Job Description & Summary

About the Role:

We are growing our Enterprise Strategy & Operating Model team, helping some of the UK’s leading organisations turn strategy into practical, deliverable change.

Our work centres on helping clients answer some of their biggest organisational questions. How should they organise themselves to deliver their strategy? What capabilities do they need? How should accountabilities, processes, technology, data and people come together? And how do they move successfully from today’s organisation to the one they need for the future?

We work across industries and across the public and private sectors, supporting clients through large-scale transformation, operating model redesign, organisational change, digital transformation and complex implementation.

As a Manager, you’ll lead client engagements and workstreams, bring structure to complex problems and work alongside multidisciplinary teams to design and deliver transformation from strategy through to implementation.

You’ll also play an important role in growing our Enterprise Strategy & Operating Model team, developing our people, propositions, methods and client relationships.

 

What your days will look like:

• Leading the design and delivery of complex transformation and operating model engagements, from early strategy and design through to implementation
• Helping clients translate their strategic ambitions into practical choices across organisation, governance, capabilities, processes, people, technology and data
• Structuring complex problems, developing hypotheses and creating clear, evidence-based recommendations for senior client stakeholders
• Leading workstreams and multidisciplinary teams, providing direction, coaching and quality assurance to colleagues
• Building trusted relationships with senior client stakeholders and helping them navigate complex organisational choices and transformation challenges
• Supporting clients to move from operating model design into implementation, including mobilisation, transition planning, organisational change and performance improvement
• Helping develop and evolve our Enterprise Strategy & Operating Model propositions, methods, tools and intellectual property
• Identifying opportunities to deepen our client relationships and supporting the development of new business
• Managing engagement economics, risk and issue management, and ensuring consistently high-quality delivery

 

This role is for you if:

• You have hands-on experience designing and delivering operating model or broader business transformation programmes, either within consulting or in industry
• You have experience in areas such as enterprise strategy, operating model design and implementation, organisation design, transformation programme delivery, capability development or change
• You can take an ambiguous or complex problem and turn it into a clear, structured approach and understand an organisation’s strategic and operational drivers for change and translate these into practical implications and recommendations
• You are comfortable working across the different dimensions of an operating model, including organisation, governance, capabilities, process, people, data, performance and technology and understand how technology, digital and data can enable new ways of working and create value for organisations
• You are confident engaging with senior stakeholders, facilitating difficult conversations and building alignment around important decisions
• You have experience leading teams and taking ownership for the quality and delivery of client work
• You have external qualifications such as Certified Business Architect (BIZBOK), TOGAF or comparable internal training (preferred but not required)
• You have the ability to travel and work on client site approximately 60% of the time, with the expectation that this could increase to 100% as and when required

 

What you’ll receive from us: 

 

No matter where you may be in your career or personal life, our benefits are designed to add value and support, recognising and rewarding you fairly for your contributions. 

 

We offer a range of benefits including empowered flexibility and a working week split between office, home and client site; private medical cover and 24/7 access to a qualified virtual GP; six volunteering days a year and much more.
