Connect to your Industry
Within Deloitte’s Innovation & Ventures team, we address complex, multifaceted, and often ambiguous challenges across diverse industries. Imagine exploring questions like ‘What could an open museum in the desert look like?’, ‘How might we create a metaverse concert to launch a whiskey NFT?’, “How can GenAI create value within private equity portfolio companies?” or ‘How might we reimagine cancer screening in the UK?’. We are a dynamic team of designers, researchers, and strategists with roots in the design-led innovation consultancy Doblin and Monitor Deloitte’s lean start-up consulting team.
Guided by our ethos of being creative, entrepreneurial and bold, our toolset combines strategy development, human-centred design, and Lean Start Up methodologies to develop new ventures and innovate across product, service, and business models.

Personal independence
Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints (e.g., in relation to any financial interests and employment relationships). This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm). The recruitment team will provide further details as you progress through the recruitment process, or you can contact the Independence team upon request.
