Junior Associate – Advisory
Summary
A pioneering role for someone who wants to be at the cutting edge of AI-enabled consulting. You'll join Collingwood's Advisory team as the engine room of client delivery — orchestrating AI agents and automated workflows to drive better, faster outcomes for ambitious media and information businesses.
What you’ll do
* Research and analysis: Use AI tools to gather, organise and synthesise data across industries and competitive landscapes. Turn raw information into clear, actionable insight that shapes our strategic recommendations.
* Deliverable support: Support the development of client-facing materials — slides, reports, models — using AI to generate strong first drafts and ensuring every output meets Collingwood’s quality bar.
* Engagement coordination: Keep complex, multi-stream client engagements running smoothly. Manage diaries, track tasks, and maintain project data across tools including HubSpot and Method Grid.
* AI mastery: Stay ahead of generative AI and automation trends. Identify new ways to increase the speed and quality of delivery — and bring those ideas to the team.
About you
Essential
* 2–4 years of experience in a professional environment, ideally within consulting, media, or a high-growth startup.
* A “digital native” with a demonstrable passion for generative AI, prompt engineering, and workflow automation.
* AI proficiency: Experience using LLMs (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) and automation tools (e.g., Zapier, Make) to solve practical problems.
* Analytical mindset: Ability to perform quantitative analysis using Excel/Google Sheets and interpret data to find the “so what.”
* Tech literacy: Highly proficient with productivity software (Microsoft Office, Trello, Miro) and presentation tools (PowerPoint, Canva).
* Clear communication: Excellent written and oral communication, able to synthesize complex information into simple, clear updates.
Attributes
* Collaborative spirit: A “team player” mindset, ready to support senior colleagues and manage multiple tasks concurrently in a fast-paced environment.
