In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, we'll provide the resources, mentorship, and opportunities you need to become a stronger leader faster than you ever thought possible. Your colleagues—at all levels—will invest deeply in your development, just as much as they invest in delivering exceptional results for clients. Every day, you’ll receive apprenticeship, coaching, and exposure that will accelerate your growth in ways you won’t find anywhere else.
When you join us, you will have:
- Continuous learning: Our learning and apprenticeship culture, backed by structured programs, is all about helping you grow while creating an environment where feedback is clear, actionable, and focused on your development. The real magic happens when you take the input from others to heart and embrace the fast-paced learning experience, owning your journey.
- A voice that matters: From day one, we value your ideas and contributions. You’ll make a tangible impact by offering innovative ideas and practical solutions. We not only encourage diverse perspectives, but they are critical in driving us toward the best possible outcomes.
- Global community: With colleagues across 65+ countries and over 100 different nationalities, our firm’s diversity fuels creativity and helps us come up with the best solutions for our clients. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from exceptional colleagues with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
- World-class benefits: On top of a competitive salary (based on your location, experience, and skills), we provide a comprehensive benefits package to enable holistic well-being for you and your family.
What you'll do
In this role, you will work alongside senior knowledge professionals on larger client projects and internal knowledge.

You will spend the majority of your time supporting consultants and clients in solving challenging and complex business problems focusing on local energy topics primarily on the Czech, Slovak, and Central European markets. At times, you will be delivering market insights across other sectors (banking, insurance, consumer, etc.) within the Czech & Slovak markets.
You will work from Prague office as a part of the Geographic Client Capabilities Team. Intermittently, you may be embedded directly into client engagements, which means working closely with our clients and, in some cases, traveling domestically and occasionally internationally to their sites.
