Management Consultant, National Security
Location: London
Work Arrangement: Hybrid (up to 3 days per week onsite)
Security Clearance: Active eDV Clearance Required
About the Role
Some consulting roles improve businesses. Others help protect the UK.
Ncounter is supporting the growth of an established consultancy delivering strategic and operational consulting services across some of the UK's most sensitive National Security and Intelligence programmes. This is an opportunity to work alongside organisations whose work rarely reaches the public eye, supporting complex missions that directly contribute to the safety and security of the UK.
You'll join an experienced consulting team trusted to solve challenging problems for intelligence and government organisations operating in highly secure environments. The work is varied, fast-moving and often ambiguous, requiring consultants who enjoy bringing clarity to complex situations while building trusted relationships with senior stakeholders.
No two engagements are the same. One programme may focus on improving operational capability, another on delivering organisational change, shaping product strategy, defining business requirements, or helping major transformation programmes achieve successful outcomes. Whatever the challenge, you'll play a key role in delivering meaningful, measurable results.
