Students & graduates

Make the possible happen

At CIL, we offer a career, not a scheme.

Graduates join real project teams early on – helping high-growth businesses solve complex problems and make confident decisions. You’ll gain early responsibility, meaningful client exposure, and a business education that takes you far further than the classroom. Before that, you’ll take part in a structured induction program, designed to get you up to speed and help you build connections with your cohort.

We’re looking for curious minds, sharp thinkers and team players who want to do work that matters – and grow quickly by doing it.

Work that matters

At CIL, we help clients make high-stakes decisions that shape the future of their businesses. Whether it’s validating a new market, rethinking a commercial strategy, or unlocking growth, the work we do has real impact – and so will you.

You’ll work closely with ambitious clients, smart teams, and a senior leadership group that stays close to the work. Every project is a chance to stretch your thinking and deliver insight that drives action.

Careers

Why start your career at CIL?

We’re growing – and you will too

We’re growing – fast, with offices across four countries – and more to come. That growth creates real opportunities for our people. Many of our senior team started as Analysts, and our promotion model is performance-led, not time-bound. You’ll be given early responsibility, meaningful work, and the chance to shape your career from the very start.

Our culture is something special

This isn’t a place for egos or elbowing. It’s a place where smart, kind people work hard, support each other, and have a good time doing it. We’re proud of our open, inclusive environment – one where every new joiner is treated as a valued colleague, not just a grad hire.

We’re a business with purpose

We believe businesses can and should be a force for good – which is why we’re a certified B Corporation®. That means we meet high standards of social and environmental responsibility, and we’re committed to doing business thoughtfully. From reducing our climate impact to supporting local charities and mentoring underrepresented talent, we take our impact seriously – and we want you to be part of that.

What we look for

We don’t expect you to know everything. But we do look for curiosity, ambition and drive.

We’re looking for:

Strong academic results from a world-class university (degree subject is up to you)
Sharp numeracy and excellent written and spoken English
Additional languages are a real asset — especially Danish, French, German, Spanish or Swedish, as many of our projects are international

If you're intellectually curious, ready to learn, and keen to make an impact, you'll fit right in.
