REACH YOUR POTENTIAL | COLLABORATE WITH AMAZING PEOPLE | MAKE CHANGE HAPPEN

Do you have the skills, passion, and commitment to transform our clients for the better? Are you ready to be a changemaker? If so, join us.

North Highland is the world's leading change and transformation consultancy. Simply put, we make change happen like no one else. And we are recruiting at our Manager/Expert Practitioner level.

HOW WILL YOU MAKE CHANGE HAPPEN?

We help our clients grow and become more customer centric and made-for-change businesses by modernising client operations and transforming their workforce? You will work alongside our industry and practice leaders, identifying opportunities and shaping and delivering work to make this happen. You will work across FTSE 100 and the largest public sector clients and be able to bring deep knowledge of the latest workforce / people thinking into business transformation engagements. You will work and lead collaborative teams, bringing together talent and people strategy, operating model, organisational design, and talent / career development to embed results with our clients. You will be comfortable working at an enterprise level, but also confident in bringing leading edge perspectives to senior HR professionals and/or other functional leaders with workforce challenges.

We take pride in making sustainable improvements to the way our clients work and collaborate and are looking for individuals with that same passion to join us.

YOU WILL:

• Provide ownership and leadership of client relationships and multi-disciplinary engagements.
• Coaching and development of junior team members.
• Co-selling with North Highland executives.
• Expansion of existing business.
• Collaboration with your fellow leadership team to drive practice and firm growth.

IDEALLY, WE'D LIKE:

• 5-7 years of previous work experience at a leading consultancy, advisory, and/or top strategy firm.
• A track record of leading successful engagements, including workforce strategy, workforce optimization and enablement, operating model and organizational design, culture, talent management, employee experience and engagement, HR transformation, workforce and business process outsourcing.
• An ability to authentically establish credibility, build consensus, and activate collaboration with clients and teammates.
• Generosity in sharing experiences, expertise, and insights to help others develop and grow.
• Proposal development experience and a proven ability to effectively sell business solutions to clients.
• Experience developing high-performing teams in ways proven to drive desired business impact.
• A proven upward and fast-moving career trajectory.
• Graduate degree (Masters or Doctoral) and/or MBA combined with a bachelor's degree from an accredited college/university. Advanced (post-undergraduate) degrees are valuable but not essential. Greater emphasis will be placed on the quality and relevance of previous work experience from a leading consultancy, advisory, and/or top strategy firm.
