Silver Sponsor: Google

"Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. And while we're committed to building the perfect search engine, our work goes well beyond delivering accurate search results. The spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship that made our company a success right from the start underpins the work we do every day, from constantly pushing the boundaries of our products to researching alternative energies or devising new ways to interact with our clients.

Our employees mean everything to us. Our strategy is simple: hire great people and support them in turning their aspirations into reality. Our employees are bright, passionate people with diverse backgrounds coming together to create a unique culture. One that fosters spontaneity and creativity, where accomplishments are recognised, and where the open exchange of ideas is encouraged, no matter what position you happen to hold. Working at Google is as much a mindset as it is a job!

Contrary to popular belief, we don't just hire engineers. Whether it's developing new business strategies, enhancing customer happiness, building complex financial models or bringing products to market, there are plenty of graduate opportunities at Google that don't involve algorithms. In fact, our work requires ideas from many non-technical fields including media, advertising, sales, marketing, business, communications and analytics.

As part of our commitment to hire and develop top talent, Google has created the Online Media Associate Programme (OMAP) for recent and experienced university graduates. Based in either Dublin, Ireland or Wroclaw, Poland, this 2.5 year career development programme offers graduates from all academic disciplines an overview of online business, advertising, and new technologies. Unlike traditional graduate programmes, OMAP takes up just 3% of your time, allowing you to focus on your core responsibilities primarily with Google's Direct Client Services, Advertising Operations or one of the more Technical teams such as Enterprise Support or Product Quality Operations."

Our focus is on developing smart profit growth strategies and we are truly unique in our field. We have delivered more projects in areas such as pricing strategy, portfolio optimisation and sales force effectiveness than any other consultancy - over 2,000 projects in the past 3 years alone. Our market focus creates a strong competitive advantage and is the key to our robust growth. During a difficult recession period which has seen consulting revenues across the industry fall, Simon-Kucher has continued to see healthy demand for our expertise. Currently we stand at 23 offices, 500 professional staff and in 2010 revenue of £90m.

The London office has a multiple industry focus including media, telecommunications, manufacturing/industrial, logistics, tourism, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals and financial services. As a consultant at Simon-Kucher & Partners you will be involved in all aspects of project work, from business development and analysis right through to the delivery of the final presentation to the client. Typical Simon-Kucher project teams are relatively lean; hence you can expect a high level of responsibility and exposure to clients from an early stage. This, in turn, allows for exceptional professional growth prospects. Significant opportunities exist for international travel, including our comprehensive international training program."
