London, United Kingdom Merlin Entertainments Group Full time

**Strategy Associate**

Riverside Building; County Hall, Westminster Bridge Rd
London, GREATER LONDON, SE1 7PB
United Kingdom

A job with Merlin isn’t like a job anywhere else. With attractions around the world, from rollercoasters to wax figures, we don’t trade in suits, handshakes or briefcases. We trade in fun. In smiles, shrieks and spine-tingles. In Memories. In magic. But there are no tricks behind our magic. Instead, there are people like you. Passionate, dedicated people who are committed to making sure our worldwide attractions and guests’ experiences are the best they can be.

Due to continuing growth and development of Merlin’s attractions and brands on a global scale, we are looking for a **Strategy Associate** to join our Strategy team. This role will be based at our London Cluster Office - County Hall office, reporting into the Director of Strategy - Midway, on a permanent basis. The salary on offer is up to £60,000 per annum, based on skills and experience.

**About the Role...**

Step into the exciting role of a **Strategy Associate**, where you'll be at the forefront of our grand global growth adventure at Merlin. Imagine shaping vibrant city center attractions that grace the world's most sought-after destinations. But this role isn't just about visions; it's about action. Dive deep into business operations, craft ingenious growth strategies, and champion the execution of strategic game-changers.

Join a close-knit team that values collaboration and fresh ideas. Here, hierarchy takes a back seat, and your voice matters. Engage with senior leaders daily, contributing your insights and expertise to our shared success story. From delving into past performance to fine-tune our sales channels, to envisioning the captivating 5-year journey ahead for Shanghai or New York, your role will be a dynamic blend of analysis, innovation, and execution.

And that's not all. Picture yourself reporting on exciting talks with potential partners, being the bridge between dreams and reality. Take the reins on diverse projects that birth new and captivating offerings in line with our growth strategy. This is your chance to not only be part of Merlin's evolution, but to shape it.

**About You...**
- You will have considerable experience of management consulting or comparable experience, as well as;
- Demonstrable experience managing complex projects or multiple projects simultaneously
- Comfortable working with data and interpreting findings to develop clear analyses
- Ability to effectively use MS Office to create clear presentations and reports
- Strong social skills to build rapport and relationships with internal stakeholders
- Strong attention to detail, organisational and time management skills
- Comfortable working in an ambiguous and ever-changing environment
- Previous experience within tourism/entertainment/hospitality or any other multi-site business would be desirable but not essential
- Project management qualifications would be desirable but not essential
- Advanced data skills would be desirable but not essential
- Able to commute to our County Hall office in London Waterloo
- ...and have a positive attitude and a love of FUN

**The Benefits**

We’re growing fast and alongside a fun and friendly environment, we offer a fabulous package and amazing prospects - ideal if you’re already fantastic and want to become even better (our magic can help here). Benefits include Pension, Life Assurance, discretionary company bonus, 25 days’ holiday and, of course, a Merlin Magic Pass which gives you and your friends and family free admission to all of our attractions worldwide, as well as 25% discount in our retail shops and restaurants and 40% discount on LEGO.

**Everyone Matters at Merlin.**

At Merlin we welcome the world to our magical attractions and resorts every day and we want to reflect that same multicultural mix inside our business too. We strive to create an inclusive and diverse workplace where people can be themselves, have the same opportunities and thrive together. Because at Merlin, everyone matters Together, we work to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, no matter their age, race, gender, disability or sexual orientation. Although we understand that we'll always be learning and growing, we aim to be the most inclusive and flexible employer in our industry.
