Job Description

QR's reputation for product data management and consultancy has put us at the vanguard of transforming the automotive, aerospace and robotics industries across the globe, as they seek to build better products and a more sustainable future.

As a team, we are particularly excited to be supporting the development of some truly planet-changing products, including connected, electric and solar vehicles and an increasingly diverse range of new technologies.

We’re very proud to have been named in the FT’s Leading Consultancies list for the third year running, and we’ve also made it onto the Forbes global list of the best Management Consultancies.

With more new and exciting projects in development, we are currently seeking to strengthen our consultancy project delivery team.

If you're looking to kickstart your career in consultancy or project management, we can offer you interesting, exciting and impactful projects, together with fast-paced training, mentoring, and a caring company culture that promotes flexibility, fulfilment and work-life balance.

Quick Release Consultants deliver varied and complex engagements for companies who are looking to get their new technology to market faster and more efficiently.

Every project is different, and our consultants are empowered to leverage their judgment and expertise to solve a broad range of clients’ challenges.

Usually starting with a diagnostic, these projects very often rapidly scale up into much larger hands-on, cross-functional deployments, blending analytics and reporting with project management and software implementation.

Why QR Consulting?

• Influence a wide range of industries, from autonomous robotics, to green energy technologies, to electric vehicle start-ups, all over the world
• Work with C-suite stakeholders and senior consultants from day one
• Be part of a close knit, supportive team in a wellbeing-focussed company, where you're measured on your impact, not your timesheet

The Challenge

• Work with clients to develop a deep insight into people, process, system and data, to complete diagnostics and reporting.
• Develop strong relationships and become a trusted and knowledgeable advisor to clients.
• Shape solutions, propose project plans and support cross-functional and cross-business resources to deliver desired outcomes.
• Support deployments and development and of our technical / software tools and solutions.
• Work with senior consultants to shape the future strategy of the Consultancy division through internal improvement initiatives.
• Time spent on-site with clients has huge value, so travel is an important part of the role. We try to keep it local, but if further afield, you’ll always be home for Friday evenings.

We also host monthly Friday workshops at our offices in London to review our projects and connect with the team.
