Head of Delivery (Consulting)

Head of Delivery (Consulting)North West (Hybrid)c£95k + Bonus + Benefits

Some Consulting leaders are brilliant at talking about delivery. Others are the reason it actually happens.

We're working with a growing transformation consultancy that's looking for a Head of Delivery to become a key part of its leadership team. This is a business-critical hire and one of their highest priorities as they continue to grow. It's a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys leading complex client programmes, supporting consulting teams and helping build a business that's growing quickly.

You'll work with some of the UK's largest organisations, helping them deliver complex business and technology transformation. Whether it's shaping operating models, standing up transformation offices, delivering digital change or leading enterprise-wide transformation programmes, you'll be at the heart of work that has a genuine impact. If you're happiest bringing structure to complexity, solving problems and getting stuck in when it matters, this could be exactly what you're looking for.

The Role

You'll work closely with senior leadership, taking ownership of delivery across a portfolio of Consulting engagements while helping shape how the business operates behind the scenes.

This isn't a role where you'll sit on the sidelines reviewing status reports.

You'll be leading major client programmes, coaching teams, improving delivery processes and helping the Consultancy continue to scale. Some days you'll be working with senior client stakeholders, others you'll be refining internal ways of working or supporting wider business initiatives. No two weeks will look the same, and that's exactly what makes the role interesting.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading complex business and technology transformation programmes for enterprise clients.
• Mobilising consulting teams and ensuring new engagements are set up for success.
• Supporting and coaching consultants across multiple client accounts.
• Building trusted relationships with senior client stakeholders.
• Improving delivery capability, governance and internal ways of working.
• Working closely with senior leadership to help the business scale.
• Supporting wider business initiatives, from operational improvements to strategic planning.
• Taking ownership, solving problems and making sure things get done.

About You

You'll probably already be working as a Head of Delivery, Delivery Director, Principal Consultant, Programme Director, Engagement Director or Senior Transformation Consultant within a consulting environment.

You'll also have:

• A strong track record delivering business or technology transformation.
• Experience leading large consulting engagements and multidisciplinary teams.
• The confidence to build relationships with senior client stakeholders and challenge where appropriate.
• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple moving parts.
• A practical, hands-on approach. You're just as happy getting into the detail as you are setting direction.
• The resilience to thrive in a fast-paced Consultancy where priorities can change quickly.

Why Join?

Our client has built a fantastic reputation for helping some of the UK's best-known organisations deliver complex transformation programmes that make a real difference.

They're large enough to work on high-profile, enterprise-scale engagements, but still small enough for individuals to have real influence. You'll work directly with experienced leaders, have the autonomy to make decisions and play a genuine part in shaping the future of the business.

If you're looking for a role where you can lead from the front, influence how a consultancy grows and work on transformation programmes that genuinely matter, you'll feel right at home here.

This is a priority hire, and we're keen to speak with experienced consulting leaders who are looking for their next challenge. Apply now for a confidential conversation.
