Company Description

Who are we?

We are Analysys Mason – a global management consulting firm helping clients to make and act on the decisions that steer their progress and connect our world.

Specialising in technology, media and telecoms (TMT), we provide bespoke strategy, transaction, transformation and regulation and policy consulting, combined with research and insights. We help clients navigate complex transformation journeys, always shaping the next.

Since 1985, our team has expanded to 400+ professionals across 16 offices in 12 countries and our experts have taken on work in over 140 countries, making us a truly global company.

Our vision is to be the leading authority and catalyst for digital change, connectivity and inclusion. We are committed to a sustainable, connected future – contributing to a world where technology delivers for all.

Our graduate opportunities have a strong record of establishing early career foundations and developing well-rounded industry skills in our Associate Consultants.

You will work on a diverse mix of international projects with the best-known brands in the industry, applying our deep domain expertise and methodology to solve complex business issues.

You will attend our three-week comprehensive training programme where you will learn essential consulting skills and industry knowledge through courses, networking and teamwork.

After completing the training, you will join project teams and provide strategic advice and high-quality analysis on all aspects of strategy planning, transaction support, regulation and transformation while continuing your professional development.

Because our project teams are small, you will regularly get direct exposure to our world-class TMT experts, not only in your office, but also across our global locations. You will receive hands-on mentoring from experienced members of the team, including our Partners.

Our culture is collaborative and team-oriented, and you will have an impact on project delivery from an early stage, which will provide a steep learning curve and a structured career progression.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• conducting high-quality research
• offering quantitative and qualitative analysis of that research
• gathering and interpreting numerical data
• modelling and forecasting using various pieces of software
• presenting your main findings in written, graphical and live form
• contributing to proposal creation and client meetings
• collaborating with other teams across our global locations
• developing deep sector knowledge
• and more.

If you are a problem-solver who is critical and analytical in your approach, then this is the right job for you.

You must have graduated by September 2025, or earlier, and you must have a degree from any academic background (including STEM, Humanities and others).

You must enjoy working with numbers as we are a quantitative data-driven business.

As long as you are keen to learn about the sector, you do not need to have a TMT background. As a matter of fact, many of our consultants only became TMT experts after joining us.

You must be fluent in English.

Apply now with your CV and cover letter (optional) and we will be in touch in due course.

The interview process will combine face-to-face or virtual interviews (depending on where you are located) and you can find more details on our website at

We are proud to be an equal-opportunities employer and ensure fair work practices for all our people, clients, candidates or other associated persons.
