DELIVERY LEAD SENIOR CONSULTANT
London / Hybrid
ABOUT US
MMCG is a digital transformation consultancy with over a decade of experience helping organisations across the public and private sectors turn ambitious ideas into successful digital transformation, combining strategic thinking with hands-on delivery to solve complex challenges.
Our expertise spans delivery leadership, business analysis, business change, agile transformation, data and technology. Whether we're shaping strategy, leading major programmes or embedding alongside client teams, our focus is always the same: delivering meaningful outcomes that leave organisations stronger than we found them.
As we continue to grow, we're looking for people who are naturally curious, collaborative and motivated by solving real-world problems. You'll work alongside experienced consultants on high-profile transformation programmes, have the opportunity to broaden your skills across multiple disciplines, and be trusted to make a genuine impact from day one.
We're proud of our culture. It's built on collaboration, continuous learning and giving people the support and autonomy to do their best work. If you're looking for somewhere you can grow your career while helping deliver transformation that matters, we'd love to hear from you.
ROLE SUMMARY
We are looking for Senior Delivery Lead Consultants to join our growing Delivery Business Unit. This job specification covers Senior Consultant level, with the final appointment level dependent on experience, client fit and the complexity of the engagement.
You will work with clients across the public and private sectors to plan, manage and deliver projects that turn strategic objectives into practical outcomes. Depending on level, this may include running defined projects or workstreams, or leading the end-to-end delivery of complex projects across the full project lifecycle.
No two engagements will be the same. You may be working in ambiguous environments, shaping delivery plans from high-level requirements, coordinating multidisciplinary teams, managing suppliers, tracking RAID, supporting stage gate reviews, reporting to senior stakeholders and ensuring delivery remains focused on value, pace and successful implementation.
Alongside client-facing delivery, you will support MMCG internally through business development, bid activity, internal operations, delivery capability development and other priority areas that help the business grow, operate effectively and strengthen its delivery offering.
