Associates
Background
Moorhouse is a fast-growing, award winning consultancy, that helps organisations design and deliver successful transformation for themselves and their clients. We believe that a small number of our consultants working within our client's team guarantees the best result. To ensure that our consultants hit the ground running, we recruit only the best consultants with a proven track record of client delivery success and experience in structured programme and project management (PPM). This way, we can ensure that we can achieve anything together.
Our consultants ensure our clients effectively deliver their strategy by working with them to clarify and simplify direction, enhancing their organisation's capability and providing hands-on delivery. We make the complex simple.
We don't just deal in theories, but in the practicalities of effecting complex transformation. By getting to know our clients and understand their business, we can ensure that our solutions are grounded in our clients' realities and culture.
We help clients by:
- Turning strategy into action;
- Providing out of the ordinary delivery;
- Embedding best practice PPM culture
About the role
Our associates are all able to hit the ground running and deliver successfully. They not only have a deep understanding of PPM, but can work alongside senior clients, cope with complex multi-tasking and lead teams, both client-side and internally.
We work with associates at all 'grades' from 4 years relevant PPM/Consulting experience upwards.
The roles are client-facing, large, complex delivery engagements working alongside our staff consultants.
Typical assignments might include Outsourcing, Mergers and acquisitions, implementing new Operating models, ICT consolidation, Regulatory reform, Product development.
What we are looking for
All our associates have at least three years consulting experience with a 'big name firm'.
Additional relevant experience – in Programme Management and Consulting will then determine your “grade” and, more importantly your daily rate. At the more senior grades we are looking for an evidenced track record in managing and directing large programmes and teams, and developing and managing client accounts.
We also expect you to have some relevant qualifications and accreditations eg PRINCE2, MSP, APM membership etc. Security Clearance and a current CRB can also be helpful – but we can support you in getting these if they are necessary for an engagement.
The key skills we look for in our consultants are leadership, problem solving ability, planning and organising, and communication and presentation. We also look for people who are decision makers and innovators.
We are particularly looking for credible experience in Financial Services, Health/Pharmaceuticals, TMT, Transport and Central Government.
Our culture is very important to us and so it is essential that we find consultants who are the right 'fit'. We take our work seriously, but never ourselves, and so a sense of humour is vital, as is being a team player. We also value integrity, accountability and honesty and look for people who embody these values. Our consultants are known for their high levels of achievement and drive, as well as their passion and flexibility – if this sounds like you, then we want to hear from you.
Some information about the package
Our associates operate on a daily rate which is determined for each engagement. This will depend on the relevance of your experience for the specific role – and the client's budget. Our associate day rates are typically in the range £500 - £800 but we have worked outside this range when appropriate.
