Consultant – Engagement Management
London (Hybrid) | Korn Ferry UK & Ireland
At Korn Ferry, we help organisations align strategy and talent to drive performance. As demand for large-scale transformation continues to grow, we're expanding our UK&I Consulting team and are looking for a Consultant to support the successful delivery of client engagements across our Consulting business.
This role is solution-agnostic. While many of our current programmes sit within Assessment & Succession and Leadership & Professional Development, what matters most is your ability to manage project activity, coordinate stakeholders, and help deliver exceptional client experiences.
What you'll do
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
