You’ll work on-site helping high-profile clients deliver real-world change such as improving NHS patient outcomes, accelerating supply chains in Chicago, improving process efficiencies in Australia or enabling an energy company to light up the nation.

The role
Upon starting with us, you'll join our induction programme, designed to equip you with all the knowledge and tools you need to thrive. You'll then be immediately empowered, joining one of our project teams and putting your learnings into real-world practice. The first few years look very similar for all consultants and are crucial for building the fundamentals of consulting and the Newton methodology. All our consultants need to possess this core Operations Consultant skillset to thrive regardless of which career pathway you go down while at Newton. On a day-to-day basis, our Operations consultants work hand-in-hand with a variety of clients, mapping processes and analysing data to identify opportunities for operational improvement. They then plan and implement the changes needed to solve those challenges and create long-term improvements. Working on-site, from the shop floor to the boardroom, and everywhere in between. Once they spot the best chances for improvement, they dive right in – creating and implementing project plans that deliver and continue to do so long after we’ve gone. Every mission and every client is different, but our model of work doesn’t change.

At Newton, we recognise that complex challenges demand more than one-dimensional solutions. Our core capabilities in Operations, Digital & AI, and People & Change bring together talented and diverse teams who collaborate to deliver exceptional outcomes and lasting value for our clients.

Digital & AI and People & Change consultants enjoy a strong foundation in our core methodology and demonstrate all the Operations consulting abilities. They then opt to specialise further as they progress in their career.

Digital & AIBright-minded and future-focused, our Digital consultants identify where data and technology can benefit a business. Whether that is using new tech or building our own solutions, Digital consultants bring industry-leading, even industry-changing, solutions to our clients’ challenges.

People & ChangeConsulting isn’t a faceless business. At the heart of everything we do, there are people. That’s where our People & Change consultants come in. They’re experts in making the change we bring to our clients come to life. Whether digital, operational or cultural – they work alongside people within our client organisations to manage change before, during and beyond implementation.
