Salary: £40,000–£45,000

We've partnered with a growing consultancy who are hiring a Senior Business Consultant to deliver high-quality consulting engagements across Housing Associations—with a focus on HMS transformation and implementation.

- Data platform direction and migrations (e.g., Microsoft Fabric / Databricks—advisory/SME, not hands-on build)
- Enterprise architecture, process / capability reviews
What you’ll do
- Lead and deliver client engagements with limited escalation
- Own project delivery: quality, stakeholder comms, planning/prioritisation
- Strengthen client relationships and help identify follow-on opportunities
- Support junior consultants (coaching, feedback, knowledge sharing)
- Contribute to improving delivery ways of working and internal standards

Nice to have
- Broader Microsoft ecosystem understanding: M365, Azure, AI strategy / Copilot guidance
- Repairs systems knowledge (e.g., Totalmobile, DRS, Plentific)
Working pattern & travel

- Some overnight travel may be required depending on client need
Benefits
- Unlimited holiday
- 5% matched pension
- Healthcare scheme
Interview process
- Stage 1: Intro conversation (remote or in-person)
