Partner Pathways

You’ve proved yourself in professional services, and you’re ready for what’s next.
If slow and steady being the only way forward doesn’t suit you, Grant Thornton offers the alternative. We’re appointing 160 new Partners by the end of 2027, and we’re not stopping there.
If you’re driven and ready to put in the work, we will support you to progress rapidly. Opportunities are abundant and yours to own. Your skillset will drive you forwards here. Growth, recognition and influence are yours for the taking, and sooner than you think.

Why join us?
We're a firm that does things differently. We prioritise people – both our clients and our teams – within a human-centric high performing culture. We seek out diverse perspectives and never shy away from challenging our clients to do what is right – for them, for their communities and for society. As their partner or challenger, you will empower clients to go beyond their expectations.
What does this mean for you?
Joining Grant Thornton as a partner, or on your pathway to partner, means more than a title. Here, you’re a key voice in shaping the future. You’ll feel the difference from day one. Your business plan matters. Your ideas matter. And how you bring them to life will have a direct impact on the firm’s trajectory.
We’ve built a culture where partners, and those on the way to partnership, are empowered to lead with intent, collaborate across service lines and connect the dots for clients. It’s a place where you can make a real difference, to your clients, your team and the firm. You’ll be part of a leadership community that’s strategic, human and bold, not just professional.


Career development
Whether you join as a partner or on your pathway to partner, we invest in how you lead, not just what you deliver.
Our Leading the Partnership programme is built for partners. The first cohort completed it in 2024, and we’re rolling it out across the partnership. You shape your development around your career, your clients and the firm, so it works for all three.
Our recruitment process
We know going through a partner recruitment process is a big commitment, and we want you to succeed so will do all we can to enable you throughout the process. We offer prep calls before interviews, and members of our partner experience team and other partners are on hand to discuss the process with you.
All our partner candidates follow a specific process leading up to a final interview, which explores your strengths and areas of development. The typical partner recruitment process as outlined below:
- The business case and candidate case
- Quality and technical interview
- Psychometric assessment and deep dive interview
- Offer
