Job Description

Overview

And when you join us, you'll be a part of this genuinely collaborative environment, where everyone's voice is valued and treated equally.

We're passionate about what we do, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. Simply put, this a great place to be. So, when it comes to your life outside of work, ask us about our flexible and remote working policies designed to help you get the most out of life.

The two roles we are seeking to fill sit within the Business Transformation team in our Transportation business, which has an excellent record of delivery for a wide range of clients including some of the largest public and private sector organisations in the UK, particularly in rail, highways, and local transport markets. We create a culture and environment to inspire, ensure collaboration with our clients and continue to shape the future of mobility.

The UK transport sector is delivering some large and ambitious changes. In the current climate, maximising effectiveness in delivering against long‑term funding commitments from Government is critical to support our economic growth. Our clients face key challenges in defining and delivering their long‑term programmes, maximising the value of assets, and embracing new technologies so that they can deliver the best outcomes for users and for the economy.

These challenges are driving the need for change in the way our clients do business enabling them to deliver their investments and meet their strategic priorities.

Your role

Our Business Transformation team is supporting leaders to think differently by re‑aligning their strategic priorities, providing support to re‑organise their businesses and develop processes to support new operations. We help uncover and then overcome cultural and organisational challenges which are hindering success.

We do this by:

• Putting people at the heart of all we do and taking time to understand what really matters, respecting knowledge and complementing it with our own.

• Committing to valuing, inspiring, and empowering everyone to be successful‑ensuring organisations, projects and programmes have the best chance to deliver on their commitments.

• We believe that both our own and our clients organisations, projects and programmes thrive because of people, their culture and strength of relationships.

• We are looking to recruit talented individuals who are passionate about leading excellence in transformation and complex business change.

• Like our team, these individuals will take pride in delivering an authentic and hands‑on‑approach to understand our clients' business challenges and help achieve their ambitions.

• The roles we hope to fill will enhance our existing business consulting expertise. We are seeking two qualified and experience change management specialists. Both will have strong stakeholder engagement skills and experience in implementing and managing successful change programmes.

• The roles require candidates to be located in Manchester. Whilst candidates will have Manchester as their local ‘home’ office, the roles have a UK wide remit requiring travel as required. Overseas work is an option by agreement.

In particular we are seeking individuals with:

• A background in change management with proven ability to leverage expertise to drive impactful transformational change programmes. This could be in a consulting context or through delivering successful change programmes within organisations.

• Qualified Prosci practitioners with experience in Leading initiatives that foster collaboration, employee engagement, and professional growth.

• Excellent communication and engagement skills.

You will need to

• Hold at least a degree or equivalent.
