• Commercial data and performance analysis
• Supplier Relationship Management

Pigment is all about collaborating, working as one cohesive team, so we are looking for consultants who naturally enjoy being part of upskilling and transferring knowledge to others, helping each other to empower and thrive. Importantly, you'll want to be part of Pigment and believe in our journey to truly add value to our clients by being part of a curious and unified team.

Most of our work can be delivered primarily remotely, with a need to be in London offices on an ad-hoc basis when required for meetings and workshops.
