HOW WE WORK
As a consultant at Arkwright, you will work closely with top-level management on challenges that define a company’s future path. Your success at Arkwright is measured by your ability to create value for the client by developing unique and actionable insights with your team.
As a strategic advisory firm, our work involves both strategic and M&A advisory. The duration of our engagements is typically shorter than those of consultancies that are involved with strategic implementation and operational improvement. Therefore, you are exposed to a wide range of industries and work on the toughest issues at the top of our clients’ agendas. Ultimately, working at Arkwright gives you an understanding of the common denominators of successful companies.

As member of a small project team, you will work closely with top-level management on the toughest and most strategic
issues on their agenda, across a wide range of issues and industries. A career at Arkwright will give you a unique opportunity
to learn what drives growth and profitability, and how to make businesses succeed.ᅠWe are characterized by an

new responsibilities as they develop.
