Job Description
Power Your Curiosity at PA
As a Consultant, you’ll build on your experience to deliver lasting change for our clients. You’ll take on responsibility in project delivery, client engagement, and problem-solving, while continuing to develop your consulting skills and industry knowledge.
You’ll be exposed to a wide range of projects, from designing and delivering transformation programmes to supporting operating model changes and managing stakeholder engagement. You’ll work closely with senior consultants and client teams, contributing your expertise and learning from experienced colleagues.
Our Consultants Make a Difference
In today’s fast-moving world, organisations need to adapt quickly—and so do we. At PA, you’ll join small, close-knit teams where your ideas matter and you have real influence from day one. We give you the space and trust to take the lead on your own assignments, shape how we work, and drive meaningful change for our clients.
You’ll have the freedom to explore new approaches, challenge the status quo, and bring your entrepreneurial mindset to every project. Whether you want to deepen your expertise, try something new, or step up and lead, we’ll back you with hands-on experience, mentorship, and plenty of opportunities to grow.
No two days are the same. One day you might be running a workshop with your team, the next you could be pitching your ideas to senior leaders or collaborating on an international project. Here, you’re empowered to make your mark—supported by a team that’s invested in your success.
A career at PA is what you make of it — so power your curiosity and prepare to make an impact!
