A high-impact role helping our clients accelerate the energy transition  

 

About Ampersand

​

We are purpose-led management consultants on a mission to accelerate the transition to a sustainable, regenerative economy. We help our clients embed sustainability in their business strategy to improve their market position and drive long-term value.  

​

Our core values of courage, impact and collaboration ensure that we can provide high-impact advisory support with a flexible and pragmatic results-oriented approach. 

​

We work with carbon-intensive industries, including energy, commercial real estate (with deep expertise in data centres) and broader professional services.  

 

What makes us stand out as an excellent place to work? 

​

We’re not your everyday consulting firm. We’re a destination for top consulting talent, frustrated with large/typical consultancy ways. Here’s what we pride ourselves on: 

• Genuine and open culture, home-grown by a diverse, small team whereby your input feeds the development of the firm.  

• Work-life balance - we’re sensible and don’t work weekends or late evenings. We believe people do their best work when they stay fresh. 

• Impact for everyone - all our team can take the lead be that with clients, writing blog posts to capture our expertise or helping us scale our internal business structures/processes. 

• We’re all entrepreneurs - because we are small and relatively newly formed, we’re still building - so we love people who want to get stuck in and take ownership. You can truly build your own platform here as there’s so much white space for growth. 

• There’s no hierarchy - our analysts and consultants are our future partners. 

• We believe in work being enjoyable and having fun as a team.  

• We’re passionate about sustainability and truly believe in our mission
