OC&C is a global strategy consulting firm, founded in 1987 in London. We are continuing to expand rapidly and are looking for the most talented graduates to join our growing cohorts in the London office.

Our people are agile thinkers from a variety of backgrounds, united by constant curiosity and a desire to work together to solve problems.Each client challenge is unique, so instead of relying on generic solutions, we break down a problem using our philosophy of 'uncommon sense' until we find its root.

Our London office is looking for Associate Consultants to join the analytics team - a key source of the strategic advice we provide to our clients. As our clients' data is becoming increasingly big and complicated, the need for high quality statistical analysis is growing rapidly. OC&C is regularly tasked with problems where the answers are hidden in large, messy and complex data sets such as transaction data, customer-behaviour data and web data. The analytics practice work as both technical experts and strategy consultants to unearth insights, identify recommendations and communicate them persuasively to our clients. Analytics is therefore an increasingly important part of what OC&C does and growing rapidly as a practice.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

Our strategy and M&A focus - a lot of consulting is multi-month implementation projects, focused on cost or IT transformation; that's not us. We provide advice to our clients on where to play and how to win, in our key sectors of Retail, Leisure & Hospitality; Consumer Goods; Technology & Media; B2B Products & Services; and Private Equity. We work with organisations of all sizes, from global blue chips and household names to smaller industry challengers. Due to the strategic nature of our work, we spend a lot more time collaborating together in our London office - we don't "live out of a suitcase" like some types of consulting.
Our people - at OC&C our people are at the heart of everything we do & we work hard to ensure we are a workplace that encourages everyone to flourish, irrespective of background. Diversity of thought is integral to the success of our business & our six diversity networks play a pivotal role in ensuring we are developing and nurturing everyone.
Our culture - at OC&C we foster an entrepreneurial environment and we all play a role building the firm, through participation in various task teams to drive forward change. Because we work in small teams ( 5-7 vs often 10+ at more implementation-focused firms) you will get more exposure to all experience levels in the business. No client-service industries work the typical 9-5, but we have several mechanisms to make the job sustainable, including our popular unpaid leave scheme - over 70% of our Associate Consultants opt to take up to an extra month of unpaid leave every year (as well as fully paid holidays). We're also encouraged to try new things outside of work with the 'Hobbies & Wellness' subsidy & our internal 'Ministry of Fun' takes their job of organising social events very seriously!
Our values - we are dedicated to creating positive change for the world around us. We devote a portion of our revenue to pro-bono projects each year, we help clients with ESG issues, and we take ethics seriously, ensuring that you don't work on projects that are against your values. We are also incredibly proud to be a B Corp .
Our global opportunities - we deliver insights to clients across the globe and many of our projects have cross-office teams. As you progress there will also be opportunities such as ambassadorships, which offer people a chance to work abroad for 4-6 months, or longer-term transfers.
