Helping you to succeed
At Proxima, there are lots of opportunities to take your career in different directions.
You will work on exciting and varied assignments, allowing you to develop or enhance your specialism, become a rounded generalist, or get exposure to other disciplines like sales and account management.
When it comes to your career, you are in the driving seat, and we are right alongside you, helping you through mentoring, career coaching, and day-to-day support from your team.
Turn your ambition into action
Complex organizations have complex challenges, and we want you to help us solve them. At Proxima, your insights and ideas matter as we deliver a specialist procurement experience for our customers powered by outstanding market knowledge and with people at its core.
What will I be doing and who will I be working with?
We’ll trust you to deliver outstanding results for our clients – some of the world’s leading organizations who come to us because they want to make change happen. You’ll be at the heart of it, analyzing, strategizing, planning, and doing while working in collaboration with your Proxima peers, our clients’ teams, and, at times, strategy consultants from our parent company, Bain.
We call it the 1:4 experience; a year in consulting is worth four in a corporate. Our extensive training program is there to compliment your client work and make sure that you have the fundamentals to be a success in consulting. We run a wide variety of training programs to suit those new to the workplace or those arriving with a wealth of experience from industry, helping you to adapt to your new world of consulting.
Your first six months will include a range of training opportunities, including a residential consulting skills course that you will undertake with other new team members. Throughout your time in Proxima, you will undertake bespoke training on topics such as Presentation Skills, Creative Thinking, Business Writing, Coaching and Mentoring, Health and Wellbeing, and Implicit Bias.
Beyond our Proxima training curriculum, we also provide support for professional accreditation and run an annual competition to win the chance to do an eMBA course.
Where there are other more bespoke training needs or ambitions, the Proxima X-Fund provides successful applicants with funding for personal and professional development opportunities.
Opportunity to Travel
We work where our clients and their supply chains are, which means opportunities to travel domestically and internationally. A career in consulting can take you all over, and for many this is undoubtedly one of the perks of the job; going places and getting experiences which you ordinarily wouldn’t in another role. In addition to regular travel for client work, where possible, we support employees with secondment opportunities to allow them to experience working across Europe and North America.
