Huron is a global consultancy that collaborates with clients to drive strategic growth, ignite innovation and navigate constant change. Through a combination of strategy, expertise and creativity, we help clients accelerate operational, digital and cultural transformation, enabling the change they need to own their future.

Huron is seeking an experienced and inspirational leader to take on the pivotal role of Team Lead for our new Belfast-based Delivery Center. This is a unique opportunity to build, mentor, and manage a highly skilled project team of consultants who form the operational heart of our European practice. You will be a driving force behind project delivery from Belfast, helping to establish a centre of excellence for our most critical cloud transformation projects.

This role is designed for a seasoned consulting professional who excels at leading teams, managing complex projects, and ensuring delivery excellence. You will be a key team lead in our accelerated growth in Europe, shaping a culture that champions collaboration, quality, and continuous improvement. We provide the autonomy to lead, and the resources of a global firm, empowering you to build a best-in-class project team.

Your Role: As the Belfast Team Lead, you will be responsible for the successful delivery of Digital client projects staffed from the centre. Your focus will be on team management, operational excellence, and ensuring the highest levels of client satisfaction.

• Team Leadership & Mentorship: You will directly manage the Belfast-based team of EPM and ERP consultants. This includes overseeing their performance, managing workloads and utilization, providing regular coaching and feedback, and actively guiding their career development and progression within Huron.
• Delivery Excellence & Quality Assurance: Your role is to implement and oversee quality assurance processes, act as a key escalation point for project issues, and ensure that all projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to Huron's exacting quality standards.
• Operational Management: You will manage day-to-day project operations, including resource planning, project staffing in collaboration with European practice leaders, and tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) for the team. You will be responsible for reporting on team performance to senior leadership.
• Stakeholder Collaboration: You will build and maintain strong relationships with Project Managers and Practice Leaders across Europe. You will act as the primary liaison for the team in Belfast, ensuring seamless integration and communication between the Belfast team and the wider European practice.

The Profile We're Looking For: An Experienced and Motivational Leader. We are looking for a seasoned leader with a proven track record in both delivery and team management.

• Experience: You have 8+ years of hands-on project experience in consulting and implementing EPM or ERP cloud solutions, with at least 3 years in a formal team leadership or management role in a functional setting.
• Essential Background: A background in a Big 4, Accenture, or another top-tier consulting firm is highly preferred. Your experience should demonstrate that you are an expert in structured delivery methodologies and have a deep understanding of managing large, complex clients.
• Technical Expertise: While not necessarily a hands-on implementer, you possess a broad and deep understanding of the EPM and ERP cloud landscape, including leading platforms such as Oracle EPM/ERP, OneStream, Workday, or SAP. This knowledge is crucial for effective project oversight and quality assurance.
• Business Analysis Skills: You will be skilled in core Business Analyst skills, including business requirement gathering, system configurations, data modelling, and process mapping.
• Proven Leadership Skills: You are an exceptional leader with demonstrable experience in managing, mentoring, and motivating consulting teams. You excel at performance management, conflict resolution, and fostering a positive, high-performance culture.
• Remote Management Experience: You have prior experience and a proven ability to successfully manage and lead hybrid or distributed teams, understanding the unique challenges and success factors of this model.
• Client-Facing & Communication Skills: You possess outstanding communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to interact confidently with everyone from junior consultants to senior leadership and clients.
• Onsite Engagement: The role is primarily based in Belfast, although you may travel to client sites across Europe periodically for critical, high-impact project milestones. This includes strategic kick-off meetings to build rapport, intensive design workshops for complex problem-solving, and crucial on-site support during the go-live phase.
• Languages: Fluency in English is essential. Professional proficiency in another European language is a significant advantage.
