Growing company, superb opportunity, Minimal Travel!!

My client is a Consulting firm in the BI/DW space & they have an outstanding reputation in this market and an impressive client list to match. As they continue to expand out the scope of their operations & meet client demand they are now looking to hire 5 new Consultants to join their team, working on high level projects across the Information Management, Business Intelligence & Analytical space.

I am looking for candidates who have a minimum of 5 years commercial experience within the IT industry & who ideally have strong & relevant academics (ideally IT degree, although 1st class degrees in any subject are well regarded). Candidates can either come any type of company (end-user, System Integrator, Software House, Consultancy)as long as they have developed a deep knowledge in one area of IT. Ideally this will be in the BI/DW space ( e.g Business Objects, Oracle, Hyperion, SAS, Teradata, WherescapeRed, Informatica / Datastage, Brio, Microstrategy etc) although candidates from other backgrounds (Application Development using Java, J2EE, C++, .Net, Websphere, Weblogic etc) who have developed complex applications & have a strong grasp of systems & RDBMS principles (Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, Sybase etc) will also be considered - the discipline & ability to develop deep skills in a given area is more important than the actual area itself.

Candidates must possess a real desire to develop Consulting skills across the board, my client works closely with key players across a number of industries (Banking, Telco, Financial Services etc)& demonstrate the ability to combine strong technical expertise with the core skills that will enable you to become a Business Consultant (communciation skills, rapport buiding, presentation skills, influencing skills, problem solving, organisation & commercial awareness). This is a role where you will ultimately be applying technical solutions to solve business problems & successful Consultants will either have already (or display the aptitude to learn)the core skills/ability in this area.

This Consulting firm are very different to lots of other companies in this space & this is what makes these roles so exciting. Consultants at this company generally do their Consulting in around the Sydney CBD and North Shore/North Ryde so days away travelling or flying interstate are extremely rare as you will be working with local clients. In terms of hours Consultants here work a standard 40hr week with minimal weekend or out of hours work - high levels of producitivty and energy are expected in the normal working week but work/life balance & a life away from the office are things that are genuinely valued & supported her. These roles geniuinely offer all the great things that a Consulting firm offers (training, varied clients/industries, steep learning curves etc)without the traditional drawbacks (60hr weeks, lots of time away from home)which makes this a compelling opportunity. Additionally my client doesnt judge it's Consultants by looking at billable hours, but looks instead at client feedback, amount of training delivered & received etc as metrics of your success which is a refreshing change in the Consulting arena.

My client truly champions the training & devleopment of all its Consultants & they will fund any certifications/qualifications that you are looking to do. Every Consultant who joins is given access to a plethora of online training to encourage you to keep developing your skills & to keep learning. There is weekly 2hr training sessions that will round of your corporate profile & build your Consulting skills by giving you insights into different industries, methodolgies, orientation about the major players in the Software Vendor/Consulting space, client management skills etc. All this will ensure that week on week & month on month you grow as a Consultant, enabling you to tak
