Oaklin

We continually recruit the brightest and most capable people.

ABOUT US

Genuinely different

All organisations must change to survive and flourish. We help our clients by providing the expertise, experience and good judgement they need to change at scale.

Across a wide range of sectors and organisations, we have built deep functional experience in finance, HR and IT, as well as across procurement, communications and mergers and acquisitions. To this we add our established capabilities, our tool kits for delivering successful change, that enable us to deliver exceptional results regardless of the problem.

At Oaklin, we always want to go one step further. Simply meeting the requirement is not enough, we want to deliver change that is truly exciting. It doesn’t matter if we are designing a programme to shift a market, or delivering an email to change a mind, we are obsessed with outcomes that excite and inspire. It calls for intellect, creativity and a lot of hard work, but it’s what makes a difference, so it’s what we do.

We only recruit the best consultants, irrespective of their backgrounds. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce, and everyone has the opportunity to shape and influence the business. Oaklin is proud to offer the best of both big and small firms, alongside a highly-competitive package of benefits to attract and retain the best talent.

WHEN AND WHY DID YOU JOIN OAKLIN?

I joined Oaklin in January 2022, I joined because I was looking for a new challenge and felt like the flat structure would be able to offer me the opportunity to develop my skills and further my career in consulting. I also loved every stage of the interview process. It was so refreshing meeting genuinely kind people. This reassured me that there was already a great culture established within Oaklin.

WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR HIGHLIGHT SO FAR?

The highlight so far for me is one of the events hosted by the Oaklin Women’s Network. A guest speaker named Stef Sword Williams was invited to speak to us about self-belief and how to block out self-doubt. The speaker did an amazing job in highlighting the power of self-belief to promote the development of your career and your personal life. Oaklin takes great interest in not only developing hard skills but soft skills that make all the difference to your day-to-day work and how you feel towards your development.

 

MOST REWARDING PROJECT AND WHY?

My most recent project saw me lead the digital programme for the launch of a new 4×4 across 36 markets globally. From day one I was thrust into the exciting world of all things ‘Automotive’ which allowed me to learn about the nuances of the industry whilst delivering essential programme management experience to an agile team. I quickly broadened my professional network and it has allowed me to work with experts in their field.

HOW DOES OAKLIN FEEL DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER PLACES YOU HAVE WORKED FOR?

Oaklin feels quite different from other places I’ve worked because they are small but mighty. We are fortunate enough to work with some of the most successful organisations across the UK & are consistently trusted for our exceptional client delivery by industry leaders. You can accelerate your career without the internal politics that you would otherwise face at a large hierarchical organisation.
