Job Description

• Do you like working with the world’s leading multinational corporations that are confronted by dynamic and challenging supply chains in both nascent and emerging economies?
• Do you enjoy travelling internationally and getting to know a diverse set of locations globally? We work in countries as different as Guyana, Mexico, Trinidad and Tobago, Sierra Leone, Kenya and Vietnam.
• Do you have a background in audit, accounting or procurement and want to harness your skills into something that can contribute to making local economies more prosperous?
• Do you wake-up wanting to apply your academic and professional skills to make a difference? Do you hope that your work can help promote local employment and training national workers; develop local entrepreneurship and improve local technological capabilities?
• Would you like to develop your people skills – working with like-minded professionals, interacting with teams and cultures from across the globe, and with clients who are committed and best-in-class in their professions; engaging people whilst training in contemporary data and software management platforms and offering ad-hoc support and advice?
• Are you curious about how government regulations in nascent and emerging economies can lead to value added innovation in local content?
