Hey!

Kearney is actively hiring for various positions in the Middle East, including roles in Dubai and Riyadh. While specific Business Analyst positions are not currently listed (from my research) opportunities may become available. Additionally, Kearney offers the Ruwwad program, a 12-month graduate initiative in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, which can lead to a consulting career at the firm.

Regarding nationality requirements, certain programs like Ruwwad Kearney—Saudi Arabia may have specific criteria. For instance, the Ruwwad program in Saudi Arabia is designed for Saudi nationals.

However, Kearney's Middle East offices are known for their multinational teams, and they may consider applications from non-Saudi and non-Emirati candidates for other roles.

If you have further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out.

Hi there,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

  • First of all, yes, some of my coachees were invited by Middle Eastern offices of Kearney.
  • Moreover, apart from perhaps a brief period during the COVID-19 pandemic, there has really never been a complete hiring freeze, in any region or country.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming Kearney interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hey there, 

The short answer to this question is yes. The slightly longer answer is you may have to wait longer at some times of the year vs others for the next batched intake

All the best
