About Avencera
Avencera is a business built to lead in the AI era. We work where the stakes are highest and the problems most complex, bringing the imagination, cut-through, execution smarts, and adaptive collaboration required to help leaders navigate change in an uncertain world. We’re often described as a consulting business, but that only tells part of the story. We don’t diagnose and disappear, and we don’t run the old playbooks. We shape the team and approach to the problem at hand and stay close to the work until it delivers.
That way of working has led to unusually strong, trusting, long-term relationships across central Government, education, healthcare, and enterprise.
As the work grows, so does the team. We’re looking for people with the imagination to open problems up and see possibilities others miss, the judgement to cut through AI noise, and the execution smarts to make things happen. We value ambition — for yourself, for your clients, and for the impact you want to have — without ego. People who succeed at Avencera are intellectually sharp and able to think deeply, operate confidently in complex, real-world environments, and do the hard, often unglamorous work that meaningful change requires.

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.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Role Specification
We’re looking for colleagues who share our values and our high expectations of everything we do. We’d love to hear from colleagues with expertise in strategy, policy, project management, and delivery in central Government directly or those who supply significant services to Government.
Expertise in education, healthcare, or digital would be welcome — though we’re also keen to hear from colleagues who aren’t experts in those sectors, but who do have experience working in / around public policy and service delivery in any other.
At senior consultant level, you’ll likely have five or more years’ experience at management level. You’ll be expected to set the agenda and maintain our high standards, owning substantial work streams / work packages in large client engagements — or leading smaller engagements yourself. You’ll be supported to play a meaningful role in business development to contribute to our firm’s overall growth ambitions.
Person Specification
- High levels of ambition, energy, and resilience, consistent with the firm’s plans for future diversification and growth — and the implications of that trajectory for the role.
- Enjoyment working in an acutely entrepreneurial, commercial, and creative organizational context to drive performance and growth.
- Experience delivering against complex client needs and to a scoped brief in areas such as strategy development, operational delivery, change and transformation, and commercial deals.
- Domain expertise, or demonstrable interest, in public services such that you are confident delivering work in and understanding challenges and opportunities in these areas.
- Strong communication and people management skills — both with clients and stakeholders, and internally working across dynamic, matrix, structures.
- High levels of precision and presentational pride with respect to work product of all kinds. We presume that how you do one thing is how you do everything.
