Overview

Why Moorhouse?

We are a dynamic consulting firm, focused on delivering sustainable change. We make sure our clients succeed in their long-term goals by helping them turn their strategy into action through exceptional delivery and establishing a culture of change.

We deliver real impact through our projects and our clients like who we are and how we work.

We pride ourselves in being proactive, collaborative and straightforward team players, with focus on being successful together. We move fast as a team, and honesty and integrity are key to this. You will be part of a supportive and high-performing team that looks after each other, has fun and celebrates success together. You can be assured of exciting opportunities on varied projects that will stretch you and equip you with skills, experience and knowledge to help organisations respond to turbulence and improve.As part of this, you’ll also contribute to a culture of sustainability and embrace Moorhouse’s social responsibility by integrating responsible practices and upholding ethical standards and awareness in everyday work.

What we are looking for:

Potential is what excites us so we are keen to hear from people who want to harness their experience within an organisation that will invest in their professional development from day one. This isn’t just about technical skills, it’s about mindset: adaptability, resilience and leadership to name just a few. It is important that you can contribute to business development as well as lead delivery teams. In addition, we will expect you to motivate and develop junior members of the Moorhouse team and play an active role in supporting the career development of a small group of colleagues.

Responsibilities

Delivery:

• Managers are the day-to-day leads on a client project. Of course, you’ll be expected to manage all aspects of delivery like the usual project management activities (budget, timeline, quality and risks). But most importantly, since we do not deliver cookie-cutter projects, the Manager will be responsible for designing a tailor-made approach to each client challenge. This includes defining and tailoring the right tools, frameworks and workshops which will lead to a meaningful and pragmatic strategy for the client.

Business Development:

• Our business is ambitious so we need to be constantly looking to how we can grow. Managers will be expected to lead activities like proposal development by scoping out the right response to a prospective client’s challenge. This will include defining the right approach as well as pricing the cost and estimating the timelines of the project.

Culture and Leadership:

• We pride ourselves on our work hard, play hard culture. This is brought to life by every person in the business. Some of these will show up through activities like mentoring colleagues, collaborating with sector teams, team building and away days. This will be within the strategy team, the Strategy & Customer department, or at Moorhouse-wide level.

Technical skills:

• A strong track record of strategy development for major organisations either at the corporate or functional level.
• Conducting qualitative and quantitative analysis of organisations, identifying pain points and their root causes.
• Creating practical strategies that clearly link ambition to actionable steps.
• Thinking innovatively about new approaches and services that clients may need, going beyond the framework to create tailored solutions.
• An understanding of business strategy theory and its application.
• An understanding of how to break down complex messages and models in an engaging way which brings people on the journey.

Business acumen:

• A strong sales track record is essential and a network of relevant relationships is preferred.
• Proposal development – developing a client problem brief into a detailed approach ready to pitch.
• Client management – building and nurturing strong relationships based on trust and respect.

Leadership:

• 6 - 8 years consulting experience whether this is from a big consulting firm, boutique consultancy, or experience gained delivering transformational change in industry

• A keen interest in playing a senior role within the Strategy & Customer Service Line team. This will include supporting the development of compelling market propositions.
