcomes, building the models that translate data quality into business value, and presenting findings in a way that moves a CFO or CDO to act.

No two engagements look the same — the sectors vary, the clients vary, and the problems are genuinely complex. But the thread running through all of it is rigour: commercial rigour, analytical rigour, and the ability to tell a clear story from complicated evidence.

Day to day, you can expect to:

• Own senior client relationships and act as a strategic advisor at C-suite and Director level
• Lead data valuation and data strategy engagements end-to-end, with accountability for quality and commercial outcomes
• Shape and evolve the firm’s methodology, propositions, and go-to-market approach
• Identify and convert new opportunities — this is a commercial as well as a delivery role
• Lead, coach and develop project teams, with real visibility into your impact

You’ll be a seasoned consulting professional — likely at Senior Manager or Associate Director level — with a track record of owning complex engagements and building senior client relationships independently.

Essential:

• 8–15 years in a consulting environment, with clear progression and genuine client ownership
• Experience leading end-to-end engagements with accountability for commercial outcomes
• Strong analytical and structured thinking — comfortable translating data or operational insight into financial terms
• Excellent communication skills; able to shape a narrative and hold a room at executive level
• Experience in one or more data-related domains: data strategy, governance, operating models, or value realisation
• Demonstrable business development capability — identifying, shaping, and closing opportunities

You may be coming from:

• A data strategy or analytics consultancy (PA Consulting, Baringa, Deloitte, EY, PwC, KPMG, Artefact, Dufrain)
• A strategy house with digital or data exposure (Oliver Wyman, Strategy&, Roland Berger)
• An in-house data strategy or transformation leadership role at a major organisation

• The timing is genuinely interesting. Data Economics is an emerging discipline and this firm is defining it. Joining now means shaping what the practice becomes — not inheriting someone else’s playbook.
• The conversations are at the right level. You’ll be presenting to CDOs and CFOs within weeks of joining. There’s no long queue to get to the senior table.
• The package reflects your market value. Compensation is benchmarked against senior consulting market rates — plus meaningful equity options and a potential exit horizon that a Big 4 or strategy house simply can’t offer.
• It’s a small firm that thinks big. Forty people, no layers of management, low politics. Your work is visible, your voice carries, and the founding team is still hands-on in the work.
• Flexibility with purpose. Around 60% in-person collaboration; genuine autonomy to shape the rest of your week around where you do your best work.

This role is being recruited on a confidential basis. The client’s name will be shared with suitable candidates at first conversation stage.
