Who We Hire
The sort of person we look for at Q5
Embrace a "startup" culture- as we grow in North America, we need team members who are ready to take risks, try something different, and join us on this new journey as we get our North America business up and running. Adventurers only need apply.Highly adaptable and flexible thinking style- We often find ourselves working across a variety of contexts and a ‘simple' challenge turns out to be much more complex than it first appears. You need to be able to quickly join the dots together and develop a plan to move forward. You also need to be able to adapt that plan when it is not working.Collaborative working style- This is one of our key differentiators. It's not about being the smartest person in the room but instead helping to bring different stakeholders together to create a solution that works for the business. There is a "we" not "I" mindset.Genuinely care about your clients and colleague to help them succeed - When Q5 was founded it was to be more than a typical, transactional consulting firm. We are genuine partners with our clients focused on their long-term success, which means we hire people who are wired to care, be empathetic and get joy from seeing others succeed.Resilient in the face of challenges, tight timelines, and client expectations- We continually strive to create a positive working environment, but the reality of our work is that it is hard and therefore not for everyone. The people who succeed at Q5 can work under the pressure without losing their sense of humor or care for others.You get your hands dirty and step-up- We have a flat structure. If you enjoy getting stuck into a client's challenge, pushing the team forward and solving problems with others you will thrive. We pride ourselves on developing our junior team members and creating supportive environments where people can bring their true selves to work (and in turn do their best work). We're firm believers that everyone needs to roll up their sleeves to get the job done!
