Careers at Wave Advisory
We work across strategy, intelligence, research and advisory, from Abu Dhabi, for clients making decisions that are difficult to reverse.
The practice
Where you would be working.
Wave Advisory is the advisory division of Wave Group. It is a senior practice rather than a large one, and it is structured that way on purpose.
- Based
- Masdar City, Abu Dhabi
- The practice is headquartered in the United Arab Emirates and advises from it.
- Team
- Advisors and engineers
- A small senior group working across the UAE, Europe and the United States.
- Method
- AI-augmented advisory
- Senior judgement on the decision, with AI-powered intelligence produced behind it.
Disciplines
Three capabilities, one practice.
People here are hired into one of the three and expected to work across all of them. An engagement rarely sits in a single column.
01
Strategic Advisory & Transformation
Senior counsel and delivery capability for complex transformation.
02
AI & Decision Intelligence
Evidence for decisions that matter.
03
Strategic Communications
Senior counsel for reputation, leadership and moments that matter.
What the work asks
The standard, before the vacancy.
These hold whether or not a role is open, which is why they are set out here rather than inside a job description.
- Judgement earned in the room
- Wave clients work directly with people who have first-hand experience of decision-making, institutional leadership and major transformation. That experience is the product, so it is what the practice recruits for.
- Evidence before opinion
- Counsel here is expected to rest on research the practice can show its working for. An argument that cannot be evidenced does not reach a client.
- Comfort with the machine
- The intelligence behind the advice is produced with AI systems the practice builds and runs. Nobody is asked to be an engineer, and everybody is asked to understand what the evidence in front of them was made from.
- Discretion as a default
- Much of the work is with governments and institutions at moments they have not made public. It is discussed inside the practice and nowhere else.
Open roles
Nothing open at the moment.
Vacancies are listed here when they exist, and only when they exist. The practice does not run an open pipeline of postings.
Senior practitioners who would want to be considered when a role opens are welcome to write. Tell us where you have advised and on what; a note that says which of the three disciplines above your work sits closest to is the most useful thing you can send.
