Make an Impact at RSM UK

At RSM, our consulting team brings together diverse advisory experts to deliver our six core solutions: business transformation, forensic, deal services, restructuring, finance function support, and risk and governance. Our solutions address the unique needs, challenges, and opportunities our clients face as they strive to achieve their aspirations and organisational goals. Whether it’s supporting global expansion, developing acquisition strategies, facilitating private equity investments, or collaborating with boards to manage risk and governance, our consulting experts work as one cohesive team.

We prioritise simplicity, providing data-driven insights, value-added assurance, and high-quality execution to empower our clients in building sustainable, future-fit businesses.

It’s an exciting time to join our consulting team whether in supporting internal project delivery or client-facing engagements, as we embark on ambitious growth plans that promise to create diverse career opportunities. We are committed to enhancing our six solutions, expanding and developing our team of expert consultants, embracing a digital-first approach, strengthening our global presence, and building strong client relationships.

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced individual to join either our:

• Operations, Programme and Change Management team within our growing Business Transformation Consulting practice,
  or
• Consulting Service Line team that supports our six core solutions driving forward internal project delivery

• Being a team player with a ‘can do’ attitude and valuing collaboration and idea exchange
• Being a problem solver, creative thinker, and self-starter who is organised, proactive and inquisitive
• Supporting the delivery of transformation projects and demonstrating value delivered to organisations
• Juggling multiple deadlines and competing priorities in a fast-paced environment

Are you someone who thrives on variety, loves learning new things, and enjoys connecting with people? If you can spot inefficiencies in everyday life and are passionate about making improvements, this role is perfect for you!

We value diverse experiences and perspectives. Here’s what we’re looking for in our ideal candidate:

• Experience working within a professional services or consulting environment, supporting multiple projects or work streams
• Knowledge of either operating model design and transformation or change management principles, including stakeholder engagement and communication support
• Experience supporting or operating within a Project Management Office (PMO), including project planning, governance, reporting, and RAID management
• Ability to identify, consolidate and clearly communicate risks and issues within projects or programmes, escalating appropriately
• Experience supporting the planning and facilitation of workshops, including preparing materials, capturing requirements, identifying process gaps, documenting actions
• Strong academic record: preferably with a relevant or business-focused degree (such as finance, accounting, business management or data…
