What We Are Looking For

You are analytical, accurate and comfortable taking ownership of your work. You can turn a broad brief into structured analysis, work effectively in a fast-paced consulting environment and respond constructively to feedback.

Most importantly, you are curious about technology and already comfortable using AI as part of your everyday work.

AI at Unify

AI fluency is an important part of working at Unify Consulting. From your first weeks, you will use AI tools as part of your daily workflow while following our confidentiality and data-handling requirements.

We are interested not only in whether you use AI, but how effectively you use it to research, analyse, solve problems and produce better work.
