Senior Manager - Operations Management Consulting

Allow us to introduce ourselves. At dss+, we are not just your average global operations consulting firm. We are a Purpose-driven company that exists to save lives and create a sustainable future – for our clients, employees and communities. In pursuit of this Purpose, we put people at the centre of everything we do, and we are a consultancy with heart.

As an experienced operations consultant, your role is crucial in helping us achieve this Purpose, making you an integral part of our operations. Right now, we’re expanding our market reach and impact in the UK and looking for a senior manager who can help us transform our clients and work as part of high-performing project teams on large, complex transformational work programmes. This expansion presents a unique opportunity for you to grow both personally and professionally as you contribute to our Purpose and work on challenging projects.

As a senior manager you will:

• Work across a range of industries including Chemicals, Manufacturing, Power
• Develop new business and manage existing accounts
• Discover opportunities to make our clients safer, more productive and more sustainable
• Lead teams of experienced consultants and subject matter experts to identify the root causes of client safety and/or operational challenges by analysing a range of metrics and observations, and create, communicate and implement solutions
• Work directly with the client identifying pain points and developing and implementing effective solutions to meet their needs
• Develop your own and your team’s work plans, mobilising the team to deliver effectively
• Work with members of your team to build their capabilities and deliver better value to the client
• Manage project delivery to ensure projects deliver the intended benefits

This role is home-based in the UK but will require frequent client travel, potentially up to 4 days per week. We have a strong growth trajectory and a global footprint, which means unprecedented opportunity for the people on our teams to advance their careers through working with clients and joining forces with technical operations executives, experienced line managers and qualified coaches who all share a problem-solving mindset and a passion for what they do.

We offer a mentorship program with internal and external senior leaders to broaden technical expertise and share best practices. Our performance process and talent systems support individuals on their personal and professional development journey, and you will have access to the Consulting Development Academy. In addition to our career development benefits, we offer a competitive base salary, medical cover, disability benefits, allowances, a discretionary yearly incentive plan, and flexible work policies. As a Global Company, our professionals have the possibility to contribute to international projects and grow with the company. Every employee can influence and impact our company, and we value innovators and entrepreneurs.

Who are you today? Beyond that, be yourself. At dss+, we embrace and celebrate diversity. Above all, we are an inclusive culture in which everyone contributes and has the chance to develop their talents further. Ideally, you will hold a degree/master’s degree in engineering or a business-related field, coupled with experience in management consulting with previous exposure to safety, operational risk management and/or operational excellence. You will demonstrate deep knowledge of an industry e.g. manufacturing, chemicals, power.
