Your pathway to becoming a Management Consultant

The Aspire Programme explained

People, Passion and Partnership are at the heart of everything we do

The Aspire Programme is open to Consultant Analyst applicants with around three to five years of experience within the Financial Services industry.

Consultant Analyst roles are available across our business areas of Insurance, Investments, Digital or Programme Delivery.

The Aspire Programme offers supported progression over 24 months, through a mixture of formal and informal training, placement rotations across the business, and an external professional qualification.

You will have the opportunity to work on live client engagements alongside teams of consultants at all levels, get involved in bids and sales activity, become a thought leader in your area of interest and expertise, as well as work on a diverse set of internal project workstreams.

Alongside your line manager, you will have the opportunity to define your knowledge and skills growth areas, and decide to work towards and obtain a professional qualification in your chosen area, such as investment management, solution architecture, or agile change management.

If you don't meet all the requirements, we still want to hear from you!   We welcome applications from candidates with diverse skills sets who share our commitment to deliver exceptional results and strive towards high quality outcomes in all they do.

Please share your CV with Emma Millman  and we will be in touch if there is an opportunity which may match your skill set.

Eleanor Reid, Consultant Analyst

As I sit down to reflect on the whirlwind that has been my first three months as an Aspire Consultant at Altus, I’m struck by the incredible journey I’ve embarked upon.

Paul Couch-Burden, Digital Consultant

Before joining Altus Consulting as an ‘Academite’, Paul had worked in software and web development for 8 years giving him on the ground experience around API’s, requirements gathering, and data management.

Jenny Bannister, PMO Consultant

From a degree in psychology to spending a few years travelling, a ‘temporary’ move to Bristol (the land of colourful houses) turned out to be the best decision and one which led to a 6 year career in financial services.

Mike Barrett, Aspire Consultant

Before joining Altus, Mike spent over 5 years at Hargreaves Lansdown in a variety of roles including trading, financial advice, and operational management.

Jack Berrisford, Consultant

From joining the Academy, to fully fledged Consultant, Jack has over 10 years’ experience within the financial services industry and brings a wealth of firsthand experience spanning investment platform operations, risk oversight and process change.
