Strategy Consultant

We’ve become the UK’s market leader in social value measurement and reporting, and now we’re scaling globally. Our platform equips organisations across the public, private, and voluntary sectors with intuitive, collaborative tools to measure and maximise social value. At the heart of our work is the evidence‑based Social Value TOM System, a gold standard framework that sets us apart. But we’re more than just technology; we also offer a consultancy division giving our clients the knowledge, insights, and tools to embed social value at every level.

We’re looking for a Consultant or Senior Consultant who enjoys solving complex Social Value challenges and helping organisations turn them into lasting change. This role is about helping clients embed Social Value into their operating models, so it genuinely supports strategic goals rather than sitting on the sidelines as a bolt‑on. You’ll help clients of all sizes and industries move beyond surface‑level activity and into real change – combining strategy development, change management, and transformation, all through a social impact lens.

We’re keen to hear from applicants with experience in strategy and transformation who are:

• Relentlessly curious - constantly in a state of wondering; why, how, who? Always seeking to identify the root issues that block progress.
• Attentive to customers - able to empathise and listen carefully to needs.
• Willing to embrace the unknown - capable of turning your hand easily from task to task and project to project.
• Imaginative - create alternatives or innovations that may be useful in solving change‑related problems. Especially simple ideas that cut through noise.
• Professional - you set your own high standards and demonstrate that you care about every aspect of the job.

What We Need:

• Advising our clients across private, public and third sectors on strategically incorporating Social Value creation across their organisations.
• Co‑creating simple but effective Social Value strategies with our client and member base – increasingly for larger, multi‑territory, more complex organisations.
• Engaging with clients to understand their needs; what’s getting in the way of their progress and what they can do about it.
• Working with customers on bid‑related programmes such as training, social impact initiative ideation and peer reviewing drafted responses.
• Facilitating client workshops and conducting a range of stakeholder collaboration exercises.
• Writing presentations, content and guidance that engages.
• Supporting business development opportunities alongside the Sales team.

What You Will Bring:

• A strong track record of consultancy/advisory experience.
• Experience working directly with a range of external stakeholders and building long‑term relationships.
• Strong communication skills, verbal and written, with confidence to deliver presentations and facilitate workshops but also write comprehensive and high‑quality content.
• Solid understanding of change management and transformation programmes, especially those involving co‑design with customers.
• Strong project management skills.
• Ability to build relationships with senior influencers within large, complex organisations.
• Ability to work through tasks independently, proactively and meticulously.
• Good analytical skills, including data literacy.
• A passion for societal progress and improvement, including understanding of the key issues and challenges that society faces e.g. health inequalities, social mobility, climate change.

Desirable:

• Experience supporting organisations bidding into the public sector, with the confidence to support clients to shape Social Value bid strategies and develop compelling content that strengthens the overall bid.
• Knowledge of the TOM System framework or other Social Value measurement frameworks.
• Understanding of social impact evaluation methodologies and experience of delivering assessments.

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary of £40-60k basic (we are recruiting for two levels of consultant, salary will be aligned to the appropriate role level / experience).
• Consultant: £40,000–£52,000.
• Senior Consultant: £52,000–£60,000.
