Harvey Nash Scotland was setup in 2008 with just a couple of consultants in a small office in Edinburgh’s West End. In the last 10 years Rhona and the team have turned that tiny team of consultants into a team of 20+ thriving experts and has led Harvey Nash to huge successes. They have rapidly outgrown 3 offices and are now in their newly-designed suite in Waverley Gate at the East end of Princes Street (just above Waverley Station). They work with a number of Scotland’s top companies, which range across massive corporations, emerging tech start-ups and the public sector. The potential is limitless and we’re always adding to the list of people we work with.

Working for Harvey Nash offers challenges and rewards in equal measure. You will be working from our new offices where you’re provided with free tea, coffee, sweets and fruit (we try to be healthy!). We have discounted membership at our local gym – which happens to be next door to our office!
