Job description

People Transformation Lead – Consulting (Senior HR Business Partner)

Location: Birmingham or Manchester

Permanent, Full Time

We are partnering with a global professional services firm as it enters a pivotal stage of growth and transformation within its Consulting business.

With an ambitious long-term strategy and a rapidly evolving workforce, the organisation is reshaping its operating model, capabilities and ways of working. To support this next phase, a new role has been created within the People function: People Transformation Lead – Consulting.

This is not a traditional HR Business Partner role.

It is a delivery-led, project-driven position focused on turning people strategy into tangible outcomes, driving large-scale workforce and organisational transformation in close partnership with senior Consulting leaders.

The Role

You will take ownership of delivering key people and workforce initiatives that underpin Consulting’s strategic ambitions.

Acting as the engine behind transformation, you will bring structure, pace and accountability to complex programmes, ensuring ideas translate into real, measurable change.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end delivery of workforce and people transformation initiatives
• Translate strategic priorities into clear, executable plans
• Act as a programme lead across multiple, cross-functional people projects
• Ensure prioritisation, governance and delivery discipline across initiatives
• Manage risks, dependencies and delivery challenges proactively
• Provide clear, insight-led updates to senior stakeholders

What We’re Looking For

• Strong project or programme management capability
• Experience working within a consulting or professional services environment
• Ability to translate strategy into practical delivery
• Strong commercial awareness, linking people decisions to business outcomes
• Confidence influencing and aligning senior stakeholders
• A delivery mindset, focused on execution and outcomes
• CIPD Level 7 (or equivalent) is required; Chartered status is desirable

Why This Role Stands Out

This role exists to provide execution power, not another layer of conversation.

You will play a central role in enabling Consulting’s strategy by ensuring people transformation is delivered at pace, with clarity and impact.

Interested?

If you thrive in complex, fast-paced environments and want to play a hands‑on role in delivering meaningful transformation within a global professional services context, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply today and become a key player in our client’s transformative journey.
