Career Pathways Consultant - Professional Services Transformation
At Blue Astral, employed by a high-growth professional services firm, we require an experienced Career Pathways Consultant to lead the next phase of a business-wide transformation programme.
About the Role
We are in the process of executing an operating model and Organisation Design overhaul. The foundational work is complete, and the focus has now shifted to developing detailed and actionable career pathways for both consultants and head office staff—translating high-level strategy into executable plans, bridging skills, talent, and development strands, and maintaining alignment with senior stakeholders.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a hands-on role. Your responsibilities will include:
- Designing practical career pathways
- Ensuring alignment between pathways, skills frameworks, talent strategies, promotions, and development
- Managing interdependencies with the existing operating model and organisational design
- Guiding stakeholders through decision-making
- Roll up your sleeves and get work done
What We’re Looking For
- Experience designing career pathways, progression frameworks, or career architecture—particularly in professional services firms.
- Familiarity with skills, capability, or competency frameworks.
- Understanding of how career pathways link to talent processes, performance management, promotion structures, and professional development.
- Recognition of the interdependencies between:
- Career pathways
- Operating model
- Organisational design
- Transformation consulting experience, particularly in managing stakeholder engagement throughout the process.
- Readiness to execute effectively and drive initiatives forward hands-on.
