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 are designed to 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, 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.


Our Business Transformation team is one of six core solution sets within Consulting designed to help businesses transform by improving their operations and supporting them to overcome performance challenges that lead to lasting growth and adaptability (across strategy, technology, finance, innovation, and people). We are guided by good practice principles, and the latest technologies, but never constrained by them. At our core we are critical-thinkers, problem-solvers and visionaries.


Our Operations, Programme and Change Management team sits within our growing Business Transformation Consulting practice and we have an exciting opportunity for an experienced individual to join us.


Change happens in every organisation - new operating models, systems, new structures, new ways of working. But while most transformations start with the right intentions, many don't achieve the impact that was expected. That's rarely because of the solution itself - it's usually because the change hasn't been shaped, planned, or managed effectively, and people aren't properly supported through it.


Our team help clients make change work. We partner with them to design, plan, and deliver transformation programmes that achieve their goals - whether that's implementing a new finance system, integrating an acquisition, redesigning an operating model, or rolling out a new process. We focus on both delivery (making sure the project stays on track) and adoption (making sure people actually change how they work).

You will have delivered and led transformation projects and be able to demonstrate the value delivered to organisations with which you've worked.
