This role is only open to undergraduate students applying for a placement year as part of their undergraduate degree.

This role would ideally suit those who are interested by the variety and pace of consulting with a desire to take on more responsibility and experience greater client engagement than may be commonplace in a larger organisation. Given our data driven and tech-enabled approach, this role also suits candidates who are excited by the idea of working with large datasets and using code (primarily SQL).

Requirements

We are looking for people who have demonstrable skills and experience in the following areas: 

• Problem solving and insight, with the ability to bring structured thinking to complicated situations and translate data into practical recommendations .
• Analytical skills and technical experience 'beyond excel'. Experience with SQL, Python, or a visualisation tool (e.g. Tableau, PowerBI, Looker) is a plus.
• A commercial mindset and an interest in business and marketing/sales.
• Clear written and verbal communication and strong relationship building .
• Committed team player – you want to have real impact with clients working at pace as part of a project team .
• Self-directed and proactive – you will have considerable responsibility from Day one.

We understand that early in your career you may not have specific experience against every single one of these boxes – don’t let that put you off, we are most interested in your ability and desire to learn.

The sort of people we’re looking for…

• Are capable and data-driven with a flexible thinking style.
• Want to add value for clients, more than creating a ‘pretty slide deck’.
• Suggest solutions after identifying problems.
• Are kind and contribute to creating a great working environment.
• Are eager to learn and willing to be wrong.
• Enjoy taking ownership and want to be part of building the business.

Application process:

The application process for Placement Year students involves: 

• Two short online assessments - you will be sent a link following your application. The assessments measure problem solving, critical thinking, learning ability, your ability to digest information and clarity of written communication.

• First round 45-minute virtual interview - a competency-based interview. The questions will be about getting to know you and understanding your skills and experience, and motivations for a role at Coppett Hill. 

• Final round 45-minute virtual interview - The interview questions will continue to be about getting to know you and understanding your skills and experience. As part of this interview, there may also be an unstructured case study exercise.

Benefits

• You will work alongside experienced project leaders and benefit from day-to-day collaboration with our impressive clients, creating opportunities for both accelerated learning and significant impact.  
• Our offices are in the City of London, with plenty of great amenities nearby. Our Placement Year students will spend most of their time working with their project teams, in person, here or with our clients.
• You’ll be part of an exciting team culture, with regular socials and experiences throughout the year, including our annual ski trip and summer offsite.
• You’ll have opportunities to learn and develop, with support to build your skills.
• You’ll enjoy plenty of office snacks and refreshments to keep you going throughout the day!
