You may well not have heard of OC&C - yet We are a 600-person boutique strategy consultancy with 11 offices around the world. We specialize in Retail, Leisure, Consumer Goods, Media & Technology, B2B Products & Services and Private Equity. OC&C has more than 30 years’ experience unpicking the most complex and interesting questions facing businesses, with what we call ‘uncommon sense’.

OC&C has many things in common with the larger strategy consultancies - exceptional people, offices around the world and great opportunities for training and career progression. But we are different in a few ways that may be attractive to you as you consider your career options:

- Focus on a few exciting sectors: Consumer Goods & Luxury, Retail, Hospitality, Business Services, Media and Technology (no big FS, no government, no pharma )
- Highest share of true strategy work among top-tier consultancies (most of whom are increasingly focused on implementation)
- Typically smaller project teams, so you’re immediately involved in the whole project
- A more office-based model, with less traveling to client site and less 'living out of a suitcase'
- An opportunity to drive the firm’s future in the US: we are only 50 people in New York and just opened in Boston two years ago, and we have ambitious plans for growth
- Distinctive and entrepreneurial culture - but you can judge that for yourselves when you meet us
