If you’re a Senior Management Consultant looking for a role where you can lead complex programmes and shape how organisations align their people and strategy
, this is the opportunity you could be looking for....

At Korn Ferry, our Consulting business sits firmly in the organisational strategy and human capital space
. We help clients solve their biggest challenges by connecting multiple levers of performance — not in isolation, but as a system.

• Organisational Strategy & Design – defining how organisations are structured, operate, and deliver
• Assessment & Succession – ensuring the right leaders are in place to execute strategy
• Leadership & Professional Development – building capability at every level
• Total Reward – designing reward frameworks that drive behaviour and performance

The difference is how we bring this together —
integrated, insight-led solutions that put people at the centre of transformation
.

As a Principal
, you’ll lead large, multi-workstream consulting engagements — owning delivery end-to-end, partnering with senior stakeholders, and ensuring outcomes that are both commercially successful and genuinely impactful.

You will:

• Lead complex, high-profile programmes with full accountability for delivery, quality, and commercial outcomes
• Act as a trusted advisor to senior clients
  , bringing challenge, clarity, and structure to ambiguous organisational problems
• Bring together Korn Ferry’s full consulting capability
  , designing joined-up solutions across organisational design, leadership, assessment, and reward
• Drive strong programme governance
  , managing risk, dependencies, and delivery momentum
• Own commercials — forecasting, revenue, margin, and scope management
• Lead and develop high-performing, cross-functional teams

This is not about sitting in one solution area or delivering a narrow specialism.

You’ll operate at the heart of Korn Ferry’s organisational consulting model
, helping clients:

• Translate business strategy into people strategy
• Align structure, leadership, and reward to drive performance
• Deliver transformation through people-led change, not just process or technology

It’s about seeing the full organisational system and making it work
.

We’re interested in individuals who:

• Are currently operating as a Senior Management Consultant (or equivalent)
• Must be able to demonstrate a track record in delivering people strategy e.g organizational effectiveness, organizational strategy, work & career architecture.
• Have led complex, multi-workstream consulting or professional services engagements
• Are confident engaging and influencing senior stakeholders
• Bring strong commercial ownership and delivery discipline
• Can lead through influence, structure, and clarity
• Enjoy working across broad, strategic organisational challenges rather than a narrow niche

At Korn Ferry, we believe that when you align people, structure, and strategy
, performance follows.

You’ll be joining a firm that:

• Works with leading global and public sector organisations
• Combines deep capability across organisational strategy, talent, leadership, and reward
• Invests heavily in development, learning, and progression
• Offers the opportunity to lead high-impact, large-scale transformation work

If you’re ready to move beyond Senior Management Consultant into a role where you can drive true organisational impact at scale
, we’d love to hear from you.
