Apply

Apply today by completing our online application. Please be aware that some of our UK roles at PA Consulting require a UK security clearance. All PA people are required to undergo background checks and to achieve the Baseline Personnel Security Standard; some UK roles also require higher levels of National Security Vetting, where applicants must have at least 5 years of continuous residency in the UK. We therefore ask that you only apply if you meet the residency requirements (i.e. you are a British citizen or have been resident in the UK for the past 5 years). If you're unsure about your eligibility, review the UK Government’s guidance on security vetting before applying.

Assessment process

• Introductory call with a recruiter to explore your background, motivations and the role
• First round: Competency-based interview with two members of the HR team
• Final round: Live case study with the hiring manager focused on prioritisation and communication followed by a short take home assignment
