Prepare yourself for a refreshingly honest advert. 

8 weeks from go live probably isn’t the time to start redesigning the architecture.

It is a very good time to bring in someone who’s seen this movie before.

We’re looking for a seasoned Transformation Architect to join a circa £25m business transformation programme, built predominantly around the Microsoft technology stack.

The programme is well underway. The first go live is approximately 8 weeks away and a lot of the big architectural decisions have already been made.

So, in the interest of transparency… you’re not being brought in to tell everyone how you would have done it.

Your job is to understand what’s there, assimilate a lot of information very quickly and use your experience to help get this transformation over the line.

There will inevitably be things you might have done differently. That’s transformation.

They need someone experienced enough to recognise the difference between something that genuinely needs addressing and something that simply needs accepting and delivering

This position will see you working closely with the programme sponsor and that relationship is important.

They’re looking for someone capable of taking a view across the transformation, joining the dots and giving clear, considered advice when it matters. And, importantly, your voice will travel.

This is a sponsor who listens, understands that they won’t always have the answer and is prepared to act on good advice in real time.

There’s not layer upon layer of hierarchy to fight through before somebody makes a decision.

You’ll also be joining a friendly organisation with a relatively high appetite for risk. Things move quickly, decisions get made and you’ll need to be comfortable operating in that environment.

This isn’t architecture from the sidelines.

It’s delivery.

We need somebody who has been through multiple major transformation programmes and knows what this stage of a programme actually feels like.

You’ll need:

• A strong Enterprise / Transformation Architecture background

• Multiple large-scale, end-to-end transformation programmes under your belt

• Experience working across the Microsoft technology stack

• A considerable amount of transformation delivery experience

• The ability to absorb a lot of information and understand a programme quickly

• Experience operating as a trusted advisor to C-suite stakeholders

• Strong enough judgement to know when to challenge and when to move forward

• The pragmatism to work with the architecture, decisions and constraints already in place

• The ability to operate comfortably in an organisation with a high appetite for risk

And a quick word on scale. This is a transformation costing approximately £25m.

We’re looking for somebody accustomed to programmes of this size and ideally considerably larger. If £25m feels like a particularly big transformation programme, this probably isn’t the right assignment.(I told you it was refreshingly honest).

The initial contract is six months with a good chance of extension, sits outside IR35 and is predominantly remote, with occasional travel to the client’s HQ.

There are Learning roles where you’re handed a training plan and asked to deliver it.

This isn’t one of them.

We’re working with a growing Change, Adoption & Learning team looking for a Senior Learning Consultant who wants to play a genuine part in how people experience major technology transformation.

A major ERP transformation can have the best technology, processes and project plan in the world. If people aren’t properly equipped to work differently when it goes live, you’ve got a fairly expensive problem on your hands. Obviously, I’m preaching to the choir. 

If you’re working with clients on large-scale transformation programmes, taking learning from the early stages of Training Needs Analysis right through to curriculum design, content creation, delivery and measuring whether any of it actually worked, this is going to be right up your street. 

This is consultancy in its truest sense. 

That means sitting with stakeholders, understanding what their people genuinely need, challenging assumptions where necessary and helping clients make sensible decisions about how learning and adoption should work across their programme.

This isn’t just writing training material. You’ll be a doing bit of everything across the learning lifecycle.

You might be running a Training Needs Analysis on one project, designing a blended learning curriculum on another, working with SMEs to turn complex processes into something people can actually use, or advising a client on why their original training approach probably needs a rethink.

You’ll also:

• Design accessible, engaging learning experiences across different formats

• Work closely with stakeholders, SMEs and project teams

• Facilitate sessions and support learning delivery

• Manage learning risks, dependencies and competing priorities

• Quality-assure learning materials and deliverables

• Help evolve the tools, templates and approaches used across the wider team

Here’s what we’re looking for:

• 3+ years’ experience delivering learning or training within ERP or enterprise technology transformation.

• Dynamics 365 experience would be great, but it’s absolutely not a deal-breaker. If your background is in SAP, Oracle, Workday, IFS or another major enterprise platform, we’d still like to hear from you.

• Experience with Articulate, Camtasia or Lemon Learning would be useful. 

• TAP or Microsoft Certified Trainer qualifications are a bonus

• Spanish, French or German language skills are a bonus too but definitely not essential

More important is that you understand what learning looks like in a complex transformation environment.

You’ll know your way around Training Needs Analysis, curriculum design and blended learning, but you’ll also be comfortable having conversations with senior stakeholders, asking good questions and occasionally saying:

“I’m not sure that’s the best way to do this.”

Nicely…obviously.

There’s a base salary of £55-65,000 on offer plus bonus and the role affords lots of flexibility to work remotely in the UK provided you can get down to the London HQ once in a while

Some transformation jobs start with a strategy.

This one starts a bit earlier than that.

What are we actually trying to change? Why are we changing it? What will good look like? And how do we make sure we don't spend the next two years and several million quid discovering we answered the wrong question?

I'm working with a digital transformation consultancy looking for an experienced Business Transformation Director to help its clients answer exactly those sorts of questions.

You'll work with senior and C-suite stakeholders at the front end of complex transformation programmes, helping shape the vision, operating model, business case and roadmap before connecting all of that through to the people who ultimately have to make the change work.

It's broad by design.

One engagement might have you facilitating an executive workshop and shaping a new operating model. Another could see you reviewing a transformation that's already underway, working out whether the expected benefits are actually going to materialise and challenging the programme where they aren't.

You'll sit across business transformation, organisational design, change, business analysis and learning, bringing the various pieces together rather than disappearing down one particular rabbit hole.

They're looking for someone with significant management consulting experience who is comfortable advising, influencing and occasionally challenging people with considerably more impressive job titles than their own.

You'll probably have 10+ years behind you and a strong grounding in areas like transformation strategy, operating models, organisational design, benefits realisation and transformation governance.

You'll also help develop other consultants, shape propositions and get involved in bids and client conversations.

And there's an important distinction here:

There are no individual sales targets.

Yes, you'll be commercially aware. Yes, you'll spot opportunities and help grow client relationships. But you haven't secretly applied for a sales job wearing a transformation hat.

The role is remote-first, with the expectation that you'll spend time in the London office and at client sites around the UK when it makes sense.

Package is £80,000–£110,000 + bonus and benefits, depending on experience.

If you're a senior transformation consultant who loves the thinking, the problem solving and the client work…and still actually wants to do some consulting….I'd love to hear from you.

Dear Change Managers, 

**Do me a favour and just imagine I’m writing this on a typewriter and not a Lenovo laptop. For some reason, that makes me feel a little more comfortable starting with ‘Dear’. Yes I could delete it and start again but I’ve committed now**

I have the absolute pleasure, nay…the honour, of supporting one of my longstanding consulting clients with their latest search for a Business Change Consultant. 

**OK, I’ve said nay now…might be better to think of a parchment and quill…anyway**

For the last four years they have been adding to their dedicated change practice with some of the best change and learning specialists across the land and now, they have sent me/ us/ GTC on a quest to find their next business change hero. 

**I’m so lost. Stay with me…please**

My client has tasked us with searching for a worthy person with two to three years experience in consulting and an appetite to take their next step on the path to change greatness. 

You will be working with some of the bravest, boldest, best…est humans in the change world, tasked with leading your clients to the holy grail of the business transformation universe…go live.

**I thought that bit was quite good. I’m clawing it back**

This is a consultancy operating in the technology space with a penchant towards Microsoft products (keep thinking quill and parchment though) and on this particular occasion they would love the next person to join to have experience with AI (QUILL AND PARCHMENT). 

“AI’s quite broad!” I hear you cry. Chill out. In this case, experience of supporting clients with co-pilot would be just fine. 

The client are headquartered in a beautiful castle (I’ve committed to medieval here-it’s a very swanky office) in London but despite the need to go in from time to time there is lots of flexibility to work remotely/ from your own castle. 

There’s a base salary of £45-55,000 on offer plus bonus and benefits and as well as the opportunity to work with an incredible team you’ll also play a part in shaping the change and learning practice internally. 

Interested? Get in touch for more information or hit the link in this advert/ masterpiece to apply. 

*Unsure if this disclaimer is needed but no AI was used in the creation of this advert…masterpiece

There aren't many software engineering jobs where you can genuinely say the thing you're building might help get potentially life changing medical technology into the hands of patients faster.

But…this is one of them.

I'm working with a rapidly growing technology business operating at the intersection of software, AI and healthcare, helping some of the world's most ambitious medical technology companies navigate the incredibly complex world of regulatory approval.

They're growing their engineering team and looking for an experienced Software Engineer with Clojure experience to join them.

The problems they're solving aren't straightforward.

You'll be building products that help streamline complex regulatory processes without compromising safety or quality, working across their stack and collaborating closely with engineers, product people, designers and regulatory specialists.

And they're pretty opinionated about how good engineering teams should work.

There are no daily stand-ups, very few scheduled meetings and no fixed working hours (Read that again)Collaboration is largely asynchronous, people are trusted to make decisions and you're given the autonomy to choose the tools that help you do your best work.

Here’s what you’ll need to apply:

• Professional Clojure experience is the big one, alongside a strong background in full-stack web development.

• My client are looking for people who are curious, comfortable thinking from first principles and genuinely enjoy solving difficult problems rather than simply picking up the next ticket from a backlog.

• Experience within health tech, medical technology or regulated environments would be useful, but isn't essential.

This is a remote first role and you can be based anywhere within roughly 2 hours of the UK timezone. The team gets together at their London office for a week at least twice a year, so you'll need to be comfortable travelling in for those sessions.

Base salary is €100-175,000 and equity is offered.

Hey 👋

I'm working with a client going through a large-scale digital transformation who needs an experienced Data Business Analyst to join their data team and help bridge the gap between the business, D365 and their new reporting capability.

The business is implementing Dynamics 365 F&O alongside a new cloud data platform, with D365 data ultimately feeding a new reporting and Power BI environment.

Your job is to understand what the business actually needs from its data, map those requirements back to D365 F&O and the underlying data model, and make sure the technical teams have requirements they can actually build against.

What you'll be doing:

• Working with business SMEs to understand data and reporting requirements

• Mapping requirements back to D365 F&O source data

• Translating business needs into clear requirements for BI and data teams

• Running workshops and challenging requirements where things don't quite stack up

• Identifying gaps around data availability, quality and ownership

• Supporting Power BI reporting requirements and UAT

• Acting as the translator between business stakeholders and technical data teams

If you’re interested, strong Data Business Analysis experience is the focus. You'll need to be comfortable working with data models, data flows and reporting requirements, alongside solid Dynamics 365 F&O experience and an understanding of how its data is structured and used.

Power BI exposure would be very useful, while experience with Databricks, Azure Synapse Link or similar modern data platforms would be a bonus rather than a deal breaker.

Most importantly, they're after someone who can get underneath a requirement rather than simply writing down whatever they're told.

This is an initial 6 month contract paying £550 per day outside IR35. It's a hybrid role with lots of flexibility to work remotely and only very occasional travel to site.
