Development
IAMCO seeks to develop well-rounded professionals with a range of skills and experience, instilled in a number of ways.
Exposure to complex management issues at the highest levels of our clients’ businesses
Our clients tend to be large, multinational organisations, requiring support on business strategy or acquisitions. We are commissioned by general managers or business development executives at corporate or business unit level. Many of our clients are household names or leaders in their fields.
Experience of a range of sectors and issues
Our clients participate in a broad spectrum of industries and geographies. You will work on assignments that last an average of two to three months. You will not be ‘pigeon-holed’ into focusing on one sector or type of analysis; rather we seek to develop consultants with a rounded base of skills and experience.
Work alongside senior colleagues
To a degree unparalleled in many other firms, you will work closely with Managers and Partners of the firm, who will provide mentoring and guidance as required, and challenge you to perform to the best of your abilities.
Responsibility from day one
Your input into project planning and the generation and testing of hypotheses is invited from day one, and your views are listened to alongside those of more seasoned colleagues. As you gain experience, you will take on increasing responsibility for analysis, report writing and management of more junior colleagues.
Formal training
On-the-job learning is supplemented by an on-going programme of formal training, using a combination of external and internal trainers, as appropriate. The schedule incorporates technical and analytical tools, project management, communication and presentation skills, and strategic frameworks, among other topics.
Participation in improving IAMCO processes
As a small company, we encourage you to make your mark on how things are done at IAMCO, and your suggestions for improvements are welcomed in any area of the business.
Regular performance evaluation
We provide frequent feedback on your performance and development, and invite your views in return. When you first start work at IAMCO, you are given an informal appraisal after three months, and formal appraisals after six and twelve months. Thereafter, formal appraisals are given every twelve months, with an informal evaluation halfway between. At the end of each assignment, employees complete self-evaluation forms that are discussed with project managers.
