Copernicus is an international strategic planning consultancy working in the SME sector. Our business model is unique for the SME sector in that we not only currently have international offices in 6 countries, with planned expansion in to 4 more by the end of 2010, but that we work in part on a pay by results basis. The success of our client is also our success.
Our consultants currently work primarily from inbound enquiries or leads generated by our marketing efforts. Typically our consultants are generalists, receiving sector specific support from a relevant partner on a project by project basis.
On average our consultants will work on 4 strategic projects per annum, handle 2 projects for our international offices and be responsible for generating 4 international projects from their designated region with head office support.
We work hand in hand with Chambers of Commerce, UKTI, ThinkLondon and several international inward investment agencies representing their respective countries based in embassies across our core and target markets.
The title "Business Evangelist" is there for a reason. Only candidates passionate about their work and the success of our clients need apply.
For the successful applicants this is a real opportunity to join a business with a positive working culture which always delivers results. 1st year earnings should be not less than £85k, rising to £125k year 2. After that it is up to you. Outstanding success will be rewarded with the possibility of equity participation.
To be considered you will certainly have either held P&L accountability or a senior consultancy position. You may have an MBA, but common sense, drive and an ability to see problems as mere challenges is more in keeping with our ethos.
You will be articulate, smart of appearance and able to build business relationships with consummate ease. Computer literate, articulate and a skilled presenter you may be an accomplished public speaker, or have the skills and technical expertise that speaks for itself. Your experience, successes and failures, will earn you respect from your clients and your peer group. We say failures because it is all part of the learning curve. If you have yet to experience failure in your life please do not apply, you are a failure waiting to happen.
As an international organisation we value language skills, and currently are actively engaged in projects where the following languages would be an advantage. Danish, German, Swedish, Dutch, Norwegian, Finnish, French, Turkish, Arabic and Polish. That is not to say that we would not be interested if your skills were in languages other than those, or if like many of us, are still managing to get by with English.
You need not work full time with us, but our experience to date is that consultants who join us are never short of projects or fees. OTE year 1 is £85k, Year 2 £125k, after that it is up to you. Share options and indeed Senior Partnerships will be available to those who invest their skills and energy in the Copernicus Commitments and our way of doing business and prove themselves by their results and the levels of customer satisfaction that they generate.
We are now expanding from our Manchester base to cover the UK. The Copernicus consultancy is not for everyone, but if you believe it could be for you we would be interested to hear from you.
