Working at Javelin Group

Culturally, Javelin Group’s defining characteristics are intellectual honesty, an open, collaborative working environment, and dedication to learning and retail expertise.

These have been central to our success so far. Clients know that they will get honest recommendations from us with the best interests of their shareholders in mind. We have a very non-hierarchical and informal management style in which colleagues know that their opinions, whether about a project or about Javelin Group’s own direction, will be listened to and debated. We are committed to enhancing the retail expertise within our firm through training, rotation of staff across different types of project, the development and transfer of industry-leading methodologies, and the allocation of time to explore new retail concepts and formats. We want Javelin Group to be the best “retail and omni-channel business school” in the world.

Teams

We configure project teams in many ways depending on clients’ needs, working on projects with our Retail Strategy & Consulting colleagues only, or with wider Accenture teams to deliver the best possible results. For example, a project to assess the risks of a retail acquisition by a private equity investor may require a strategy consultant (to consider the market, the proposition and the economics of the business), an operational specialist (to review sourcing, logistics, buying and merchandising, and store operations), a store locations specialist, and a technology specialist. This combination means that specialists in one discipline soon become conversant in the other disciplines.

Careers

Javelin Group has its own six-tiered career progression structure: associate consultant, consultant, senior consultant, manager, associate director, director. Recruits to Javelin Group may start at any level, depending on previous experience. Progression from there depends entirely on personal performance.
