### **About Coppett Hill** 

Coppett Hill is a technology-enabled consultancy, enabling private equity backed businesses to transform how they find, win, keep and grow their customers – their ‘Go To Market’.  

We combine our senior team’s experience as both operators and investors with proprietary technology to find insights and inspire change for our clients. We are privileged to work with some of the most exciting and impressive companies across a range of B2B and B2C industry sectors.  

Our innovative approach and growing demand for value creation work in the private equity market is leading to significant demand for our services and we are growing fast. Founded two and a half years ago, and now a team of 23 people, we have ambitious plans for our growth and this role presents an exciting opportunity to fast track your career and contribute to building a business while working closely with clients to transform their businesses.  

Our leadership team combine backgrounds as strategy consultants (ex PWC / Strategy& and BCG), private equity investors (ex Livingbridge) and operators (ex CMO at CarTrawler, ex CEO Scale Space, ex MD Spotlight). We believe we are building a truly differentiated consultancy - one that delivers significant impact for clients, leverages best in class proprietary tech, and supports our team to do their best work. Core to our approach is enabling high potential to become high performance, both for our clients and our team. 

In a short space of time we have established a strong market reputation, evidenced by our recent shortlisting for ‘Value Creation Adviser of the Year’ at the Real Deals Private Equity Awards 2026. 

### **The role** 

As a Senior Associate you will be a key member of the team, working alongside a Project Leader to deliver client projects. We are a small team, so you will have high impact and exposure from the start.

-   Building an understanding of each client’s requirements, their business, wider market context, and value creation plan to support project delivery 
-   Undertaking research to build an evidence base for recommendations, for example designing and conducting customer or expert interviews, or conducting mystery shopping   
-   Framing and conducting analysis of both company-provided and market data to identify trends, opportunities and challenges – using both established Coppett Hill technology tools as well as designing bespoke analytical approaches.  
-   We work in SQL, Tableau, Excel and Python – some experience with SQL and/or Python is a pre-requisite, we will also provide training as part of our Coppett Hill Academy 
-   Distilling recommendations and presenting findings to clients, and supporting clients to put recommendations into action 
-   Supporting and collaborating with junior team members in delivering their work

Or you’ve worked in a big consultancy with a focus on private equity deals, but want to have more impact with clients and better work-life balance? We are open minded to other backgrounds as long as you have the analytical skills to solve business problems end to end.

-   Analytical skills with experience working in one or both of SQL and Python, and ideally skilled at using at least one visualisation tool (e.g. Tableau, PowerBI)  
-   A commercial mindset and an interest in business and Go To Market strategy 
-   Clear written and verbal communication and strong relationship building 
-   Committed team player – you want to have real impact with clients working at pace as part of a project team 
-   Self-directed and proactive – you will have considerable responsibility from Day 1

-   Strong analytical and problem-solving skills – combining commercial acumen with a data-driven mindset

-   Work experience with a data visualisation tool, preferably Tableau 

###  **The sort of people we’re looking for** 

-   Are capable and data-driven with a flexible thinking style 
-   Want to add value for clients, more than creating a ‘pretty slide deck’ 
-   Suggest solutions after identifying problems 
-   Are kind and contribute to creating a great working environment  
-   Are eager to learn and willing to be wrong 
-   Embrace a “startup culture” and want to be part of building the business
