In this role, you will work on high-profile projects for leading organisations in the communications sector.

As a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to further develop your consulting and analytics skills, and rapidly advance your career.

Cartesian is a specialist consulting firm providing strategy and operational advisory services to global leaders in the communications, digital media, and technology industries

We have a combined team of c.

As a team, there are several factors which define our culture and approach:

  • Bright dynamic team based in central London
  • Flat organisation structure – no rigid hierarchies

Role and Responsibilities

This is an exciting opportunity to join a team of bright and dedicated individuals who work on challenging and rewarding projects for clients in the communications and digital media industries.

As a Strategy Consultant, we expect you to:

  • Quickly become an integral part of our team, owning small projects and large workstreams
  • Take a key role in client project delivery, client communications and project management
  • Apply technical and business judgment to address client challenges and offer new insights
  • Work independently, or as part of a team, to deliver rigorous quantitative analysis, impactful visualisations, and compelling presentations
  • Be comfortable working with ambiguity and flexible to changing client requirements
  • Manage junior staff on project teams, with an opportunity to coach and support their personal development
  • Be an internal thought leader, supporting business development and contributing to internal best practices
  • Share our corporate values and take an active role in initiatives to further enhance Cartesian as a supplier and employer of choice

Recent client projects have included:

  • Fibre Broadband: Prioritising areas for a network operator’s fibre buildout, using geospatial analytics to identify attractive locations and estimate financial returns.
  • Customer Experience: Using customer behaviour and network performance data to identify potential service problems, improve customer experience, and reduce support calls.
  • Churn Reduction: Providing insights to service providers on the underlying drivers of customer churn and helping them to develop strategies to increase customer loyalty.
  • Credential Sharing: Helping content providers to identify password sharing on video streaming platforms and developing strategies to mitigate this.

Previous Experience

We expect the successful candidate to have at least 3 years of experience in strategy consulting, or relevant commercial/technical experience in the TMT industry, in addition to the following attributes:

  • Interest in Cartesian’s focus sectors
  • Demonstrated strong analytical and interpersonal skills
