Strategy Consultant

Position: Strategy Consultant (Permanent)
We’ve become the UK’s market leader in social value measurement and reporting, and now we’re scaling globally.

Our platform equips organisations across the public, private, and voluntary sectors with intuitive, collaborative tools to measure and maximise social value. At the heart of our work is the evidence-based Social Value TOM System, a gold standard framework that sets us apart.

But we’re more than just technology; we also offer a consultancy division giving our clients the knowledge, insights, and tools to embed social value at every level.

Role Summary

We’re looking for a Consultant or Senior Consultant who enjoys solving complex Social Value challenges and helping organisations turn them into lasting change. This role is about helping clients embed Social Value into their operating models, so it genuinely supports strategic goals rather than sitting on the sidelines as a bolt-on.

You’ll help clients of all sizes and industries move beyond surface-level activity and into real change–combining strategy development, change management and transformation, all through a social impact lens.

Professional–you set your own high standards and demonstrate that you care about every aspect of the job

What We Need:

Advising our clients across private, public and third sectors on strategically incorporating Social Value creation across their organisations

Co-creating simple but effective Social Value strategies with our client and member base–increasingly for larger, multi-territory, more complex organisations

Engaging with clients to understand their needs; what’s getting in the way of their progress and what they can do about it

Working with customers on bid-related programmes such as training, social impact initiative ideation and peer reviewing drafted responses

Facilitating client workshops and conducting a range of stakeholder collaboration exercises

Writing presentations, content and guidance that engages

Supporting business development opportunities alongside the Sales team

What You Will Bring:

A strong track record of consultancy /advisory experience

Strong project management skills

Ability to build relationships with senior influencers within large, complex organisations

Ability to work through tasks independently, proactively and meticulously

Good analytical skills, including data literacy

Desirable:

Knowledge of the TOM System framework or other Social Value measurement frameworks

Understanding of social impact evaluation methodologies and experience of delivering assessments.
