The Opportunity

We are seeking a Principal Consultant to join our well-established Advisory Services function, to guide our team of consultants in the development and delivery of end-to-end transformational programmes for our clients. You will do this by applying in-depth knowledge and specialist skills in leading and managing the delivery of a range of client projects across any of the following technical areas: team effectiveness & collaboration, leadership & capability, culture & organisational change, operating model & organisation development. We are flexible on which office you choose to work from. This could either be Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield or Leeds working in a hybrid model.

In this role you will provide strategic direction to the team by understanding and making clear connections with other workstreams within the project team, often leading complex teams by providing technical and people management support. You will lead project planning by outlining project activities and resources required, while liaising with stakeholders to facilitate the delivery of project outcomes. This also requires some contribution to project economics to ensure projects commercially deliver against Arup's business plan. You will also get the opportunity to contribute to business development, including identifying opportunities in existing client relationships, developing winning proposals and pitches.

Is this role right for you?

To make a positive impact in this role, we are looking for an individual who can apply their knowledge of organisation change theories and practices to make recommendations to client changes. You will have a background in reviewing, analysing and reporting on clients' organisational behaviours and culture landscape, drawing on relevant theories and evidence-based practice to lead the design and delivery of organisational diagnostics workshops.

Requirements:

• BSc in occupational psychology, organisation behaviour, organisational design or similar.
• Experience in two or more of our technical areas (team effectiveness & collaboration, leadership & capability, culture & organisational change, operating model & organisation development).
• Project management and delivery skills including financial and risk management.
• Capability in developing business proposals for clients, understanding their requirements and drawing together expertise from across a multi-disciplinary firm.
