Strategy Consultant- £competitive

Metra Martech is working with PMSI, a small (~30 staff) but rapidly growing strategic consultancy, based primarily in North London. A unique feature of the PMSI approach is the ability to leverage data as a basis for fact-based commercial decisions, and to provide an ongoing information service as well as just a one-off analysis. PMSI offer an exciting alternative to the mainstream consulting competitors, based on a high level of exposure to partners / senior managers, a talented yet supportive peer group, less time “on the road” than is the norm, and rapid career progression for those with the ability and energy to make it happen.

There are three functional groups within PMSI:

Consulting - who deliver Strategic Consulting, M&A and Research services

Information Technology - who develop proprietary software tools

Data Management & Analysis - who deliver Data Intelligence services

You will be working in the core Consulting group. On each project, you will work in a small team of other Consultants and Analysts to solve the client's commercial issues. Your responsibilities will include data analysis, telephone interviewing, presentation creation / delivery, and supervising work undertaken by our Analysts. You will be based at in North London, although some travel in the UK and abroad will also be required.

You will:

· Have a strong commercial focus, with the ability to retain a helicopter view of a business issue, whilst also ensuring that the detail is correct.

· Be a good communicator, with strong interpersonal skills. You should have the ability to package complex information and concepts in a way that leads senior client management through the story of our findings, but also able to develop a rapport with less senior staff who work “at the coalface”.

· Be proactive in taking responsibility for an area of work, and able to work to tight deadlines while maintaining the quality of your work. This should be combined with a genuine intellectual curiosity and enthusiasm to dig down and find the real solution to a business issue.

· Be highly numerate, and comfortable in drawing commercial conclusions from extensive and disparate data sources. You may therefore be a power user of Excel.

· Hold a good first degree from a leading university, plus 3-5 years’ experience in a strategic planning, commercial, or marketing role within a blue chip corporate environment. Fluency in an additional language is also desirable (ideally French), reflecting the international nature of our assignments.
