Associates

Jigsaw associates form a pool of experienced independent consultants who may be approached to support core members on projects requiring additional effort or particular skills. Associates are expected to have at least a degree level professional qualification, and several years experience of successful provision of high profile consultancy services with a strong emphasis on quantitative analysis.

The key qualities that Jigsaw requires in an associate are:

• Quantitative skills
• Clear expression both verbally and in writing
• Range of experience
• The ability to work without supervision
• Clear focus on the matter at hand
• The ability to establish good working relationships with the Jigsaw team and clients

The bulk of the work that Jigsaw undertakes is for the public sector and covers operational research, statistical analysis, and quantitative modelling, but a wider range of skills and experience is sometimes needed.

Jigsaw associates are normally drawn from the professional contacts of core members. However, Jigsaw is always interested to hear from people who meet the above requirements.
