About the position
Role Overview
This is a mid-level management / transformation consultant role within a consulting start-up environment.
The successful candidate will work directly with client organisations to:
- Understand current operating models and processes
- Design improved future-state ways of working
- Help manage and deliver the change required to get there
This is a hands-on, client-facing consulting role, not a pure strategy, IT delivery, HR, or junior analyst position.
The role best suits a Consultant or Senior Consultant from a professional services or management consulting background (Big 4, Accenture, or boutique consulting firms).
What Problem the Client Is Solving
The Client supports organisations undergoing operational and business transformation, with a strong focus on:
- Legal operations
- Governance and compliance
- Professional services environments
The Client uses technology and AI-enabled tools to modernise inefficient or outdated processes.
Organisations typically engage the Client when they need help with:
- Unclear or inefficient processes
- Poor role clarity and governance
- Legal, compliance, or operational inefficiencies
- Programme and system implementations lacking structure
- End-to-end transformation delivery
Key Responsibilities
- Project & PMO Support
- Build and manage project plans

- Run status updates and governance forums
- Support programme and portfolio delivery
This is consulting-led PMO, not a pure Project Manager role.
- Client Engagement
- Work directly with clients in workshops and meetings
- Ask structured, insightful questions
- Understand and diagnose business problems
- Translate client requirements into:
- PowerPoint decks
- Process maps
- Action plans and recommendations

- Identify inefficiencies, risks, and improvement opportunities
- Support the design of:

Experience using tools such as Visio, Miro, Lucid, or similar is required.
- Consulting Analysis & Problem Solving
- Apply structured, hypothesis-led thinking
- Perform data analysis using Excel
- Conduct diagnostics, benchmarking, and assessments
- Develop clear, actionable recommendations
- PowerPoint & Client Deliverables
This is non-negotiable:
- Produce high-quality, client-ready PowerPoint decks
- Deliver executive-level storytelling and insights
Candidates who are not confident producing and presenting slides are not suitable.
- AI & Productivity Tools
- Use tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, or similar for:
- Research
