Job description

We are a dynamic consulting firm, focused on delivering sustainable change. We help our clients succeed in their long‑term goals by turning strategy into action through exceptional delivery and a commitment to building a culture of change. As a transformation consultancy, we work with clients to shape the way they operate, deliver services and manage their people - helping them adapt to disruption and thrive in a changing world.

We pride ourselves on being proactive, collaborative and straightforward team players. We move fast as a team, and honesty and integrity are key to how we work. You'll be part of a supportive and high‑performing team that shares the load, looks after each other and celebrates success together. You can expect an exciting and varied career that will stretch and develop you, with opportunities to help organisations respond to change and deliver lasting impact.

We don’t do politics, egos or personal agendas, it consumes too much time and distracts us from being successful together.

Moorhouse is currently unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role. Unfortunately, this means we are not able to progress applications from candidates who would require sponsorship now or in the future.

At Moorhouse, our Operating Model team plays a central role in this. We support clients to design and implement future‑fit organisations - aligning their structures, capabilities, governance, and ways of working to strategic ambition. Whether it's enterprise-wide design, function‑level optimisation or future capability definition, we bring a pragmatic and insight‑led approach to help clients move from ambition to action.

You will bring:

• 4-6 years' consulting experience, or equivalent experience in industry, with a strong track record of delivering operating model, organisation design or broader strategic transformation work
• A strong understanding of operating model, business architecture and/or business design methodologies
• Strong delivery capability, with experience independently leading workstreams and taking ownership of substantial deliverables from problem definition through to final output
• Strong problem solving and analytical skills, with the ability to use qualitative and quantitative insight to identify root causes, shape practical recommendations and support robust decision‑making
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, including building trust quickly, engaging and influencing senior stakeholders, and leading discussions through clear, compelling outputs
• A collaborative approach, with experience guiding more junior colleagues and working across mixed client and consulting teams to deliver high‑quality outcomes
• Commercial awareness and experience contributing to business development, for example through proposal development, bid writing, identifying opportunities, or helping shape client conversations
• A strong sense of ownership beyond client delivery, with experience contributing to internal initiatives, proposition development, knowledge building or improvements to ways of working

We're open to candidates with cross‑sector experience who bring curiosity, sound judgement and the ability to adapt quickly to new client contexts.
