About Company:

Bridgemead Advisory is a people and performance diagnostics firm that helps founder-led businesses, family enterprises, and organisations unlock sustainable growth by strengthening leadership, governance, organisational effectiveness, and business performance. We work with founders, boards, executive teams, and business leaders to diagnose complex organisational challenges, identify the root causes of underperformance, and design practical solutions that improve organisational health, drive sustainable revenue growth and build resilient organisations positioned for long-term success.

Job Description:

• Bridgemead Advisory is seeking an exceptional Lead Consultant to drive the delivery of high-impact advisory engagements across strategy, organisational transformation, talent, governance and business performance.
• This is not a traditional consulting role.

The ideal candidate has built businesses, led functions, managed complex programmes, implemented enterprise-wide initiatives and understands the realities of execution.
• The successful candidate will combine strategic thinking with practical execution, helping clients move from ideas to measurable outcomes.
• Beyond delivering client engagements, the Lead Consultant will play a critical leadership role within Bridgemead Advisory by developing consultants, strengthening delivery capability, contributing to business development and helping shape the firm's intellectual capital.

• Ensure projects deliver measurable business value within agreed timelines and budgets.
• Provide trusted advisory support to CEOs, Managing Directors, Executive Committees and Boards.

Strategy Implementation

• Support clients beyond strategy development by leading implementation and change management efforts.
• Design governance structures, operating rhythms and accountability mechanisms that ensure successful execution.
• Monitor implementation progress, identify risks and recommend corrective actions.
• Lead enterprise transformation programmes involving people, processes and organisational capability.

Business Development & Practice Growth

• Identify new business opportunities and build strong relationships with existing and prospective clients.
• Lead proposal development, solution design and client presentations.
• Contribute to thought leadership, market insights and service innovation.
• Represent Bridgemead Advisory at client meetings, conferences and industry engagements.
• Support the firm's growth strategy by developing new service offerings and market opportunities.

Leadership & Team Development

• Lead and mentor consultants and analysts.
• Build high-performing multidisciplinary teams capable of delivering complex client engagements.
• Provide coaching, performance feedback and professional development support.
• Foster a culture of excellence, collaboration, accountability and continuous learning.
• Allocate project resources effectively and ensure quality across engagements.

Quality Assurance

• Review consulting deliverables to ensure analytical rigour, practicality and quality.
• Establish and maintain consulting methodologies, frameworks and delivery standards.
• Ensure all client work reflects Bridgemead Advisory's commitment to excellence and measurable impact.

Qualifications and Skills:

• A bachelor's degree in Business, Economics, Engineering, Finance, Management, Social Sciences or a related discipline. A master's degree or MBA is an advantage.
• Minimum of 5–8 years of progressive professional experience.
• Significant hands-on leadership experience within industry, consulting or a combination of both.
• Demonstrated experience leading strategy execution, transformation or organisational improvement initiatives.
• Proven track record of implementing business strategies that delivered measurable organisational outcomes.
