What are the responsibilities and job description for the Management Consultant - Associate position at Quick Release_?
QR's reputation for product data management and consultancy has put us at the vanguard of transforming the automotive, aerospace and robotics industries across the globe, as they seek to build better products and a more sustainable future. As a team, we are particularly excited to be supporting the development of some truly planet-changing products, including connected, electric and solar vehicles and an increasingly diverse range of new technologies.
With more new and exciting projects in development, we are currently seeking to strengthen our consultancy project delivery team. If you're looking for the next step in your career in consultancy or project management, we can offer you interesting, exciting and impactful projects, a genuinely positive and caring company culture, great learning and progression, and products that are both ground-breaking and good for the planet.
Quick Release Consultants deliver varied and complex engagements for companies who are looking to get their new technology to market fast and more efficiently.
Every project is different, and our consultants are empowered to leverage their judgment and expertise to solve a broad range of clients' challenges.
Usually starting with a diagnostic, these projects very often rapidly scale-up into much larger hands-on, cross-functional deployments, blending analytics and reporting with project management and software implementation.
Why QR_ Consulting?
Requirements
Being the best at what we do is important to us (we've just been named amongst the FT's leading management consultancies for the third year running) but Quick Release has always been about more than project delivery. We can only be the best by looking after our team and we are very much a "people-first" business. We offer an environment of support, inclusion and encouragement, where our people can be authentic, be heard, enjoy their work and thrive. Team-building, learning, development and career progression are at the core of what we do, and we take great pride in our positive company culture.
We also take pride in our diversity and we respect and value multiple approaches and points of view. We challenge inequality in all its forms, in others, and especially in ourselves. We're not perfect, but we want to be better and do better, and we are fully committed to this in our actions as well as words.
As an equal opportunities employer, Quick Release will never discriminate on the basis of gender, race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, socio-economic background, marital status, or disability status.
If at any point throughout the recruitment process you require any reasonable adjustments to be made, please do let us know and we will be happy to help.
We're inviting candidates with 2-3 years of relevant experience to apply for this role. Please see our other openings for roles requiring 0-2 years and 5 years experience.
