Director – Lead Transformation Local Government

Director – Lead Transformation Across Local Government

As our client portfolio continues to grow, we are seeking exceptional people to help us deliver complex transformation programmes and support the next stage of Newtrality’s growth. Our work programme is varied including delivery of major cost reduction programmes, progressing complex ERP implementations and supporting wider reorganisation.

We’re looking for a Director who wants to shape the future of Local Government as it goes through one of its largest transformations to date, as well support change and complex transformation across the wider public sector.

This is a senior leadership role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, builds trust at the highest levels, and delivers work that genuinely improves outcomes for people and places.

As a Director, you’ll lead a portfolio of high‑profile programmes, strengthen and grow executive‑level client relationships, and play a central role in steering the strategic direction of our business. You’ll bring a blend of strategic insight, commercial acumen and delivery excellence, and use it to help councils navigate some of their toughest challenges.

• A portfolio of strategic programmes across Local Government and the wider public sector
• Trusted, long‑term relationships with senior executives and political leaders
• The growth of key accounts and the identification of new opportunities
• The development of consulting capability across our team

• Innovative service offers that keep Newtrality ahead of the market
• A delivery approach that is scalable and relevant that differentiates us from our competitors
• The future direction of the business as part of our Leadership Team

• The confidence and credibility to represent Newtrality across the sector
• Experience of working at a Senior level as a consultant/Director, having delivered complex change within the sector
• The ability to lead complex, multi‑stakeholder programmes with clarity and impact
• A commercial mindset that drives sustainable growth and spots opportunities and value-add
• A commitment to developing others and fostering a high‑performance culture
• This is a role for someone who wants to influence system‑wide change, build something that lasts, and be part of a consultancy that is ambitious, values‑driven and deeply connected to the sector it serves.
• You will have extensive experience of working with Local Government organisations, either from within the sector or in a consulting capacity, and be recognised for helping leaders navigate complex transformation, improvement and organisational change.

We aim to provide feedback post-screening call and interview within 3 working days.

If you want to make a meaningful impact and help shape the next chapter of Newtrality, we’d love to talk. Closing date for applications is 22nd June.

At Newtrality, we’re a scaling change and transformation consultancy, focused on delivering meaningful change within Local Authorities and the wider public sector. We bring practical, lived experience and deep expertise – the kind that other consultancies often fail to provide. It’s what sets us apart in the sector.

As we grow, our people are the vehicle for our success. We work with the best experts in the field, thrive in ambiguity, and deliver bespoke, high-impact solutions for every client we partner with.

Our work spans a wide range of transformation and improvement programmes. We have broad capabilities and deep sector experience, supporting clients through:

• Local Government Reorganisation programmes
• ERP implementations
• Programme recovery and strategic transformations
• Strategy formulation and target operating model design
• Organisation-wide and service-driven change and policy initiatives

Our mission is simple: to be the go-to, partner of choice for local government, known for our successful delivery, innovation, integrity, and the tangible impact of our work.

We take a hybrid working approach, balancing flexibility with connection. While much of our work can be done wherever you are based in the UK, travel to client sites (typically 1-2 days per week) is part of what keeps us connected and effective.
