Baringa Overview
We set out to build the world’s most trusted consulting firm – creating lasting impact for clients and pioneering a positive, people-first way of working. We work with everyone from FTSE 100 names to bright new start-ups, in every sector.
You’ll find us collaborating shoulder-to-shoulder with our clients, from the big picture right down to the detail: helping them define their strategy, deliver complex change, spot the right commercial opportunities, manage risk or bring their purpose and sustainability goals to life. Our clients love how we get to know what makes their businesses tick – slotting seamlessly into their teams and being proudly geeky about solving their challenges.
We have hubs in Europe, the US, Asia and Australia, and we work all around the world – from a wind farm in Wyoming to a boardroom in Berlin. Find us wherever there’s a challenge to be tackled and an impact to be made. Baringa believes that diversity is paramount to driving creativity, innovation, and value for our clients and for our people, and creating an environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging is central to our culture.
About the Corporate Function
The purpose of our Corporate Team is to help the business grow and make our peoples’ lives easier. To do this we provide business capabilities and services across Finance, IT, HR, Legal, Marketing and Operations. Baringa prides itself on a high degree of partnership and collaboration across our Consulting and Corporate teams. Corporate is seen as an integral part of the business. For our consultants who spend a lot of time working away from home and in different countries, we represent an important degree of expertise, constancy, and support. Baringa is at a key inflexion point in its journey from being a small, intimate business with high degrees of entrepreneurialism and individual independence, to being a bigger, international business which needs more consistency and infrastructure – but not too much. We don’t want to lose our pioneering, start-up-style adaptability, and flexibility, but at the same time, we want to operate with more consistency and predictability. Corporate is at the heart of navigating this change and it’s a demanding challenge. We don’t always have the best systems and processes in place – so we need people who want to create them and can work with a bit of chaos along the way. We especially like people who are comfortable with change, ambiguity and being very hands-on while at the same time ensuring we are delivering to significant strategic goals.
