CVA is an international management consulting firm. From its inception in 1987, CVA has grown into a "global strategy boutique" with a broad spectrum of clients - major to top player - serviced by around 300 consultants based out of 16 offices worldwide.
As a "global strategy boutique", we assist our high-end clients in resolving their critical and often complex problems. We are privileged to have a large base of satisfied clients who continue to involve us in the process of resolving crucial issues.
Our success has stemmed from a differentiated approach in what we do and how we do it.
Whilst other consulting firms view businesses as assets to maximise, we have a Customer Centric approach where the focus is on maximising value to the customer and minimising the assets needed to do it.
The Role
A new Partner will join a highly successful team of around 10 people in the start up office of Milan and will be responsible for driving growth in one or more functional and industry sectors. Areas could include: strategic marketing, customer strategy, corporate finance, payment systems, retail banking.
She or he will be expected to develop new business opportunities, sell and lead major assignments and to build and develop a team of consultants in the relevant areas.
They will be expected to provide both content and "hands on" case management as well as building meaningful relationships with clients and prospective clients.
CVA places substantial emphasis on thought leadership and on the rapid development of new consulting approaches to maximise fast-changing client requirements.
Candidates
Candidates will be experienced and highly successful consultants, with a track record of working at Board level. They are most likely to have developed their skills working for a leading strategy firm or strategy boutique, rather than with the big four, and will be used to working with, and further developing, well constructed consulting methodologies.
Candidates will be active in both client development case delivery and Intellectual property development within the practice they currently work for. Alternatively they may have moved to industry in the very recent past and are now seeking to return to consulting.
Candidates will have strong intellectual skills and are likely to have gained a good first degree in a numerate subject such as economics, mathematics or engineering, followed by an MBA. International experience is a prerequisite and a second European language is required.
Candidates will be highly disciplined individuals, able to flourish within a non-hierarchical, global environment and motivated to build their own area of expertise, and team within the firm.
They will be attracted by the informal structure, CVA's "can do" attitude, earnings potential, and above all its speed of response and ability to spot and maximise new consulting opportunities.
Candidates will also be outstanding and open minded in approaching the complexity of the profession and facing the competitive challenges. This will stem from their keen business awareness. While working as part of a team, they will be prepared to engage and develop their colleagues while constantly reassessing their personal objectives in light of the needs of the firm as a whole.
Compensation
We are prepared to negotiate a highly attractive bonus driven compensation package, designed to attract Partner-calibre candidates from leading firms.
