About the Graduate Programme

Our Graduate Analyst Programme is a two-year structured pathway designed to help you start your consulting career.

You will develop the skills, experience, and professional growth needed to succeed, while specialising in one of our two practice areas:

• Identity Access and Management (IAM)
• Exposure to IAM concepts such as access provisioning/deprovisioning, joiners/movers/leavers processes, authentication and authorisation, privileged access management (PAM), and identity governance & administration (IGA).
• Assist with strategies, target operating models, and process improvement projects.
• Hands-on experience with IAM tools, including Sail Point Identity IQ/Identity Security Cloud (ISC), Delinea Secret Server, and Cyber Ark.
• Undertake training and certifications in leading IAM technologies.
• Involvement in IAM software configuration, system integration, business analysis and policy implementation.
• Collaborate with clients and senior consultants through workshops, meetings, and calls.
• Develop an understanding of project governance.
• Risk, Security and Controls (RSC)
• Exposure to risk management, security assurance, and controls advisory.
• Support our consulting team in working with clients to enhance governance frameworks, evaluate security risks, and improve business controls (Governance, Risk and Compliance - GRC).
• Work with business applications, such as SAP, to understand, assess and improve internal controls and operational processes.
• Engage with Vulnerability & Threat Detection for SAP application environments.
• Deliver Access Governance and authorisation-based solutions within SAP applications.
• Support the implementation of enabling GRC technology to solve governance challenges.
• Collaborate with clients and our consultants to strengthen governance frameworks and achieve regulatory or industry standards (e. g., SOX, GDPR, ISO27001).
• Typical activities may include providing support and shadowing on data analysis to identify control gaps, risk assessments, compliance reviews, and implementing access governance and control solutions.

By joining our team, you can expect to work on or shadow challenging projects across one of the practice areas, supported by our advisory, assurance, managed services, and implementation offerings.

This provides real-world consulting experience across a diverse range of industries and global clients (e. g., FTSE 100).
