About the Role

As Principal, you will own the answer, leading complex client engagements end-to-end, from shaping the question with the client to defending the recommendation in the boardroom. You will carry the commercial process alongside Marsh and Oliver Wyman Partners.

Responsibilities

End-to-end leadership of client engagements: scoping, workstream design, team leadership, quality of the analysis and delivery, and the final recommendation to senior client executives.
Serve as the primary day-to-day counterpart for CHROs, transformation leaders, and their teams, building trusted relationships.
Drive delivery across the people agenda: workforce transformation, organizational transformation and design, HR transformation, and complex talent and rewards mandates.
Manage the commercial process, including shaping proposals, following up on engagements, uncovering opportunities, and leading pursuits.
Build and lead high-performing project teams across Europe and develop consultants through apprenticeship.
Create additive thought leadership, build reusable assets, and utilize AI-enabled ways of working.

Requirements

Several years (typically 8+) of consulting experience in a dynamic and demanding environment, ideally with a top-tier strategy consulting firm or a leading people advisory practice, with a consistent record of high performance.
A track record of selling and leading client engagements end-to-end in fast-paced environments with tangible client impact.
Credibility with senior executives, including experience presenting to, challenging, and winning the confidence of C-level stakeholders.
Depth in at least one of the following areas: workforce transformation, organizational design and development, HR transformation and HR operating models, talent, or rewards, and genuine curiosity across the rest.
Structured, hypothesis-driven problem solving.
Outstanding written and verbal communication in English.
Ability to turn extensive analysis into concise, actionable client decisions.
A mentor's instinct: role model and coach for developing talent, sparring partner for expert colleagues and clients.
Willingness for European travel during delivery peaks.
Fluent English is required; any further languages are a plus.
