Whatever we do, wherever we are in the world, we lead the way, serve with integrity, take care of each other, fostering inclusion, and collaborate for measurable impact. These five shared values lead every decision we make and action we take, guiding us to deliver impact how and where it matters most.

Connect to your opportunity

Are you passionate about leading business transformation for high profile and complex capital programmes?

The world has never before faced such a complex number of environmental, social and economic challenges and a new way of delivering major programmes is needed to respond to these. This market leading transformation approach will challenge conventional thinking around the delivery of major programmes, using a multi-disciplinary capability to help our clients deliver their most critical and demanding issues while reinforcing Deloitte’s commitment to purpose-led change.

Our practice comprises a blend of those who have worked previously in industry (in both technical and non-technical roles) and those who have prior consulting experience. The strength and value Major Programmes bring to our clients and Deloitte is a result of our collectively diverse and highly relevant industry insights and experience; the complexity of challenges our clients face requires us to leverage this diverse range of skillsets and experiences.

You will have the opportunity to work across a range of programmes, building your skills and experience on the job, as well as supported by our world class professional development approach. You will also experience the breadth of what Deloitte offers, working with colleagues across a range of disciplines and drawing on our market leading methods, and our global assets and tools.

Major Programmes Communities

Within Major programmes, you'll be part of the Capital Programmes team, working with organisations across sectors delivering large, complex digital and workplace transformation programmes.

Through our experience of delivering complex programmes, we understand that the complexity of challenges our clients face requires us to leverage a diverse range of skillsets and experiences to be able to effectively partner and support our clients. This is evident in the projects we undertake and client challenges we look to solve that see us making use of the breadth and depth of expertise within Deloitte.

Our connections and network enable us to deliver the right outcome for our clients, while bringing new approaches and perspectives to our team’s capabilities and offerings. You will have access to a recognised development programme for each grade and a number of market leading frameworks that have been successfully implemented on high profile projects by our team whilst having a positive social impact at the heart of what we do. We are looking for people who share these values, as well as a passion for positive change.

Your role will allow you to:

• Assist with the design, development and transformation of major programmes, including programme strategy and set up, programme / portfolio delivery, capability and digital transformation, and assurance reviews.
• Contribute to client projects including development of engagement plans, production of deliverables, change management activities, and workshop/meeting facilitation across a wide range of propositions, including:
  • Operating Model design and implementation
  • Project Controls Transformation
  • Programme Governance
  • Project Management Office setup and maintenance
  • Capability Development
  • Digital Transformation
• Support progress reporting, risk management and financial controls in relation to the programme or workstream.
• Support the growth of client relationships, identifying new opportunities within both existing and new clients, and supporting proposals to win work.
• Support the development of our propositions, solutions and methods, and industry points of view.

Personal independence

Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints (e.g., in relation to any financial interests and employment relationships). This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm). The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress through the recruitment process or you can contact the Independence team upon request.

Connect with your colleagues
