HybridPermanentFull time
Human Engine is a Financial Times top-ranked management consultancy with specialisms in strategy, transformation, procurement, customer experience and digital. We started in 2018 because we believed the public sector deserved better from consulting – more personal, more human and more knowledgeable of the realities of modern public services. All consulting firms say they’re different – with a founding team that came from within the public sector, the Human Engine difference is that we’ve seen it, done it and been on the sharp end of change. We are a small business that punches well above its weight. We’ve been named as one of the UK’s leading management consultancies by the Financial Times every year since 2020 – one of the youngest and smallest firms to make the list. To date we’ve worked with more than 70 clients in local government, central government, the NHS, charitable and regulatory sectors. We’re now looking to add some exceptionally talented and passionate people to our award-winning team. Commercial, procurement and contracts consulting has been a big part of our business from the very start. From implementing improved contract management capabilities to delivering cashable savings that support sustainable public services, this is one of our key areas of opportunity and growth. We’re looking for experienced consultants to join this part of the business and are open to applications at a range of levels. All our consulting roles involve strategic change in some way – whether developing strategy, designing operating models or delivering savings – so it’s essential that you can demonstrate this experience. This could be from a career within one of our key markets, such as local government, or from a background in consulting.
