Job description
Would you like to be part of a company with the energy of a start-up, but which competes with ‘The Big Four’ for clients? We are looking for ambitious, curious and creative people who want to drive change and make things happen with end-to-end exposure across projects.
Do you want to make a difference and bring about meaningful change in different areas of the business?
Do you want to develop your skills and grow your career in a coaching-focused environment designed to help employees perform at their highest level?
Who we are
We help our clients design and deliver digital, technology and organisational transformation - solving real problems for real people. We research, design and build things: better services and products, better ways of working, better user experiences and better organisations and culture. Our core areas of expertise are analysis, research, analytics, data; user-centred design (service design, content design, interaction design and user research); product management and delivery; business change and people development.
We primarily work in the public sector, supporting initiatives that improve society and the lives of citizens; with not-for-profit organisations, charities and social enterprises; and with some private-sector companies. The key sectors we're working in at the moment include education, apprenticeships & skills development, social care, rehabilitation, housing and criminal justice - but we're always growing, developing and finding out about new things.
