Are you tired of joining a consultancy that already has all the answers? Frustrated by rigid processes you had no hand in building? Ready to actually shape the way delivery works - rather than just follow it?
We’re working with a number of leading management consultancies expanding their national security practices in Manchester. These are not typical consulting roles - they offer genuine autonomy, real client influence, and the opportunity to work on some of the UK's most complex and high-impact programmes.

You’ll work embedded within national security and public sector programmes, supporting clients through complex business change - from strategy and discovery through to delivery. The work varies by project, but all roles sit within collaborative, high-performing teams where your contribution is visible and valued.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Supporting clients through complex transformation and change programmes
- Owning workstreams end-to-end, from discovery and analysis through to implementation
- Building strong relationships with senior client stakeholders
- Contributing to the growth and direction of expanding Manchester-based practices
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience in business change, transformation, or management consulting
- Exposure to national security, central government, or regulated environments
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
- Someone who thrives with autonomy and takes ownership of their work
- Eligibility for UK security clearance - DV minimum
Why These Roles?
These businesses invest heavily in their people. Expect structured progression, market-leading benefits packages, and the backing of established consultancies with serious reputations in the sector. Manchester is a growing hub for national security work - joining now puts you at the front of that wave.
