Life at DVS

Our Values

Relentlessly Curious

Do you like solving puzzles? So do we. We take the time to evaluate and re-evaluate the best possible approach and strategy for our clients. We’re cross-functional, exploring the links between impact on each area of our 
clients’ businesses. We never stop exploring

Flexible

Do you like out-of-the-box thinking?
At DVS, lateral thinking is key. We
frequently work across the moving parts of a project to explore and unlock new potential avenues, finding new value for our clients by moving away from a linear consulting process.

Answer Focused

Do you like to see concrete results from your hard work? Creating objective value for our clients is at the forefront of what we do at Data Vision Services. By moving from the data upwards, and market research downwards, we know that the answers we reach are evidence-led and stand on solid ground.

‘For me, it’s the blend between challenging client work and engaging internal pieces. But above all else, it’s the people who support you to succeed and help you thrive.’

‘At DVS, I’ve had the chance to grow more in 7 months than in the 4 years before I joined.’

‘There’s a really friendly and collaborative environment – I love the flat hierarchy: everyone is responsible for the answer and there’s room for people to ask questions and debate openly as a result.’

‘The learning never truly stops. You get to the end of a six month period and look back, and you’re always surprised at just how much you’ve learned. Especially at the start of your career, where you’re looking to grow and upskill rapidly, DVS is a fantastic place to do that.’

Who we are looking for

We are expanding our team, and looking for bright individuals who like a dynamic and stimulating work environment.

About DVS
  • DVS is a startup consultancy, uniquely positioned at the intersection of data analytics and commercial strategy
  • We work on a variety of project types and across industries, however, there are a couple of key common threads in all of work: We focus on commercial value first, always digging deep into the business impact of our analyses and not simply delivering on a shopping-list of to-do’s or a rigidly defined brief
  • We answer strategic questions through the use of data. While focusing on the strategic question in hand, we get to answers by digging deep into data – ensuring our recommendations are specific and rooted in fact
  • We have worked on a variety of projects from devising pricing and commercial strategies to building decision-support tools for clients ranging from mid-market PE to FTSE 100 businesses
  • At DVS you will work with colleagues who have significant consulting and data experience, having worked in organisations such as OC&C, Monitor Deloitte and Strategy&

We hire at every level, from Associate through to Manager.
