Principal Consultant - ERP specialist
Full-time or Part-time - Bath/Hybrid
We’re Nine Feet Tall … and growing! We can do the same for your career!
We’re a management consultancy that specialises in delivering complex business change, combining the power of people and technology. In the past three years we have sharpened our focus around change management for complex programmes, particularly helping and guiding clients with Project and Portfolio Management and increasingly supporting major clients with their complex ERP transformations. We have created significant value in this area for our clients, across a range of industry sectors. We take the pain out of change and help the transition to new ways of working.
Whilst our projects are often complex, our approach is simple and we use our experience and core values to guide our decision making – acting with integrity and doing the right thing, always striving for excellence, and delivering with real passion and commitment.
As a consultancy we offer something tangibly different to our larger competitors. Our clients aren’t just a number – their positive experience of working with Nine Feet Tall is paramount and we strive to build long lasting partnerships.
About You
Your career to date will have given you a solid background in leading business or IT transformation projects or managing change.
You’ll already know that you’re a highly competent Project Manager, Change Manager or Business Analyst within the ERP implementation space. You may be working in a consultancy at the moment and you’ve hit a ‘glass ceiling’. Or perhaps you have always wondered about the benefits of working in a consulting environment, enjoying the variety of projects and sectors that you can operate in.
More than anything, you’ll be looking to rapidly increase your skills and experience. We’ll work with you to improve your commercial awareness, helping you to feel comfortable in networking with customers, leading and motivating others – and being a problem solver within our business.
The role
At Principal Consultant level, we would expect for you to develop quickly within our business.
When you start, you’ll likely be deployed onto a customer’s site, with our support, to play a key role in helping them to deliver a critical project. This will help you to understand the Nine Feet Tall ways of working and to learn from Consultants who can help you attune to our culture and practices.
You’ll also pick up internal projects, which could touch on any part of our growing business.
The other key aspect to this role is mentoring. We work in a non-hierarchical way, doing away with traditional line management and having mentors in place instead. At Principal level, you’ll work with one or two of our Consultants, providing advice and guidance on their current and future development.
Why apply
Be part of a great, Sunday Times award winning, team!
We deliver all the capabilities of large consultancy with far less jargon and a lot more personality. Our learning and development programme is extensive, meaning that you’ll get to continue your learning whilst passing on your experience at the same time.
As an employer, we’re proud to be flexible and modern and we work hard to help our team find balance in their working and personal lives. That’s why we welcome applications for either full-time or flexible working. This is a hybrid role, with flexibility to combine working from home, travel to client site and time spent at our office in Bath to collaborate and see the team, for training and for our regular Company Days that play a big role in our cohesive team culture.
Remuneration
Competitive salary + twice yearly bonus + generous benefits package
