If you're looking for the next step in your career in consultancy or project management, we can offer you interesting, exciting and impactful projects, a genuinely positive and caring company culture, great learning and progression, and products that are both ground-breaking and good for the planet.
Quick Release Consultants deliver varied and complex engagements for companies who are looking to get their new technology to market fast and more efficiently. Every project is different, and our consultants are empowered to leverage their judgment and expertise to solve a broad range of clients\' challenges. Usually starting with a diagnostic, these projects very often rapidly scale-up into much larger hands-on, cross-functional deployments, blending analytics and reporting with project management and software implementation. Our continued growth means we have opportunities for consultancy expertise across a range of UK locations with a range of 2025 start dates.
