Business Change and Transformation Recruitment Consultant - London

 

Are you a driven recruitment professional with a proven track record in professional services, technology, or transformation markets? We're looking for an experienced consultant to join our specialist Change & Transformation practice — one of the most active and fastest-growing desks in our London office.

We partner with finance, technology, and operations leaders across the UK to deliver proven transformation talent — fast. Whether our clients are upgrading systems, integrating post-M&A, or delivering ERP at scale, they come to us when internal teams are stretched and specialist skills are critical.

About the Practice

Our Change & Transformation desk operates at the sharp end of major business-critical programmes. We recruit both interim and permanent talent across the full spectrum of transformation disciplines — placing specialists who deliver real change into organisations undergoing some of the most complex and high-value projects in their history.

Our placement remit spans:

–    Business change and programme management (PMO, Programme Directors, Change Managers)

–    ERP and systems implementation (SAP, Oracle, Workday, Dynamics)

–    Post-merger integration and operating model redesign

–    Finance and technology transformation across FTSE, PE-backed, and public sector clients

–    Digital transformation, process improvement, and organisational change

The Role

As a Senior Consultant, you will own and develop client relationships within your chosen vertical, running a full 360° desk or focusing on business development, depending on your strengths and experience. You'll work alongside a team of senior consultants and directors who are experts in their markets — and who understand how to win and retain enterprise-level clients.

Day to day, you will:

–    Build and manage relationships with senior hiring stakeholders — CPOs, CFOs, CTOs, and Heads of Change — across corporate and professional services organisations

–    Develop a pipeline of high-quality interim and permanent candidates within the transformation market

–    Run end-to-end assignments: scoping, search, shortlisting, and offer management

–    Contribute to business development through targeted outreach, networking, and market insight

–    Work collaboratively with the wider team to deliver on retained and contingency mandates

–    Represent the business at industry events, roundtables, and client briefings

What We're Looking For

Essential:

–    Minimum 3 years' recruitment experience, ideally within change, transformation, technology, or professional services markets

–    A demonstrable track record of billing consistently and managing your own desk

–    Strong relationship-building skills with the confidence to engage at senior and C-suite level

–    Experience placing interim and/or permanent professionals into complex organisations

–    Commercial acumen and the drive to develop and grow a market

Desirable:

–    Knowledge of business change disciplines — PMO, business analysis, programme delivery, ERP — and the talent landscape that supports them

–    Experience working on retained or exclusive mandates

–    An existing network within finance, technology, or operations hiring communities

What We Offer

We're an established agency with a genuine specialism — not a generalist firm trying to cover every sector. That means credibility with clients, a warm desk with live mandates, and the infrastructure to support your success.

–    Competitive base salary (dependent on experience) with a high-earning, uncapped commission structure

–    Hybrid working — central London office with flexibility

–    A structured onboarding programme and ongoing L&D investment

–    Clear and transparent career progression to Principal, Associate Director, and beyond

–    A collaborative, high-performance culture with low staff turnover

–    Access to a well-established client portfolio, market data, and research support
