Bridge strategy and delivery by leading, guiding, and getting the best out of your project team.
Description
As a Senior Consultant, you'll sit at the heart of your project team, bridging the Project Manager and consultants by translating strategy into action. You'll delegate tasks, review work for quality and accuracy, guide consultants through challenges, and step up when the Project Manager needs cover. Attendance at weekly training sessions is expected, and your presence sets the standard for the team. Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills are essential. Prior consultancy experience or positions of responsibility are an advantage, though not a requirement. What matters most is the drive to lead and deliver.
Responsibilities
- Work between 6 to 10 hours per week.
- Support the Project Manager in setting strategy and ensuring all project deadlines are met.
- Delegate tasks effectively, while also contributing to primary and secondary research and other necessary tasks to build client recommendations.
- Review consultants’ work to ensure accuracy and quality.
- Schedule, organise and (where appropriate) chair team meetings.
- Lead the creation and delivery of deliverables (Statement of Work, Final Presentation and any other deliverables).
- Attend weekly mentor calls and ensure consultants are engaged in them.
- Provide guidance and support for Consultants’ personal and professional development.
- Meet regularly with the Project Manager to align on progress, strategy and challenges.
- Attend mandatory weekly 1-2 hour training sessions.
- Attend and contribute to client meetings as required, maintaining professionalism and confidentiality.
