People and Change Consultant

Organisations don’t change, people do. Work with clients to design change programmes with people at the heart, driving adoption and making change stick.

What you'll do

Across every one of our change programmes, there are people involved. They might be essential decision-makers, operational staff, or end-users for the client. You’ll engage with and bring people together at the correct strategic times to effect positive change.

You’ll be a stellar listener and a savvy communicator to people at all levels to help their businesses and our projects run smoothly. You’ll get to grips with the corporate culture, understand the clients' problems, pay attention to what they like, and help people on an organisational scale with creativity and empathy to embed change in organisations across multiple industries.

What we'll be looking for in you:

  • Strong analytical and conceptual capabilities, but you don't need to be an engineer or mathematician
  • Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills
  • Real self-awareness and emotional intelligence
  • The ability to draw meaningful insights from an ocean of information
  • Self-motivation and an eagerness to take on early responsibility
  • A collaborative mindset and ability to work effectively as part of a team
  • A highly flexible and adaptable approach
  • A record of academic achievement

FAQs

Does it matter if I do not have a scientific or engineering background?

Our consultants come from a variety of educational backgrounds, including art, music, and language. However, regardless of degree, our consultants are required to have strong analytical skills. There is a focus on testing your mathematical and data analysis abilities in our application process, but we do not require a science-based degree subject of our candidates.

What are the key skills you look for?

We look for brilliant people who’d bring a range of skills to Newton. As we work on some of the most complex problems in the UK, we look for strong analytical skills and creative problem-solving abilities. Additionally, we work hand-in-hand with our clients so excellent interpersonal and communication skills are incredibly valuable as well.

Can I apply if I already have experience? Or should I apply to Experienced Hire?

Our experienced hire positions are only open to people with a minimum of 3 years of relevant consulting experience. Our graduate positions are open for anyone to apply. However, we must be transparent and stress that these are graduate positions and cannot be adjusted for candidates with several years of experience in other industries. All our graduates are treated the same, so this could become tedious for someone with many years of experience in previous positions.

Do I need to have a 2:1? Is the offer conditional on my degree?

There is no formal degree classification required for the role, however, we do look for strong analytical skills which are assessed in our online test.

Is there a limit to when I can apply after I’ve graduated? (e.g., if I graduated 3 or 4 years ago, can I still apply?)

We accept applications from already-graduated students, including previous candidates, so there is no time limit. That being said, if you have three or more years of relevant consulting experience, you would most likely be more suited to one of our experienced hire roles.
