• Deliver end-to-end consulting support across diagnostics, process assessment, future operating model design, service management, transition planning, performance improvement and digitally enabled transformation.
• Review current-state processes, identify opportunities to standardise and simplify work, and help design future operating models for supply chain services within a GBS environment.
• Support implementation planning across service transitions, governance structures, KPI and SLA design, stabilisation and continuous improvement.
• Translate detailed analysis into clear, practical recommendations and executive-ready materials that support decision-making and change execution.
• Build trusted relationships with stakeholders across supply chain, operations and GBS functions.
• Support market development by contributing to proposition evolution, client campaigns and other activities aligned to changing supply chain GBS priorities.
• Contribute to bids, proposals and RFP/RFI responses, and help drive account growth through strong content, insight and delivery credibility.
• Create reusable methods, tools, viewpoints and delivery assets that strengthen the consulting offer.
• Play an active role in the Intelligent Industry practice and help maintain a collaborative, delivery-focused team culture.
• Work with account and programme leadership to manage risks, resolve issues and keep delivery aligned with client expectations.
• Support the development of junior colleagues and help build capability across client and consulting teams.
• Contribute to internal practice development through campaign work, think-tanks, whitepapers, recruitment, team events and broader offer development.
• Take part in learning and development activity, including training and capability-building initiatives that support career growth and in-demand skills.

What the role is looking for

• Substantial consulting and/or transformation delivery experience in supply chain, GBS, shared services or operating model redesign.
• Evidence of working effectively in a matrixed organisation and collaborating across disciplines to deliver strong results.
• Experience supporting proposition development, account growth and sales activity in a consulting or transformation setting.
• Ability to generate around £1 million in consulting revenue by using existing relationships, wider company relationships and your own network.
• A proven record of leading supply chain GBS workstreams or programmes with a focus on business-led transformation and operational improvement.
• Practical supply chain knowledge across areas such as planning support, order management, logistics support, inventory, master data or performance reporting.
• Strong understanding of service governance, process standardisation, KPI and SLA design, transition delivery and continuous improvement.
• Experience coaching junior colleagues and helping develop capability in client and consulting teams.
• Confidence working in a collaborative, fast-moving environment and engaging effectively with senior client stakeholders.
• The role is for an experienced professional rather than an entry-level candidate.
