A university degree isn't required and we don't expect you to know everything already.

Our mission is to give businesses the clarity and confidence they need to get the best from their technology.We work with major organisations across all sectors, offering unbiased, expert advice based on deep market insight, because we’re not tied to any vendors. Our consultants guide customers through every step of the journey; from shaping strategy and running procurement processes, to negotiating contracts and managing services over time.

As a Junior Associate at The Network Collective, you'll work alongside industry experts across our Consulting, Delivery Assurance and Commercial Assurance teams, gaining hands-on experience from day one. You'll receive training, develop valuable business and analytical skills, and play a genuine part in delivering work for our clients. This is a 12-month fixed-term opportunity with the potential to extend for a further six months in a specialist area, giving you the chance to discover what interests you most while building the foundations for an exciting career in a growing consultancy.

For our employees we're a supportive and close-knit team who collaborate to solve complex problems. Whether you're just starting out or looking to build on your experience, we offer a place where your ideas are heard and your growth is supported.

We’re a proud Living Wage Employer, and we believe in creating an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to do their best work.
