What is it like to work at EY-Parthenon Strategy

We are all about bringing a small group of exceptional people together to solve complex strategy problems. With fewer consultants per Partner, we work in smaller teams than other consulting firms. This means our graduates spend more time learning directly from our Partners who spend meaningful time guiding projects.

Smaller teams mean each person has more influence on the outcome, and that we are more dependent on the contributions of each person. For this reason, we form teams of supportive, clever, curious, and enthusiastic problem solvers. Whatever your background or your aspirations, EY-Parthenon Strategy will provide you with the support you need for a successful career.

At work, your day would look like:

• Working with top-tier Australian and multi-national companies, funds, and state and federal government departments to solve their most critical problems
• Working with Partners and teammates to contribute to the core problem solving process and interact with clients
• Focusing on interesting strategic priorities, rather than long-term implementation programs or operational issues

EY-Parthenon Strategy might be the place for you if:

• You have an outstanding academic track record and have showcased successful extra-curricular activities
• You are intelligent, curious, analytical, and interested in solving complex commercial and policy problems that have a real impact
• You want to work in small, close-knit teams alongside great people who are also great problem solvers
• You want the connection and flexibility that comes with a smaller practice, without compromising the quality of your top-tier strategy consulting experience or the opportunities that come from being part of a global firm

What we offer you:

• Exposure to a variety of industries, clients and interesting projects
• Support from an individual Development Leader with mentorship, guidance and career development
• On the job coaching, regular feedback and access to comprehensive training opportunities for your personal development
• Higher education support and global mobility opportunities within EY-Parthenon’s international network
• An inclusive culture that respects individual differences and values interesting and different perspective to help solve problems
• A calendar full of social & sporting events, offsites and celebrations to continue building connections with your colleagues
