When searching for your second job you’re likely to have an informed view of what you’re looking for, and where you want your skills and experience to take you in the medium and long term.
A bit like dating, you’ll be looking for an employer to match your career aspirations. Somewhere you can hit the ground running, bringing value to your new employer with your knowledge, skills and experience, but also be stretched and challenged through interesting projects you’ll be working on. This is why we’re the perfect career match. We can provide all sorts of opportunities for people looking to join us at Senior Associate grade.
Senior Associates are a grade just below manager, they’re the cornerstone of our business, and the grade our graduate trainees move to once they’ve completed their training programme. Like our graduates, Senior Associates enjoy a structured training and development programme to support them in their career and their career aspirations.
Who we're looking for
You might be surprised by the diversity of opportunities available with us. If you have technology skills, and are interested in working in Cyber Security, Data and Analytics or perhaps Technology Consulting, this area of our business is fast-growing, which means lots of opportunities.

We'd recommend you spend the time looking across all our business areas and specialist practices within them, to explore the breadth of opportunity we have available. Whichever area of our business you join, our scale and reach will help you enjoy incredible career variety.
