Project Transformation Manager (6-months role) specialising in the Transport Logistics and Infrastructure (TLI) sector

This is a fixed-term role of 6-months only to support a fixed duration client project. The suitable candidate is expected to hit the ground running on the client project from day one due to the short-term nature of the role.

In this role you will have the opportunity to work on teams and help the best organizations in the world– solve some of their most difficult problems.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

You will be leading a team of 3 – 5 consultants to help our client achieve new performance highs.

You will lead the day-to-day execution of a client project while guiding and developing individual team members. You’ll work directly with our client – usually on site – and you’ll take ownership of the overall project and its end products. You will make an important contribution to the analysis, design, and implementation of business performance approaches, developing tailor-made solutions and working closely with our client to ensure positive impact and sustainable results.

You will have the opportunity to build on your proven leadership skills and leverage your interest in inspiring others, building strong relationships, and creating a true followership. In a collaborative team setting, you'll work closely with others but also autonomously with little direction. Your superior analytical, quantitative and conceptual thinking skills and strong interpersonal and communication skills will ensure a successful client project and team performance.

Client project work typically includes gathering and analyzing information, formulating and testing hypotheses, and developing recommendations for presentation to client management. From there, you will implement those recommendations with client team members.

You’ll also gain new skills and build on the strengths you bring to the firm. Consultants receive exceptional training as well as frequent coaching and mentoring from colleagues and senior leaders on their teams.
