Principal Consultant - Change Management

Gate One is a digital and business transformation consultancy that is taking on the traditional approaches to transformational change consulting with entrepreneurialism, grit and humility. We care about meaningful and sustainable change: working shoulder-to-shoulder with our clients to transform the lives of their customers and their broader communities. We are a challenger consulting brand, competing with the large, well-known consulting models to offer our clients and our team a different way of working.

Gate One was established in the UK in 2013 and in recent years have set up small but growing teams in New York, Dublin, Paris and Bangalore. We joined the Havas Group in 2019. Havas is one of the world’s largest digital, creative and entertainment networks. Together, Havas agencies can provide greater value and services to clients while delivering meaningful, societal impact.

We now have an opportunity for an experienced management consultant with deep change management and transformation experience to join our team in London at Principal grade.

In this role you will be responsible for:

• Leading large/complex client projects and engagements
• Applying deep business transformation and change management expertise, building trust with clients and navigating complexities
• Building senior client relationships, acting as a trusted advisor for the account
• Quality assuring engagement deliverables and supporting more junior team members to deliver against client requirements
• Proactively generating BD meetings and shaping new opportunities within new and existing clients as the pursuit lead
• Leading complex bids, proposals and senior BD meetings as well as account management plans
• Leading knowledge sharing and knowledge management activities
• Demonstrating strong people management capabilities as a PDL or mentor, supporting the professional development of others and providing coaching for the development of more junior colleagues

You will have gained significant consulting experience working in a recognised management consultancy business and are most likely already operating at Principal/Senior Manager grade. In addition you will be able to demonstrate:

• A proven ability to lead large, complex transformation projects, especially those involving organisational change. Deep expertise in change management is essential
• Experience of playing a major role in key client account development, generating and converting new opportunities
• Experience in coaching, mentoring and performance management of more junior colleagues
• Strong client relationship skills, with the ability to take the day-to-day lead on managing engagements and growing accounts
• Exceptional communication skills (verbal, written and listening)
• Desire to be a visible leader in Gate One, connected to growth priorities and the business plan

Gate One is committed to an inclusive hiring process. All applications will be given fair consideration regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, disability, age, faith, or social background. We welcome individuals from all educational backgrounds to apply. We encourage applications from underrepresented and minority groups and can provide reasonable adjustments where needed to ensure a fair and accessible process.
