The Associate Analyst role is highly demanding – we will expect a lot from you, but you will receive first class training and will gain valuable experience with which to build a successful career. CIL Associate Analysts are an integral part of our project teams, and over the course of their placement will be expected to:

• 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 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 & develop. 

• Strong academic background (we are degree agnostic) from a top university. Candidates must be in their final year of study; this internship offers the opportunity to transition into a full-time position. 
• Excellent team working and people skills.
• A keen sense of humour and broad shoulders.
• Outstanding numeracy, written and verbal communication skills.
• Excellent research techniques and critical thinking ability.
• Business acumen and curiosity for solving business problems.
• Excellent people and workload management skills.
• Previous experience in strategy consulting, corporate strategy or investment banking / private equity preferred but not essential.
• Business proficiency in English and German (level C1 or above) is required. Any other languages are an advantage, as many of our projects have an international element. Swedish, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian or French are especially welcome.
