• Throughout your time at Simon-Kucher you will contribute to analysis and results, benefiting from working alongside experienced Consultants, Directors and Partners.
• Whilst commercial due diligence will be the key focus of the team, we work collaboratively with other parts of Simon-Kucher, and therefore you will have the opportunity to also work on non-deal engagements; in areas such as M&A strategy, market reviews, revenue growth, pricing, marketing efficiency and digital strategy.
• Projects tend to be relatively short (average length of 3-4 weeks), providing the chance to learn a lot and work with different clients across a variety of sectors.

• Can the business achieve its revenue growth targets?
• How can growth of this business be accelerated over the next 3-4 years?
• How would this market and business perform in a recession or in a more restrictive healthcare funding environment?
