Doherty Associates is an award-winning company with a focus on innovation and a reputation for developing highly effective solutions, no matter the complexity of the problem.
We could not achieve this without the combined expertise of our people. Many of our staff members have been with the company for several years; some from the very beginning. We have a great team dynamic underpinned by a collaborative culture that welcomes knowledge sharing and understands the value of developing supportive leaders.
If you think that your skills, knowledge, passion, and drive would find a happy home with us, we’d love to hear from you.
We may immerse ourselves in technology, but we never forget that it’s people who devise, tailor and deliver the solutions our clients need from us. And it’s people who make us what we are.
There are now well over 100 team members working with us internationally. But we all share the same core values encapsulated in our brand DNA – to be ‘relentlessly reliable’, ‘intelligent challengers’, and to always put ‘people before process’.
This is reflected in our own recruitment procedures and we look for candidates who express these qualities in their own unique way.
‘For me, there is no doubt that the success of our company is fuelled by the growth of our people. In the 30 years of the company’s history, I have had the pleasure of watching so many of our people grow and develop their skills and expertise – this is truly one of the most satisfying parts of my job and I feel honoured to work alongside so many dedicated, talented people here at Doherty Associates.’

Why work with us?
The latest technologies
We work with cutting-edge cloud-based technologies and are constantly seeking out the best of what’s new. We trust our specialists and empower them to influence and steer technological change. As a team member, you will be involved in both listening to and guiding our clients, and demonstrating the value of the services we offer.
Our commitment to sustainability
While achieving net zero will require bold transformation, our business model is geared towards a greener, more sustainable cloud computing future. We continuously re-engineer the services we offer, to make best use of the cloud tools available. And we are constantly learning how smarter technology can help us and our clients on the way to net zero.
Sponsored professional development
When our staff members succeed, Doherty Associates succeeds. So, we help all members of our team to shape a fulfilling career pathway using modern training and development tools.
Diversity, inclusion, belonging and equality
Doherty Associates is an Equal Opportunities Employer. We welcome people from all cultures, countries, races, generations, gender identities, sexual orientations, abilities, and beliefs, and do all we can to nurture an inclusive environment. We understand that diversity of background, experience and thought enables better decision-making, improves the quality of our delivery and helps us to meet the needs of our clients. And we also appreciate that sharing our various perspectives and educating one another is key to us being able to work together effectively and perform at our best. So, we don't want people to ‘fit in’ by conforming to a single way of being. Instead, we want everyone to enjoy the freedom to be #MyWholeSelf.
A wide range of benefits
Through our ‘mix and match’ benefits, we offer a range of choices designed to promote a healthier and happier life. In addition, our Employee Assistance Programme supports wellbeing by helping employees to navigate through various financial, mental and physical challenges in life.
Our supportive culture
Our culture is defined by our people. We value integrity, transparency, respect, and collaboration – and it shows. As an entrepreneurial business, we empower our employees to make independent decisions, to take measured risks and to know that we are OK with failure. We encourage everyone to speak freely and openly, and to provide feedback to their leaders as well as their peers, so we can all build on the lessons learned.
Qualities we value and actively look for
The capacity to make good judgement calls despite ambiguity
An appreciation that collaboration is key to problem-solving
The ability to build a genuine rapport with clients and stakeholders
We embrace differences and are always looking to strengthen our team by bringing in a wider diversity of experiences and perspectives.
Our recruitment process
We use modern recruitment tools to measure and monitor the makeup of our workforce. However, we don’t rely solely on AI to determine who we employ. Instead, we assess each CV personally, utilising the ‘human intelligence’ of a recruiter and a hiring manager to ensure we select on aptitude and potential, not just prior achievement.
While some specialist and more senior roles require a measure of previous experience (e.g. client consulting roles), we carefully assess the justifications around the need for specific qualifications.
Typically, the process looks like this:
1
Having submitted your CV, you will be asked to complete a short application form to ensure we have all the information we need at hand.
2
If selected, you will then be invited to a short interview with our Talent Team. This is a chance for us to meet before technical interviews, so you can decide how we can match the opportunity with what’s important to you.
3
If successful, you will then be invited to an interview with the hiring manager to explore the role in more depth, along with your strengths, what you can bring to us, and what we can offer you.
4
If successful, you will then be invited to a panel interview with the hiring manager and other stakeholders, (e.g. the relevant technical specialist). This will be a deeper dive into your technical skills, your approach to solving problems and your aptitude for the specific role.
