Lead transformation. Shape strategy. Deliver work that actually lands. Most consulting roles talk about impact. This one expects you to deliver it — across strategy, people, and performance. At Korn Ferry, we help organisations solve one of their toughest challenges: how to align strategy, talent, and reward to actually drive results. From operating model redesign to leadership strategy, assessment, and total rewards — we bring together the full ecosystem required to make transformation stick.
We’re now looking for a Principal to join our UK Consulting business — a role built for a senior management consultant who thrives on leading complex programmes, influencing senior stakeholders, and delivering measurable outcomes.
The kind of work you’ll lead:
- Leading a multi-country transformation programme, aligning organisational strategy, structure, and leadership capability to a new business model
- Designing and embedding job architectures and career frameworks, unlocking workforce mobility, pay transparency, and talent development
- Partnering with executive teams to rethink leadership, succession, and workforce strategy in response to growth or disruption
- Bringing together assessment, development, and reward solutions to help clients build high-performing, future-ready organisations
- Using data and insight to shape decisions around structure, capability, and performance
Every engagement is different — but the common thread is this: you own delivery, from design through to execution and impact.
What makes this role different:
At Korn Ferry, we don’t operate in silos. Our Principals work across five core solution areas — Organisational Strategy, Assessment & Succession, Talent Acquisition, Leadership Development, and Total Rewards — bringing them together into integrated client solutions. That means you’re not just advising — you’re helping clients build organisations that are:
- Structured to deliver their strategy
- Equipped with the right leadership and talent
- Designed with clear roles, progression, and accountability
- Rewarding performance in a fair, transparent, and competitive way
You’ll move fluidly between strategy, organisation design, leadership, and reward, acting as a true connector across the client system.
