CIL Management Consultants | Careers

A career at CIL offers the opportunity to work across interesting engagements for fast-growing innovative businesses; rapid career progression and industry-leading development. We are committed to being the best consultancy to work for by providing all of our employees with a supportive environment that fosters exponential growth. We think a ‘culture’ is something other firms have to invent. Ours is the product of the individuals we employ.

We are hard-working, down-to-earth and direct. Teams are tight-knit, agile and collaborative. Our engagements are typically quite short, meaning employees have the opportunity to work with lots of different people across the company and on a wide variety of projects.

Consulting can be a challenging industry, but we believe our consultants thrive while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. We strive to make the work sustainable and create an environment which all employees can enjoy. Many of our senior staff joined as Analysts and have stayed at CIL through most of their career – this is unique in the consulting industry.

We are committed to building an open and diverse workforce where individuals from all backgrounds can prosper. We also have a strong focus on social impact and sustainability.

Career progression

Career progression at CIL can be rapid and is based on individual achievement. We actively support our employees towards promotion through frequent, structured and detailed feedback. Additionally, we offer opportunities to get involved in different internal functions such as recruitment, training, and knowledge & collaboration. We believe that by getting involved in our internal operations employees can gain first-hand experience of how businesses really work.
