About the Role

Are you seeking a consulting role that makes a real difference? We are proud of our work in National Security and the positive impact on the safety and prosperity of the UK. We are growing rapidly and are looking for experienced business consultants to join our teams.

Consulting in National Security

Our consultants support customers throughout the project lifecycle—from business justification and strategy development to design, planning, and implementation. Building trusted relationships is central: we collaborate closely with clients to understand their objectives and challenges, identify risks and opportunities, and provide strategic, objective advice with innovative solutions for complex challenges.

Familiarity with UK government agencies' organizational landscape is helpful.

If you have process mapping or business change skills and aspire to gain experience in digital transformation and strategy, we will support your career aspirations.

Requirements

Applicants must be eligible to work in the UK and hold an active eDV UK security clearance.
