Senior Consultant

The business

We’re an AI-native, human-led business built to help clients reimagine, reinvent, and lead their markets into the AI era.  We bring the imagination, intellect and market insight, execution smarts, and adaptive approach to collaboration required to help leaders deliver real change.

We work with clients in four closely interdependent markets: central Government, including departments, agencies, and strategic, commercial suppliers; health and care, including national bodies, trusts, place-based partners, and commercial and digital suppliers; education, including national bodies, awarding organisations, and front-line institutions; and, the FTSE - principally leveraging our expertise in AI and associated capability building.

Through A WORKS we collaborate with thought leaders, innovators, and AI-specialist developers to build products and solutions which tackle the biggest problems we see in the markets we support – setting aside the consulting commercial model to work in whatever ways best solve the problem.

For example, through Project Shybird, we recently launched a suite of tools which innovate the education value chain to bring deeply researched, high-quality qualifications and learning programmes to market at pace; create and support deeply personalised learning experiences; and close the loop with deep insight.

We are a business powered by the passion, grit, insight, intellect, and execution-smarts of our people: a tightly knit team of market experts, willing to challenge market convention, and our colleagues, in pursuit of the transformational change we believe is possible through the dawn of the AI era.

Role specification

We’re looking for colleagues who share our values and our high expectations of everything we do.  We’d love to hear from colleagues with expertise in strategy, policy, project management and delivery in central Government directly or those who supply significant services to Government.

Expertise in education, healthcare, or digital would be welcome – though we’re also keen to hear from colleagues who aren’t experts in those sectors, but who do have experience working in / around public policy and service delivery in any other.

At senior consultant level, you’ll likely have five or more years’ experience at management level.  You’ll be expected to set the agenda and maintain our high standards, owning substantial work streams / work packages in large client engagements – or leading smaller engagements yourself.  You’ll be supported to play a meaningful role in business development to contribute to our firm’s overall growth ambitions.
