Parthenon Strategy Graduate Programme

Programme overview

Our team advise clients on a vast range of issues, such as core value proposition, competitive positioning, and growth strategy. Our people enjoy unparalleled contact with influential and highly experienced professionals within the firm, as well as with senior management at clients’ organisations across a range of sectors. We provide a mixture of commercial due diligence and strategy projects with private equity (PE) and corporate clients. These projects help our clients answer their most complex strategic questions by providing in-depth market, competitor, customer, and investment insights.

During the programme, Associates will focus on building the broad analytical consulting toolkit needed to be a successful consultant. This is supported by hands-on project work, a robust training program, and tailored mentorship and coaching.
