More than a job!
The drive and the desire to develop both yourself and skills are the key driver for our company. We are hungry enough to listen and understand but experienced enough to challenge and question. We not only have fun during working hours, but we also look forward to activities outside the office. We are proud of our corporate culture, but always strive to make it even better.
What can you expect?
Climber is a fast-paced and flexible workplace with high ceilings where you easily combine both your personal and work life. We are an active gang that likes each other and happily do things together. We have monthly team meetings, which include Go Karting, crazy golf, wine tasting, just to name a few, and quarterly training days. One of the highlights of the year is our Company Meeting, when all employees gather for a kick off somewhere in Europe.
AND WHAT ABOUT WORK?
With us, you can work in fun and challenging projects across different customers, industries and functions. The data-driven business is the goal that enables better business, no matter what the deal consists of. You drive the customer forward on their BI journey, have direct contact with the users and help them follow up their business.
Company Meeting
One of the highlights of our year is the Company Meeting, where all employees from all countries gather for a kick off for four days somewhere in Europe. We have walked in Chamonix, climbed in London and went ziplining in Split. This year we went Water Rafting in Slovenia’s beautiful capital Ljubljana.

Quick questions to the MD, David Anderson
1. DESCRIBE THE CULTURE IN THE UK CLIMBER TEAM?
We have a really diverse team in the UK, with people coming from a range of industries, countries, and educational backgrounds. Whilst this was never a key goal, it has really made the team well rounded. We are a young team and treat each other as extended family. Our culture is something we have worked really hard on over the years, and is something that really sets Climber apart from others.
2. TELL US ABOUT YOUR BACKGROUND. HOW AND WHEN DID YOU JOIN CLIMBER?
I began working life back in Melbourne, Australia as a Management Accountant. I spent my early career working on costing the manufacture of everything from Semi Trailers to cosmetics for the Body Shop, then taking a step into professional services at BDO. Whilst I enjoy numbers, my real passion was always around performance improvement and utilising technology to enable better decision making. I made the jump from Australia to the UK 10 years ago and came across a Qlik project that really formed my passion for what is now referred to as modern BI. Joining Climber in 2012, I was given the opportunity to build a team and culture that really shares my values, and has easily been the best career decision I have ever made.

DESCRIBE YOURSELF AND YOUR ROLE AT CLIMBER
Coming from a technical degree with working experience in management consultancy, my current project involves advising management and automating a number of complex reporting processes at PwC. Because of the huge environment and cross nature of data within different teams, I have been reviewing and adopting key reporting processes to free up valuable time for those originally doing it.
WHY DID YOU JOIN CLIMBER?
I wanted to move into a smaller consultancy so I had the opportunity to grow more quickly in the areas that I wanted to focus on. Climber gave me this opportunity and allows me to take on roles that would have been more difficult at a larger consultancy. In particular, I enjoy the family vibe that is evident within the team, meaning it is a fantastic work environment on top.
