At Value Partners your career path will be based exclusively on merit: there is the opportunity to fast track and make it varied. Our people are outstanding problem solvers and to foster this skill we ensure that your professional development is enriched by experience in a variety of countries, disciplines and lines of business.
Typically, new hires join Value Partners at Business Analyst or Associate level. The professional development opportunities that derive from our generalist staffing and training policies can turn a brilliant graduate into an exceptional problem solver. Promotions are based solely on your contribution to the impact of your work, as well as your commitment to office activities.
Business Analyst
As a Business Analyst you'll participate in project activities by developing quantitative analyses and finding information from internal and external sources. You will, of course, attend client meetings, giving you early exposure to the total end-to-end project, and we do expect you to add personal value to all the tasks assigned you. You'll never be alone, though: you will be coached on the job by senior colleagues and you'll attend training both locally and globally in problem structuring, communication skills and database analysis.
As an Associate you will continue to develop quantitative analyses but you'll also contribute to the problem structuring process, you'll take responsibility over one area of the project - and, most importantly, over the recommendations linked to this area - and you'll supervise your more junior colleagues. Your exposure to the client will increase, and you will hone your communication skills by learning how to support an argument. As part of your formal development, you will continue with advanced skills courses and our in-house developed Consulting Skills Week.
As an Engagement Manager you will have responsibility for managing a project and the team. You will own the client's problem and you will play a pivotal role within the team amongst the Senior Manager / Principal and the client. You'll have to manage the trade-off between the day-to-day details of the project and the wider picture of the client relationship. You will work closely with the client's middle management and your relationship, problem solving, project management and motivational skills will be key, as you are responsible to deliver quality results and ensure that your project has a tangible and sustainable impact on the client's business.
As a Senior Engagement Manager you will be expected to manage more than one project at a time. In addition, we will ask you to work on two further areas: to focus on the liaison with the client’s top management so to be recognised as a thought leader and trusted advisor; and to contribute to the strategy and development of our practices. Client development will be your main area of assessment. You will also play a significant role coaching and mentoring more junior colleagues.
Successful Senior Engagement Managers are promoted to Principal once they prove that clients look to them as trusted advisors who can deliver significant and sustainable impact with the projects they lead and the relationship they have established. Principals are expected to lead client development and to embody our firm’s values and approach – also when dealing with more junior colleagues. Principals also generally have internal responsibilities, that require active participation, be they sitting in the People Development Committee, heading a Practice, or working on Recruiting activities.
Directors are senior Partners who have established lasting relationships of trust with the top management of client companies. They oversee the work of a number of Partners and are often appointed to manage a group of offices in a given geographical area. They carry on with client introduction responsibilities and provide significant contributions to internal committees and initiatives.
