• Take ownership of significant sales targets while leveraging your network to support both business development and recruitment efforts
• Act as a senior contributor to the NAM leadership team, helping to build team capability, develop junior talent, and strengthen our culture as we grow
• Your role will emphasize strategic thinking and creating tailored solutions for clients
  
  

Our collaborative and inclusive culture is what makes us stand out. At Efficio, colleagues with diverse backgrounds, ideas, and viewpoints come together to identify innovative solutions for our clients - and so we're looking for our new team members to bring strong communication, empathy, and relationship-building skills to maintain this culture as we grow.

We encourage our teams to proactively innovate and challenge the status-quo, backed by strong analytical thinking and creative problem-solving abilities alongside comfortable proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint. We're looking for team members who enjoy and have experience of digging into complex challenges at a leading management consultancy or in a relevant industry position.

Strong opportunities for career growth are an important part of our offering; as such, we love seeing ambition and a proactive approach to shaping your career to your goals and interests.

To meet client needs, we look for flexibility to travel; you can give us a heads-up on your preferences when applying.

We'd love to hear about any additional skills or experiences you bring to the table. We're particularly interested in:
