You could have delivered programmes within the Home Office, policing, criminal justice, fraud prevention or another closely related government environment.

You will take ownership of complex consulting engagements, working directly with senior stakeholders to understand operational problems, shape solutions and lead work from early discovery through to delivery and implementation.

Key experience:

• Strong management consulting experience within UK Government or public services
• Current NPPV3 clearance
• Direct exposure to the Home Office, policing, law enforcement, crime or fraud-related environments
• Experience leading consulting engagements and taking accountability for successful delivery
• Strong digital transformation experience, with an understanding of how technology enables operational and business change
• Ability to turn complex or unclear problems into practical strategies, roadmaps and delivery plans
• Confidence working with senior stakeholders and navigating public sector governance and approval processes
• Experience contributing to bids, proposals and the development of new consulting opportunities
• Ability to lead small teams and support the development of other consultants

This is an opportunity to take a senior position within a growing consultancy while working on programmes directly connected to crime prevention, public safety and the effectiveness of essential government services.
