You’ll build relationships, work closely with colleagues at all levels, and prioritise continuous learning for yourself and others.

We’re committed to helping you fulfil your potential.

You’ll also learn Agile project management techniques and receive support to become a member of the Association of Project Managers.

In this role, you’ll be working with ambitious manufacturing businesses to help them deliver visionary projects, working with senior leaders down to shop-floor staff, across finance, cost, estimating, procurement, engineering and quality, business development, and business transformation.

This role is very project-based, but your title will be ‘Business Transformation Coach’. We’ll walk you through the what, how and why – providing all the training, guidance and mentoring you’ll need. You won’t just be a corporate cog or a caviller consultant, bulldozing into a company and walking away. We work with our clients, not for them. We’re business transformation experts, providing support, coaching and expertise to enable companies to thrive.

This role will appeal to you if your traits are inquisitive, humble, and articulate. Our team of transformation coaches thrive on developing great people and businesses for this generation and the next. There’s variety every day, and you’ll be influencing and instigating progressive change.

This is not a tick-box job or a boxed-off role in a specific department and/or company.  You’ll learn from fellow coaches and quickly broaden your knowledge and understanding of how a rich variety of business types can operate, develop, and thrive.

The Key Requirements…

• Two to four years of experience in leading and delivering projects (within any industry)
• Demonstrable success in driving change by working with or leading a cross-functional team
• Evidence of influencing the thinking of senior business leaders, building trust and credibility
• IT proficiency – the ability to interpret and manipulate data via Microsoft Excel

**Please note that this is a client-facing role which will require you to work away from home (in the UK) up to four nights a week**

You’ll be working for a company that values integrity, inspiration, and purpose. This role is far from just technical talk and know-how; it’s that flair for building relationships, trust, and credibility. You might have the answers, but you can’t do the work yourself. This role is all about influencing without authority, earning the respect and belief of the people who’ll need to enact the solutions you advise.

Initially, you’ll work with a mentor and liaise closely with an on-site project leader. As you grow into the role, you’ll support more clients and take on overall project ownership. This is a Monday-to-Friday role, working and travelling remotely and working from home on Fridays.

We help to inspire clarity of purpose, efficient working environments, and professional engagement. We work shoulder-to-shoulder with local workforces, training, coaching, and mentoring businesses to address their own specific goals and challenges.  We are motivated by sharing expert knowledge and helping ambitious supply chain companies to grow, evolve, and thrive.
