Job Description
Summary
Alvarium Talent is partnering with a highly agile, independent consultancy and certified B Corp, recognized every year since 2020 by the Financial Times as one of the UK’s Leading Management Consultancies. Renowned for the trust they build with clients and partners, this consultancy works closely with the public sector to create better places for the people who live, work, and learn in them.
They work in partnership with the public sector to make places better for the people that live, work, and learn in them. Housing and regeneration are a major focus of this work, supporting clients to deliver new homes, improve placemaking, and support communities.
Integrity, inclusivity, social and environmental awareness are at the heart of what they do, and they collaborate with their clients to deliver sustainable change, meaningful impact, and better outcomes.
Our client works across Local & Central Government, Housing & Development, Education, Health & Social Care and Blue Light Services.
Their services in these sectors typically take the shape of:
- Placemaking & Regeneration
- Finance & Assets
- Procurement & Partnerships
- Strategy & Transformation
- People & Change
- Customer, Digital & Technology
- Business Cases
About You
If you are values-driven, ambitious, and passionate about public sector impact, you’ll thrive here.
Our client hire the person first, experience second, shaping the role around the individual. They recognise that every candidate’s experiences and background will be different and value a broad, diverse range of perspectives.
You may have:
- Three to five years (or more) of experience in property, regeneration, housing, or development services
- A professional background in property, urban planning, development, real estate, or regeneration, ideally with experience working for or alongside local government
- MRCIS or RTPI qualifications (desirable but not essential)
- Proven experience managing multiple projects or workstreams simultaneously, including monitoring timelines, budgets, and key risks
- Knowledge and hands-on experience in writing feasibility studies and business cases
- Competence in conducting and reviewing development appraisals
- Strong ability to engage effectively with clients, teams, and stakeholders, either in a leadership role or as part of a collaborative team
- Capacity to work independently, self-manage time and resources, and take initiative
- Experience supporting business development activities, including preparing proposals, creating case studies, and contributing to marketing materials
- A demonstrable commitment to enhancing public sector and local government services
The Role
We are looking for candidates interested in helping design and deliver services that support local government in:
- Developing places and securing future housing through strategic decision-making, option appraisals, feasibility studies, robust business cases, and accessing regional or government funding; as well as targeted projects such as high street revitalization
- Delivering effective planning, development management, development viability, programme management, and project management
- Establishing real or virtual funds to drive economic growth, recovery, and other strategic objectives
- Generating sustainable long-term income or one-off receipts through optimized use of assets
- Identifying opportunities and evaluating options to drive regeneration, housing development, and growth ambitions
- Securing delivery expertise through complex, high-value procurement exercises
- Developing strategic approaches to securing investment through the creation of trading companies, joint ventures, and partnerships
Candidates are not expected to have experience in all of these areas. In fact, the consultancy values focused expertise with strong evidence of success in some key areas over broad but shallow experience.
Additional Details
The office is located in London Bridge, with a hybrid working model that offers flexibility to work from home or the office, as well as travel to client sites when required.
Applicants must have the right to work in the UK, as visa sponsorship is not available. The consultancy is an inclusive employer and will provide adjustments to support applications where needed, including alternative formats or accessibility accommodations. They also participate in the Disability Confident Scheme.
Benefits
- 25 days annual leave + bank holidays
- Flexi bank holidays – the option to substitute religious holidays for a date that is meaningful to you
- The option to purchase up to 5 additional annual leave days (per year)
- Annual performance-based bonus (discretionary)
- Matched pension up to 6% of gross salary
- Enhanced maternity and shared parental leave
- Work-life balance – they recognise that everyone has interests and commitments outside of their work, so flexible working arrangements are actively supported
- A friendly and supportive working environment with regular opportunities for collaboration, team socials and modern offices with excellent facilities
- Annual team summer away day and Christmas party
- Opportunities to get involved in their social value programme of volunteering and pro-bono support to causes that align with their mission
