Please be aware that some of our UK roles at PA Consulting require a UK security clearance.

All PA people are required to undergo background checks and to achieve the Baseline Personnel Security Standard however, some UK roles also require higher levels of National Security Vetting, where applicants must have at least 5 years of continuous residency in the UK.

We therefore ask that you only apply if you meet the residency requirements (i.e. you are a British citizen or have been resident in the UK for the past 5 years), as this is the prerequisite for a security clearance. If you're unsure about your eligibility, we encourage you to review the UK Government’s guidance on security vetting before applying.

In the very short-term, you will have launched a fully operational partner programme that is attracting high-value partners, generating measurable revenue growth, and delivering innovative joint solutions for customers. You will have established a scalable operational framework, built strong partner relationships, and positioned the programme as a key driver of our competitive advantage in the market.
