The second is through thought leadership and contribution. We are committed to giving back to the commons our learning and ideas so that others can leverage and benefit from these, whether through academic articles, media or publications.
The third is through growing our people to be the best they can be, to build international calibre strategy capability right here in New Zealand. Whether you are aspiring to grow from within Aotearoa, or returning home from an international career, If you want to be part of our journey, we want to talk with you.
We have two career streams within PCG.
POLIS CAREER STREAMSAnalysts and Consultants
First, we are seeking highly qualified analysts and consultants to join our core team. Typically if you have one to three years consulting experience at a reputable firm, we seek to hothouse talent and fast-track your career, by placing you in senior-weighted teams with bespoke analysis.
We don’t do “template solutions”: we seek and develop original thought to solve cutting-edge problems. We want the best, and we value and treat our team accordingly.
We are committed to providing high quality training and development in an atmosphere that is inclusive, enjoyable and respectful.
Senior Associates and Associates
We also seek experienced, senior professionals who are available to bring significant expertise and experience to bear on bet-the-company issues for leading clients.
At Polis, our Senior Associates are the equivalent of partner, principal or manager-level professionals with many years’ experience, who work with us where their particular skills are relevant and valuable to our clients.
Our Associates are consultant or project-leader level professionals who also bring strong technical, project management or domain expertise to bear on our clients’ critical issues.
Both levels of Associates may be available to work full or part time with us. Our aim is to ensure that they get satisfying, original work and add value to our clients.
We are different.
The specialist Polis experience is that congruence of team, that cohesion that the combined force brings.
