Job Description

AI & Data Graduate Programme FY28

Application Deadline: 25 October 2026

Department: Strategy & Consulting Ireland

Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time

Location: Dublin

Compensation: €40,000 / year



Description

Technology is changing the world faster than ever before – and at the heart of every great change is a great human. If you have ideas, ingenuity and a passion for making a difference, come and be a part of our team.   

Every day around the world, we work with exceptional people, the latest and greatest tech and leading companies across industries.  

You'll learn, grow and advance in a diverse culture of shared success, where we’ll empower you to bring your skills, your curiosity and your best true self to your work. 

Join us and do extraordinary things. 

The question every major organisation is working on right now is the same: how do we get real value from AI, serve our customers better and change how our business operates? That is the work our AI and Data practice does. 

As a graduate, you will work directly with clients on that question. You will join project teams taking AI from strategy through to delivery, help organisations understand what their data can do, and build the confidence to advise senior stakeholders on decisions that matter. The technical depth you bring will be put to work on real problems from the start. 

This role is for people who want to understand a business, shape a solution and help make it happen. 

Here is a taster of the diverse work our AI & Data analysts do: 
  • Radically reimagine a client process with AI and be at the heart of the delivery 
  • Scale AI solutions for the world's largest companies as an AI engineer 
  • Define the most valuable commercial use cases for a client as an AI strategist 
  • Drive enterprise AI adoption, from frontier AI tools to AI-native software delivery 
  • Surface insights that executives can act on as a data scientist 


What We're Looking For

We are looking for graduates who combine strong analytical and technical ability with the confidence to work directly with clients. The role requires both: people who can get into the detail of the latest frontier AI model, and people who can step back and explain what it means to a business audience.

We are looking for graduates who are familiar with any number of the following:  
  • Knowledge of how data and AI can be used to solve business problems 
  • Experience with generative AI and agentic AI technologies 
  • Cloud data platform experience/knowledge (AWS, MS Azure, Google Cloud Platform) 
  • Data science knowledge with any of Python, SAS, R, Scala, PySpark or other relevant coding language  
  • Knowledge of machine learning modelling techniques 
  • Knowledge of data warehouse tools and database technologies e.g., SQL, ETL, No-SQL and other big data technologies  
  • Experience in or knowledge of data visualisation tools such as Tableau, Qlik, Looker or Power BI 
Familiarity across all technical areas is not expected.  

As well as technical ability, you should be able to demonstrate: 
  • Structured thinking & the ability to break a complex problem into clear components 
  • Genuine curiosity about how organisations operate & where technology can help 
  • Strong verbal/written communication & presentation skills 
  • Ability to adapt and learn in a continuously changing environment 
  • Experience in team or leadership roles in extra-curricular activities 
  • Creativity, initiative, and a growth mindset 
All candidates will have a minimum 2:1 degree, obtained or predicted.


What's In It For You?

Training & Development

We’ll invest in your development from your first day and ensure you have all the training you need to hit the ground running. We provide a structured and detailed induction programme with our supportive graduate community. You can also look forward to mentorship from some of our most successful leaders. You will have dedicated training, project and research assignments in areas like Data Analysis, Gen AI and Analytics strategy.  
 
This training will help you build the all-round skills needed for success, but your project experience is where your learning will really come to life. The variety of live client work you take on will help you develop skills that stay with you throughout your career, while virtual classrooms and on-demand learning will keep you close to the latest technologies, industry trends and new ways of working.
