Role Overview

Bridgemead Advisory is seeking an exceptional Strategy and Operational Transformation Consultant to drive the delivery of high-impact advisory engagements across strategy, organisational transformation, talent, governance and business performance.
This is not a traditional consulting role. We are looking for someone who has successfully led strategy and transformation initiatives from within organisations, not just advised on them.
The ideal candidate has built businesses, led functions, managed complex programs, implemented enterprise-wide initiatives and understands the realities of execution.
The successful candidate will combine strategic thinking with practical execution, helping clients move from ideas to measurable outcomes.
Beyond delivering client engagements, the Lead Consultant will play a critical leadership role within Bridgemead Advisory by developing consultants, strengthening delivery capability, contributing to business development and helping shape the firm's intellectual capital.

Client Advisory & Project Delivery:

Lead complex consulting engagements from diagnosis through implementation.
Work closely with executive teams to identify strategic priorities and develop practical, implementable solutions.
Translate business challenges into actionable strategies, operating models and execution roadmaps.

Ensure projects deliver measurable business value within agreed timelines and budgets.
Provide trusted advisory support to CEOs, Managing Directors, Executive Committees and Boards.

Strategy Implementation:

Support clients beyond strategy development by leading implementation and change management efforts.
Design governance structures, operating rhythms and accountability mechanisms that ensure successful execution.
Monitor implementation progress, identify risks and recommend corrective actions.
Lead enterprise transformation programmes involving people, processes and organizational capability.

Business Development & Practice Growth:

Identify new business opportunities and build strong relationships with existing and prospective clients.
Lead proposal development, solution design and client presentations.
Contribute to thought leadership, market insights and service innovation.
Represent Bridgemead Advisory at client meetings, conferences and industry engagements.
Support the firm's growth strategy by developing new service offerings and market opportunities.

Leadership & Team Development:

Lead and mentor consultants and analysts.
Build high-performing multidisciplinary teams capable of delivering complex client engagements.
Provide coaching, performance feedback and professional development support.
Foster a culture of excellence, collaboration, accountability and continuous learning.
Allocate project resources effectively and ensure quality across engagements.

Quality Assurance:

Review consulting deliverables to ensure analytical rigour, practicality and quality.
Establish and maintain consulting methodologies, frameworks and delivery standards.
Ensure all client work reflects Bridgemead Advisory's commitment to excellence and measurable impact.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate will possess:

A bachelor's degree in Business, Economics, Engineering, Finance, Management, Social Sciences or a related discipline.
A master's degree or MBA is an advantage.
Minimum of 5 - 8 years of progressive professional experience.
Significant hands-on leadership experience within the consulting industry, advisory, or a combination of both.
Demonstrated experience leading strategy execution, transformation or organisational improvement initiatives.
