Overview

Our Sourcing, IT Strategy, and Corporate Services capability is growing. We help our clients to solve complex IT and sourcing challenges, providing solutions to drive innovation and build efficient organisations. We design integrated and forward-thinking approaches to build the tech strategies and organisations which are needed today – and for tomorrow.

As an IT Transformation and Sourcing Consultant, you will have the opportunity to help our clients solve the most complex and challenging issues affecting business and government by:

• Designing sourcing strategies which balance the appropriate mix of internal and external IT and Business Process services, so that organisations benefit from fit-for-the-future services and capabilities.
• Shaping and delivering sourcing solutions, business cases and contracts which deliver sustainable benefits, including engaging leading market suppliers.
• Shaping and delivering global operating and delivery models that enable the exploitation of modern, digital ways of working.
• Leading complex transition programmes and workstreams to transform IT and business services, to make the change happen by building new organisations, cultures, supplier relationships and transitioning services to new delivery models.

Hybrid working - our approach is to be in the office or on client site a minimum of 2 days per week. However, the actual time you spend and where you spend it will vary by role or assignment, including up to 5 days per week on a client site.

Qualifications

• Proven experience in Sourcing and Transformation within an IT/digital setting.
• Preference for previous consultancy experience.
• Demonstrable experience of contributing to major bid and proposal development (consulting bid or supplier/service bid – either way desirable but not essential).
• Broad knowledge of the technology services marketplace and exposure to outsourcing application, infrastructure and workplace services (including cloud, SaaS, AI solutions).
• Ability to define business and IT services, requirements and SLAs.
• Experience across the outsourcing lifecycle (strategy, delivery, transition, service optimisation and remediation), including business cases, cost and commercial models.
• Experience working on the shaping of effective procurement strategies and robust commercial solutions.
• Expertise in technology delivery disciplines (e.g. IT strategy, IT service management, agile delivery, IT project management).
• At senior grades Consulting experience is essential.

We know the skill-gap and ‘somewhat need to tick every box’ can get in the way of meeting brilliant candidates, so please don’t hesitate to apply – we’d love to hear from you.

Apply

Apply today by completing our online application. Please be aware that some of our UK roles at PA Consulting require a UK security clearance.

All PA people are required to undergo background checks and to achieve the Baseline Personnel Security Standard however, some UK roles also require higher levels of National Security Vetting, where applicants must have at least 5 years of continuous residency in the UK. We therefore ask that you only apply if you meet the residency requirements (i.e. you are a British citizen or have been resident in the UK for the past 5 years), as this is the prerequisite for a security clearance. If you’re unsure about your eligibility, review the UK Government’s guidance on security vetting before applying.
