We are seeking a Business Architect & Org Design Lead (Associate Director level) to lead complex client engagements and help grow the Strategy+ offer in AECOM Advisory. This is a senior consulting delivery role, broadly equivalent to Manager level in a management consultancy. You will work with infrastructure, public sector and regulated‑industry clients to translate strategy into execution through operating model design, transformation, governance, organisation and performance improvement work.

The role combines hands‑on problem solving, senior stakeholder management, team leadership and targeted business development.

About Strategy+

Strategy+ helps organisations solve complex system‑level challenges by turning strategy into practical, deliverable change. Our work spans capability-led operating model design, governance design, change and transformation, and performance improvement across people, process, data, technology and delivery. Current growth priorities include operating model design, change management, and performance improvement, particularly across sectors such as Energy, Water and Defence.

Here’s what you’ll do:

• Lead complex consulting engagements or major work streams from scoping through delivery, ensuring high‑quality outputs, strong project discipline and clear team accountability.
• Design and apply credible, efficient and scalable methodologies to solve client problems across operating model development, organisation design, governance, service transformation, business change and performance improvement.
• Build trusted relationships with senior client stakeholders, manage expectations confidently and act as a strong day‑to‑day advisor.
• Translate complex analysis into concise, decision‑ready recommendations, roadmaps and executive‑level materials.
• Facilitate workshops and steer cross‑functional discussions to align stakeholders around priorities, trade‑offs and implementation choices.
• Bring a forward‑looking perspective to client discussions through horizon scanning, market awareness and insight into emerging client challenges.
• Coordinate multi‑disciplinary teams and connect clients with the right specialists across AECOM to create joined‑up solutions.
• Manage scope, risk, quality and commercial performance, intervening early where delivery issues emerge.
• Lead business development by identifying follow‑on opportunities, contributing to proposals and deepening relationships in priority sectors and target accounts.
• Coach consultants and senior consultants, providing clear feedback on structuring, analysis, story lining and client delivery.
• Support effective team set‑up and role allocation so that capability is aligned to client need, team development and business priorities.
