Job description

Altum Consulting is partnering with a leading consultancy to recruit a Senior People & Organisation Consultant. With a strong pipeline of work across energy, transport and water, the team is looking for someone who can help clients design operating models and put them into practice.

The work spans organisational reviews, operating model design and delivery. You might assess how a programme is working, define the structure and capabilities a new function needs, or help establish its governance and ways of working. Projects increasingly involve digital services and technology partners, so an interest in how people, processes and technology fit together will be valuable.

What you'll do

• Lead substantial elements of client projects, from diagnosis and evidence gathering through to recommendations and implementation.
• Design operating models, organisational structures, governance and ways of working that support lasting change.
• Run diagnostics and workshops, turning research and data into clear insights for clients.
• Build strong client relationships and work closely with advisory and digital colleagues.
• Contribute to proposals and the development of the team's methods and tools.

What you'll bring

• You'll have a background in consulting or a relevant in-house role, with experience across at least two areas such as operating model design, organisational development, change, culture, leadership or team effectiveness. You'll be comfortable moving between different client challenges and sectors, with the judgement to turn analysis into solutions that can be delivered.
• Infrastructure or capital programme experience would be helpful, particularly in energy, transport or water, but it is not essential.
• Digital fluency is also key. You don't need to be a technology specialist, but you should be confident working alongside digital teams and understanding how technology affects an operating model.
• Above all, the team is looking for someone who inspires confidence, collaborates well and enjoys tackling varied, complex problems. The working pattern is typically three days a week in an office or with clients, including days involving travel.
