Fantastic opportunity for a super smart analytical thinker with excellent academics* to join this consulting business as a Junior Analyst, working on marketing & strategy projects in the food industry.
If analysing data and looking for trends and patterns, and translating them into meaningful insights are your thing, this is an exciting and challenging role working with a small, friendly consultancy based in the heart of the West End. Using market databases, interviews, research data, store audits, financial information, press sources and the internet, you will help us build a clear picture of important trends and competitive dynamics in specific food markets. Supporting senior staff on a project by project basis, assignments might include providing commercial due diligence support for a Private Equity business looking to acquire a food company, evaluating the entry routes for a packaging company entering a new market, or an operational improvement project for a food manufacturer.
Analyst work is closely supervised by an experienced senior consultant leading each project, and training will be provided on research, analysis and presentation techniques.
