Description
Given the growth that Efficio is going through, we are looking for Business Analysts (BAs) to provide support to project teams working on consulting assignments.
Business Analysts roles are targeted at graduate entry level candidates and are the first step into management consulting.
Although based out of our new office in Dusseldorf, Germany, our BAs will be on client site up to 4 days a week and therefore need to be flexible and interested to travel.
- Working under the guidance of an experienced consultant, their key role is to collect, analyse and synthesise data from a variety of sources. The insights and understandings from their analysis provide important inputs to the project team's recommendations and solutions.
- BAs also provide input to client presentations, and work with other team members on day-to-day delivery of projects - for example, they may assist with developing and issuing RFPs and evaluating proposals from suppliers. They interact with clients and their suppliers as needed.
- BAs are typically involved in client facing projects at client sites from day one, so they need to be able to learn fast and get up to speed quickly and work effectively under pressure. They must be able to work independently, while also being team players who are willing to contribute wherever needed to ensure the success of the project. The ability to prioritise their work effectively in the face of sometimes competing demands is also essential.
- BAs are expected to challenge existing ways of doing things and suggest new ideas. However, they are also expected to be able to justify their conclusions and recommendations with relevant experience and rigorous, fact-based analysis.
Efficio has a collaborative, supportive culture where performance is recognised and success is celebrated. BAs are supported to continually develop their skills and expertise through a comprehensive training and development programme including formal training (through the Efficio Academy), on-the-job training, and coaching and mentoring from experienced consultants and Efficio executives. The opportunities and support that come from a role as an Efficio BA make it an unmatched springboard into a top-tier consulting career.

With Efficio, you will enjoy the benefits of working with an established management consultancy that still maintains its entrepreneurial spirit and close-knit community. We’ve almost doubled in size over the last few years, and we don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. We’re looking for the future leaders of Efficio who will continue to invest in what matters to us: supporting our clients’ success, celebrating creativity, and helping our team to follow their passions and ambitions.
We’re proud of our company culture – collaborative, dynamic, down to earth, and fiercely international. Our teams devote the time to connect, learn, and socialise across project teams and offices globally.
Our people are at the heart of what we do, and we work hard to rapidly develop our talent and invest in ongoing training. We have built world-class L&D capability (the Efficio Academy) – combining on-the-job training with structured classroom led trainings and management development programmes – not just for our team, but we help upskill our clients, too!
