Strategy & Business Design Graduate Analyst Program (Sep 2024)

Your role

Monitor Deloitte works with the world’s leading and most ambitious corporations, governments, and social sector organizations to drive growth on the issues that are most important to them. To that end, the firm has developed client advisory content and services in the areas they think are critical to growth: corporate and business unit strategy, marketing and sales, organization and leadership, innovation, national economic development, and social impact.
Monitor Deloitte’s client engagements are predominantly in industries and organizations facing important—often profound—transitions. Monitor Deloitte typically works with CEOs, business unit heads, and other members of the senior management team. Client engagements may be as short as a few months but often evolve into multi-year, wide-ranging, and transformative relationships.

Analysts are Deloitte's front lines of research, analysis, and presentation – building the team’s knowledge base around the industry and business issue at hand. As those who dive deepest into the issues, Analysts think critically and creatively to develop insights based on their findings from the research process. Analysts are exposed to a fast-paced and challenging environment – fostering rapid growth and development of Deloitte's people in line with their personal goals and objectives.
