Management Consulting Associate Jobs

Partners in Performance is a global management consulting firm with a focus on human performance and working alongside client partners to make change happen. We’ve got offices in Australia, New Zealand, Africa, North and South America, the UK and Europe but prefer to spend as little time in them as possible. Instead, we work alongside our clients to unleash their potential and deliver lasting impact that you hardly ever achieve by sitting in a boardroom.

What new Associates can expect when they join Partners in Performance

The Associate role is a frontline change agent for Partners in Performance clients. You are the primary source of reliable data and high-quality analysis, providing the fact base the improvement team uses to make decisions in real time.

Other responsibilities include:

• You directly support client Idea owners, providing technical and analytical support to ensure improvement ideas are successful.
• You draw on and develop your leadership skills to help build the client organization’s “wiring” to ensure a culture of continuous improvement sustains the improvement effort; by doing this, you ensure that the PIP methodology becomes part of the way your client does business, long after the PIP engagement is finished.
• You coach client analysts and line managers, sharing your skills and building relationships across the client site, using your network to ensure improvement plans are firmly based on the real-world clients operate in.
• You recognize when ideas are under or over-performing relative to expectations, and you’re the primary source for validating the benefit stream generated by these ideas.
• Your key responsibility is to provide rigor and accuracy to the improvement effort. As the chief source of insight based on the data you work with, you facilitate the prioritization of improvement opportunities and use root cause analysis to help resolve day-to-day issues with implementation.
