About the Consultancy
This is an opportunity to join a highly respected, award-winning consultancy delivering transformation across National Security, Defence and Critical National Infrastructure programmes.
The consultancy itself is made up of an agile, experienced and highly diverse team of analysts, strategists and consultants who work alongside clients to solve genuinely complex operational and organisational challenges.
Their clients operate within some of the UKs most secure and sensitive environments and are responsible for delivering nationally important capabilities and services.
Unlike traditional big consultancy models, this organisation operates differently.
Their clients are not paying for slide decks or consultancy theatre they are investing in trusted people who can help them design, deliver and embed meaningful change successfully.
The culture is collaborative, hands-on and delivery-focused:
Getting close to the problem
Working alongside client teams
Helping organisations deliver real operational outcomes
Bringing structure, clarity and momentum to complex programmes
Many of the consultants have themselves experienced the impersonal nature of larger consultancies and deliberately chose a different approach one built around trust, collaboration and delivery.

You will help clients:
