With a diverse and inclusive team

We pride ourselves on cultivating a diverse, equitable and inclusive work environment and our consultants are at the heart of our culture. As a progressive employer, Strategy& continues to develop a diverse, agile and collaborative workforce that feels empowered to be the best they can be. 

We actively look to promote diversity through our recruitment efforts, for example by offering supported ‘Females of the Future’ and ‘Black Talent’ pathways.

Within the team, we also have a large number of Strategy& Diversity & Inclusion networks (including Strategy& Pride, Women's Network, Wellbeing Team, South Asian Network and many more) and a dedicated Inclusion team consisting of our own consultants to support leadership decisions and make sure that we are the most inclusive workplace we can be across the board.

We organise ourselves in two market-winning teams – Corporate Strategy and Deals Strategy. We work together to bring the best to our clients, and we offer a unique, powerful, and distinctive combination of capabilities that allows us to develop and deliver world-class strategies.

The two teams share many of the same attributes – fast progression (possibility of reaching Manager within three years), working in small teams, international opportunities, the chance to study towards an MBA, and flexible start dates. All consultants are aligned to one of the two teams, but are able to experience working in both, as we often resource projects together and provide the opportunity to transfer between teams.

Our corporate strategy team works with leading corporate clients, governments, and investors to create custom business strategies that address complex challenges faced by business leaders (market entry, growth strategy, target operating model and more). We work across all industry sectors where no two problems are the same – variety is at the core of what we do. Our pragmatic solutions focus on helping clients to build the key capabilities for success, taking them from strategy through to execution.

For you this means:

  • Often working closely with the client – This could be at their offices in the UK or internationally, or virtually in a post-covid world.
  • Varying project length – Our projects vary in both length and type. They can last anywhere between a few weeks through to a few months, and the work can range from determining a market entry strategy to defining a new target operating model. During your first year you will have the opportunity to work on multiple projects across a variety of industry sectors.
  • International exposure – We collaborate with other Strategy& offices globally, enabling international exposure on projects. We also offer secondments at any of our international offices.

Strategy& Deals work with a wide variety of corporate clients and investors, with a mix of transaction-related work (e.g. commercial due diligence, synergy assessment, pre- and post-deal value creation) as well as wider strategy development (e.g. growth strategy, market entry, initiative prioritisation, and more).

Transaction-related work tends to make up about 2/3rds of our projects – the remaining projects are primarily strategy development work, which includes a wide range of capabilities such as sustainability strategy. We support private equity firms, investment funds and leading corporate clients through their toughest decisions including group and business unit strategy, investment trade-offs, M&A and more. In all of these cases we provide a detailed evaluation of the target or our client’s proposition and market need, and help identify opportunities or constraints to be addressed.

For you this means:

  • Primarily working from London – Our teams have opportunities to visit client offices for site visits and meetings, but the majority of the teams’ time is spent in our London office (with flexibility to work from home).
  • Generally shorter projects – Our projects are typically three to six weeks long, meaning that you will do about ten projects in your first year, giving you exposure to a wide range of sectors and stakeholders. This will include a mix of deals- and non-deals related work.
  • International exposure – We collaborate with other Strategy& Deals offices globally on projects. In addition to overseas work, you will have the opportunity to take a secondment to an office abroad, including for example to New York, Singapore, Germany, or the Netherlands.
