Are you bright, enthusiastic and curious? Do you want to have a positive impact whilst solving interesting problems? Are you looking to chart your own course through an extraordinary career?

If so, apply now for an Associate Consultant role with Bain & Company Australia. We are currently taking applications from students graduating in 2022 or before July 2023 or recent graduates with less than 2 years’ of work experience, to join us throughout 2023.

The Associate Consultant Role:

Associate Consultants (ACs) are at the heart of Bain’s core strength – providing clients with powerful facts and analysis that outline solutions and drive change. ACs are generalists who work as members of case teams in roles that vary according to the team’s goal.

Bain helps each AC build the fundamentals of a business career – cracking tough business problems, communicating solutions with clients and teams, and collaborating with senior Consultants, Managers and Partners.

Bain invests heavily in the training and professional development of each AC. In addition to on-the-job training, ACs attend formal training programs including an extensive two-week onboarding program, followed by a ten-day program at a global location (COVID permitting), along with new ACs from other Bain offices around the world and continued through bimonthly local sessions for the entire Bain Australia AC class.

ACs are typically responsible for identifying information sources, gathering and interpreting data, and presenting their findings to case team members, as well as interviewing the client’s customers, competitors, suppliers and employers; this work becomes the basis of the case team’s strategic recommendation.

Do you have what it takes to succeed as part of the Bain team?

• Problem-solving: Management consulting is all about helping clients overcome their most complex business challenges. We look for candidates with the ability to examine a situation and formulate an effective solution. Team experience and academic achievement may also indicate strong problem-solving skills.
• Leadership skills: Do you have experience managing others in teams or groups? Whether through work, university or extracurricular activities, being a leader frames your application in a favourable light.
