Application Deadline: 31 October 2025

Department: Consulting

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Frome

Compensation: £46,500 / year

Description

CIL is an international strategy consultancy that helps clients to grow their businesses, build value, and invest wisely.

We have offices across the UK, US and Europe, and work across a wide range of sectors. Although we work in structured project teams, we are socially very equal, lively and inclusive – our ‘culture’ is the product of our people. Our values of excellence, integrity, and supportiveness guide how we work, both with clients and each other. Our London and Frome offices work as one – our engagements are staffed with CILers across both locations. Our Frome office offers the chance to pursue a city career within the countryside - just 30 minutes from Bath.

The Analyst role

The Analyst role is the first stage in a strategy consultant’s career. It is a demanding job, but you will receive first class training from our successful consultants.

As an integral part of our project teams, CIL Analysts will:

• Grasp new business models quickly, typically working on a different project every 4-6 weeks.
• Take responsibility for testing commercial hypotheses through collecting and interrogating primary and secondary research.
• Carry out rigorous quantitative and qualitative analysis of industry and internal company datasets.
• Play a key role in debating and refining hypotheses with the project manager and project leader, drafting clear & concise output for inclusion in the final report once agreed.
• Get in front of clients and help present our findings – we firmly believe that early client exposure is a great way to learn and develop.
• Help coach new graduate intakes after six months.

What we're looking for

We have a team of ~230 highly qualified, skilled people across our five offices. Successful CIL people share:

• Strong academic background (we are degree agnostic) from a top university.
• Excellent team working and people skills.
• A keen sense of humour and broad shoulders.

Qualification criteria

• Outstanding numeracy, written and verbal communication skills.
• Exceptional research techniques and critical thinking ability.
• Proven workload management skills.
• Business acumen and curiosity for solving business problems.
• Any languages an advantage as many of our projects involve an international element.

Benefits

We are committed to being the best consultancy to work for in our field. As well as the benefits below, we pride ourselves on being flexible to the needs and personal circumstances of every single employee. The main benefits we offer include:

• Rapid, meritocratic progression, with exposure to investors and management teams from the start.
• Hybrid working, with a guideline of spending at least 80% of your time in-office for the first six months and 60% of time in-office beyond that.
• High-quality training delivered within a hugely supportive learning environment.
• Access to personal online coaching via Sanctus.
• Participation in our company bonus scheme.
• Matched pension contributions.
• Generous holiday entitlement (25 days) with option to purchase five additional days each year.
• Option to request an extended period of unpaid leave (e.g. for a sabbatical) once you have been with the company for 2 years or more.
• Option to join our company private healthcare scheme through Vitality, which includes a Dental, Optical and Audiological cash plan.
• Regular company events & socials.
