Graduate Consultant Unloq Limited is a mergers and acquisitions business based in Central Reading only a couple of minutes from the Railway Station. We help businesses and individuals buy and sell businesses more successfully. Our business is very digital-based, relying on data and technology to give it an edge as it competes with more traditional companies in the M&A space. As our business grows, we need to add to our team and are looking for a consultant to join our team, to learn how the market works and to help us achieve an even better 2024 for the company. About You We are seeking a motivated, organised, and efficient Graduate Consultant to be responsible for helping us manage a wide range of projects as effectively as possible. You must be comfortable with computers, confident on calls and dynamic with decisions. We want to train you to help lead the growth of the company. The practical work you will do varies. From data and analysis work, where you are reviewing company financial information or assessing viability and ownership all the way through talking to acquisition opportunities who need to be qualified and handled carefully. You will often be talking to and communicating with business leaders and you need to have enough confidence to do so without becoming too casual. So it helps if you have a mature and an unflappable manner and be able to manage a wide range of different roles and responsibilities. You do not necessarily have to have a degree, but you need to have good written English, a polite manner, good mathematical and organisational skills with attention to detail being paramount. Key Requirements of the Graduate Consultant Role: This is a busy role, and so, in addition you will ideally possess the following:

Outstanding coordination and organisation skills – required for managing and coordinating multiple projects, skills and communication skills
Interpersonal skills – you’ll need to be charismatic but professional when talking with prospects, clients, partners and other business contacts. You also need to be able to put yourself in the shoes of whoever you are dealing with - understanding their motivations and considering their perspectives
Excellent numeracy skills – for mental and typed calculations as you review financial data and figures, sometimes within calls with clients
Excellent literacy skills – you will be communicating with our customers, suppliers and installers via email and so an excellent standard of spoken and written English is vital
Commercial skills – you need a commercial mindset, keeping in mind the value you deliver, identifying margins and opportunities, understanding and spotting where the wins are
Computing – Unloq is a digitally transformed business, so everything is done online through web-based software and customer databases. We use a CRM, and do as much as we can digitally using the Google Suite, Slack and other products like Airtable. You’ll also need to be competent in typing, word processing and spreadsheets. Training will be given for other programs. In addition, a knowledge of social media (Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest) will be useful. This a full time position. The role will suit someone looking for a dynamic company, using technology and modern communications to serve customers better. We hope the successful candidate will be able to enjoy the day to day work as well as carving out their future career
