The opportunity
As an Associate Consultant at Proxima, you will be part of teams delivering high-impact commercial, sourcing, and supplier initiatives. You will support the development of insights, contribute to solution design, and play an active role in shaping outcomes, not just recommendations.
This is an experienced early-career role designed to build strong consulting and procurement foundations while contributing meaningfully to real client outcomes. This is not a passive learning role. At Proxima, we are practitioner-consultants. You will build experience quickly, take responsibility early, and work alongside clients to deliver real, measurable change.

Working through realistic business challenges, you'll develop critical thinking, problem-solving, analytical, and storytelling skills in a supportive learning environment
- You'll also have regular opportunities to challenge yourself through presentation exercises, helping you build confidence, strengthen your communication skills, and refine your delivery. Through continuous practice, feedback, and coaching, you'll develop the executive presence needed to effectively engage stakeholders and deliver impactful recommendations
