:Project Summary
:
Are you an ex consultant, a consultant looking for a change of direction or a resource scheduler who has previously worked in a consulting environment? Are you happy to get involved in multiple areas of work, juggling different stakeholders and responding quickly to changing demands, in a dynamic and growing organisation - working alongside a team of experienced ex-consultants?
B2E Consulting are looking for a Capability Manager to join their internal team who :

- can demonstrate the ability to work independently without supervision, as part of a flexible team
The role can be largely remote, with a minimum of one day a month in the London Office (can be more if the candidate would prefer).
Who are B2E?
In a world full of rules and obstacles, B2E Consulting is breaking the mould – B2E is an employee-owned trust, meaning employees hold a permanent or long-term shareholding in the company. At B2E, we are all Partners.
Our innovative business model is flexible and agile, and is already suited to the “New Normal”; we have been operating this way since 2004. We ask our Partners when they can work, which means our model accommodates working parents, return to workers, those with multiple professional interests, as well as more traditional ‘full-time’ employment.
Being a B2E Partner means you are working to solve business problems, share risks and deliver critical outcomes. Our Consulting work spans the financial services, telecommunications, pharmaceutical and tech industries, among others. We have supported leading blue chip companies in these sectors for 18 years and with an impressive track record to show for it. Our client strategy is based around investing heavily to establish long term relationships with a small number of clients to ensure quality.
At B2E, we are dedicated to building diversity, inclusion and sustainability into our organisation. We are proud to be in the top 5% of companies assessed by EcoVadis, winning a Gold Medal for the 2022 EcoVadis Sustainability Assessment. A sense of acceptance, and commitment to the wider environment, is important in our culture.
Key Areas of Work
:
This permanent (internal) opportunity is for a Capability Manager, initially to focus on the critical searching and screening element of B2E Consulting’s role to find and select suitable consultants to work on our clients’ projects. This involves really understanding the client’s requirements, an ability to maximise the benefits of our bespoke database of 20,000 consultants and a dogged determination to find and select the best consultants using other sources such as LinkedIn if needed.
This permanent (internal) opportunity as Capability Manager will include, but not be restricted to, some or all of the following duties, according to business need and individual capability:

Over time, and based on ability and aspirations, there is plenty of scope within the organisation to take on more client responsibilities – building relationships at the client site to become a trusted partner, and helping the hiring managers to define their requirements and ensure that they have the right consultant in place as smoothly as possible, and that any resourcing issues during the delivery phase of the project are identified, raised and resolved as quickly as possible.
Does all or most of this role feel like "you"? We are happy to shape the opportunity for the right person - it might be full time or part time (3 days) and can be flexibly worked across 4/5 days.
