Your career

At Port Jackson Partners we believe that the early stages of your career are an ‘apprenticeship’. Consulting is a profession, and as such is characterised by continual learning under experienced mentors.

As with any apprenticeship, the quality of your experience and the rate of your development depend on:

  • The nature of the work you undertake;

  • The depth and breadth of your involvement;

  • The capability and experience level of your colleagues and mentors; and

  • Your opportunities to develop professionally.

Port Jackson Partners provides the opportunity for a world class apprenticeship with an elite Australian firm, built around four pillars:

  • Top-tier clients, focusing on their most critical issues;

  • Small, principal-intensive teams;

  • World class principals and an exceptional team of consultants; and

  • Structured career development with a personal, small firm feel.

A graduate position at Port Jackson Partners represents the beginning of any number of exciting careers. Paths taken by previous Business Analysts have fallen into three broad categories.

  • The Business Analyst position forms a great base for a future within Port Jackson Partners. We have tended to not recruit graduates from MBA programs. Port Jackson Partners therefore provides good opportunities for outstanding Business Analysts to grow within the firm and progress to Associate and then onto Director.

  • The experience you will gain as a Business Analyst is also ideal if you wish to attend business school. You will gain a wide exposure to a large number of industries and to high-level issues facing some of Australia's largest corporates.

  • The Business Analyst position also provides an unrivalled opportunity to begin a career in other industries or in business. You will quickly develop expertise in a wide range of business skills, and you will also benefit from a range of training programs. As a Business Analyst at Port Jackson Partners, you are exposed to a large number of industries (and possible future career paths). Your work will deal with high-level industry issues, leading to first-hand knowledge of the opportunities available in a variety of Australia's leading companies.

The greater awareness of future opportunities and your new skills will form a great base for your future career path. Former Port Jackson Partners Business Analysts are now working in financial services, media publishing, and as MBA qualified consultants, both within and outside Port Jackson Partners.
