Job description

Quick Release is a next-generation boutique consultancy, focusing on business improvement and data management for clients with complex product development processes, and right now we are looking to hire and train our next generation of analysts and consultants, with start dates from immediate to summer 2022.

If you've set your sights on a successful career in management consultancy, data analytics or digital solutions, Quick Release can offer you hands-on experience of complex, high-impact projects, together with fast-paced training, supportive (on-the-job) mentoring, and a caring company culture that promotes flexibility, fulfillment and work-life balance.

If you have an outstanding academic record and you truly want to become a force for change, then we want to hear from you, today! This intake isn't just for recent graduates. We genuinely welcome (and always need) all levels of experience on the team. The unique nature of what we do means that everyone gets the same level of support and training upon starting with QR, and we love receiving applications from anyone who shares our passion for using data to make things better. So, whether you've just finished uni, you're returning to work after time out, or you're looking for a new and rewarding change in direction... you're welcome!

You can expect_
Excellent training and mentoring - you'll learn from the best.
Projects with a variety of clients, locations and workplaces, all with real-world impact.
A team culture that is genuinely engaging and supportive - we win, lose, learn (and play) together.
Responsibility, fast.
A starting salary of £32,000 - 38,400 plus other rewards and benefits.
Career progression based on merit and a choice of pathways.
Lots of team events, sports clubs, CSR, mental health, diversity and wellbeing initiates and a direct line to management and leadership for your ideas.
UK, European and World travel opportunities.
The knowledge, skills and experience to ensure you'll always be in demand, wherever your career may take you…

What you'll do_

Quick Release delivers highly specialized engagements that scale quickly into full digital product implementation. We work alongside our clients (mostly on location) to understand their challenges, provide expert guidance, and follow this up with the technical know-how to put that guidance into action. As such, our junior analysts and consultants are empowered to use their extraordinary abilities and exercise their passions, without getting bogged down in red tape and SOPs.

In your first year with Quick Release you will…

Complete first-class induction training (in a cohort that learns together).
Learn from the best on real, client-facing projects.
Experience a range of projects, businesses, sectors, and workplaces, getting to know and understand how our clients operate.
Develop strong trusting relationships with clients and team-mates.
Support the delivery of operational solutions and value add propositions.
Build the capability to own and deliver results on your own workstreams as you discover your own special powers.
Develop your business acumen, scope out new projects and identify opportunities for future service offerings, as we take on bigger and better projects.

Some projects will be challenging, but they will always be rewarding, and you'll be surrounded by a team of great people who are willing to go the extra mile to help you grow, succeed or enjoy some downtime.

While we're well-adapted to working flexibly (and always have been), we do expect our teams to be located within commuter distance of their nominated client sites or QR offices, with locations including Brentwood (Essex), Warwick and Coventry (West Mids), Oxford, Woking (Surrey). Some locations are commutable from Central London, but it's worth talking to us if you have any concerns over travel or working arrangements (and safety of our team is always the highest priority!). You can specify your preferences in the application form.

What we're looking for_

A first-class or high 2.1 bachelors' degree, masters' degree or PhD in any discipline (it doesn't need to be STEM) .
Emerging leadership ability and the drive to take on responsibility - determination to be the best.
Strong communication skills, accompanied by self-awareness and emotional intelligence.
The ability to make sense of complexity and present compelling data-driven stories that resonate with stakeholders.
The passion, resilience and energy to work hard and make a difference.

QR_ Values Diversity_

We take pride in being different as a company and we celebrate multiple approaches and points of view.

We challenge inequality in all its forms, in others, and especially in ourselves.

We're not perfect, but we want to be better and do better, and we are fully committed to this in our actions as well as words.

As an equal opportunities employer, Quick Release never discriminates on the basis of gender, race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, socio-economic background, marital status, or disability status.

We welcome applications from people with all levels of experience for this role.

The Application and Assessment Process_

Please apply via the online form.

Please take a few minutes to consider your answers to the application form questions and the content of your CV before you hit send. We only progress those applications that are completed in full, with a well-presented resume.

The process comprises a combination of interviews, remote assessments and an assessment centre. Unless you specify otherwise in the application form, you will be considered for both junior analyst and consultant intakes up to and including the Assessment Centre (AC). Your performance across the different elements of the AC will be used to identify which track is best suited to you (Analyst or Consultant), and we will always be clear, open and honest with you throughout the process and about our intentions and the options available to you.

We include plenty of opportunities for you to find out more about our team and the projects we're working on, but we strongly advise that you spend some time on our website, Glassdoor and LinkedIn pages before applying, and certainly before interview.
