Analyst

Analyst

Application Deadline: 12 June 2026

Department: Consulting - Entry Level

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Munich

Compensation: €66,000 / year

Description

CIL is a global growth strategy consultancy. We work with organisations on the decisions that shape growth, from value creation strategies to pricing, data and analytics.

Our approach is rigorous and practical, grounded in deep sub-sector knowledge and careful analysis. We dig into the detail, test assumptions and stress-test every recommendation against the realities of the market. That's how we help organisations see what matters, think ahead, and set clear priorities that lead to confident decisions and strategies built to deliver results.

We have offices across the UK, US and Europe, and work across a wide range of sectors. Although we work in structured project teams, we are socially very equal, friendly and inclusive - our 'culture' is the product of our people. Our values of excellence, integrity, and supportiveness guide how we work, both with clients and each other.

Our Munich office opened in 2021 and has since grown to include 11 consultants. We are currently hiring additional team members to continue this growth.
