Partners in Performance, Part of Accenture is a global management consulting firm with a focus on human performance and working alongside client partners to make change happen. We’ve got offices in Australia, New Zealand, South-East Asia, Africa, North and South America and Europe but prefer to spend as little time in them as possible. Instead, we work alongside our clients to unleash their potential and deliver lasting impact that you hardly ever achieve by sitting in a boardroom.
If you're confident to say you’re one of the market’s brightest minds, with a strong academic record to show for it, then we offer entry level opportunities where you can solve the most important and complex problems that clients are up against. You’re also an intrepid traveler, naturally curious and excited to experience all the world has on offer. So, don’t get stuck behind a desk & be pigeon-holed to an industry vertical when you can kick-start your career with a role at Partners in Performance.
The Business Analyst role is an entry level role where you would be immediately exposed to being the frontline change agent for our clients. You are the primary source of reliable data and rock-solid analysis, providing the fact base the improvement team uses to make decisions in real time.

- To work closely with other team members and client team members to collect/analyse data and provide insights
- At times, the business analyst may be given the opportunity to take on front-line coaching roles, especially with client analysts, to broaden their management experience
Key competencies: To be successful consultant at Partners in Performance, you not only need to be an outstanding academic performer, but also be dynamic, passionate and prepared to roll up your sleeves and work inside our clients’ businesses.
