• Integrating data analytics, interpretation and insights into change management, workforce planning, and decision-making processes. 
• Understanding how digital platforms (e.g. ERP) impact workforce planning, culture, and decision-making. 
• Leveraging data to measure change readiness, effectiveness, and enable informed decision making. 
• Advising on skills implications of digital and AI adoption, including reskilling, capability uplift and workforce transition. 
• Conducting user research and engagement activities (interviews, workshops, usability testing) to inform digital change strategies. 

You will bring many of the following attributes: 

• High levels of emotional intelligence and experience working with a range of stakeholders so that you can adapt your approach to different client and organisational contexts. 
• A collaborative and enthusiastic style, with flexibility to work on diverse challenges in small, cross functional, or large teams.  
• Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills with an ability to delivery practical results.  
• Excellent written and oral communication skills which enable you to translate complex digital concepts into clear, human-centred messages. 
• The ability to build trusted relationships quickly with colleagues, clients and senior stakeholders. 
• A forward-thinking mindset with a strong interest in future of work, AI, digital transformation, workforce strategy and people analytics. 
• Professional accreditation or formal training (e.g. change management, agile, product, data or digital) is helpful but not essential. We place strong emphasis on learning and development. 

We know the skill-gap and ‘somewhat need to tick every box’ can get in the way of meeting brilliant candidates, so please don’t hesitate to apply – we’d love to hear from you.

Please be aware that some of our UK roles at PA Consulting require a UK security clearance.

All PA people are required to undergo background checks and to achieve the Baseline Personnel Security Standard however, some UK roles also require higher levels of National Security Vetting, where applicants must have at least 5 years of continuous residency in the UK.

We therefore ask that you only apply if you meet the residency requirements (i.e. you are a British citizen or have been resident in the UK for the past 5 years), as this is the prerequisite for a security clearance. If you're unsure about your eligibility, we encourage you to review the UK Government’s guidance on security vetting before applying.
