Powered by AI, driven by you

We are investing £500m in digital transformation.  Our leading AI tools drive efficiencies, handling time-consuming manual tasks, which means you can focus on higher-value work, faster. You’ll get experience and training to progress rapidly, earlier than apprentices ever have before.  

Powered by AI, you will spend more time on detailed analysis, professional judgement and the insights that genuinely add value for clients. You’ll be the one in control, reviewing and challenging the quality of AI inputs and outputs to ensure our clients continue to receive an exceptional service. 

We're in the business of people, not just numbers. AI helps us work more efficiently, but it's our people who bring judgement, curiosity and care to every client relationship. As a trainee, you'll learn to use these tools while developing the human skills that will set you apart throughout your career. 

A look into the role

As a member of our Advisory team, you'll work across some of our most compelling service lines, including Business Risk Services, Actuarial and Insurance Risk Consulting, Counter Fraud and Business Process Outsourcing. You'll join one team to build deep expertise, with the opportunity to rotate across our advisory offering to gain broad, substantial experience and insight into how businesses really operate under pressure and in growth.

As an Advisory professional you will:

• Work with a variety of clients, from FTSE-listed companies to fast-growing start-ups, across financial services, public sector and technology

Who we’re looking for

 
Our pathway moves fast. You'll be juggling the demands it brings, alongside an intensive professional qualification, so you'll need real drive and determination to keep pace and succeed. This is a distinctive pathway offering exceptional opportunities, but the work is demanding. We want people with the ambition to contribute to our high-performance culture, who see a real future with us beyond qualification, following the purple path.   

We're looking for people who bring:  

• Commercial curiosity - genuine interest in our clients' businesses and an eye for spotting opportunities to add value, from the start.  

• A digital explorer's mindset - curiosity for digital tools and data, and a drive to find smarter solutions early on.  

• Adaptability - embracing change, asking good questions, and picking things up quickly when thrown in at the deep end.  

• Strong problem-solving skills - critical thinking, sound judgement, and attention to detail from your first live piece of work.  

• Collaborative communication - listening well, adapting your approach, and building trust with clients and colleagues alike.  

• A proactive approach to your career - taking ownership of your growth and seeking out opportunities rather than waiting for them to come to you.  

We’ve got a flexible approach to academic entry requirements, and we’ll consider these alongside your strengths and motivations.  

We're growing fast, and we want you to grow with us. With digital-first innovation and a firm that's investing in its future leaders, this is your chance to shape what's next.
