Senior Consultant (Aviation)

We are partnering with a growing boutique consultancy specialising in aviation, that is looking to hire a Senior Consultant.

This is an opportunity to join a small, entrepreneurial consultancy working on complex operational and transformation programmes across the transport sector. The business has a distinctive delivery model, combining experienced industry operators and subject matter experts with consultants, who provide the structure, project leadership and problem solving around their expertise.

Typical responsibilities include:

• Leading and coordinating client projects.
• Managing senior stakeholders and client relationships.
• Structuring projects, workshops and meetings.
• Coordinating specialist SMEs and project teams.
• Solving complex and ambiguous business problems.
• Producing polished, executive-level presentations and deliverables.
• Translating technical and operational expertise into clear recommendations.
• Supporting PMO, project and programme delivery.

Projects cover areas including operational readiness, operating model, customer experience and aviation operations, stakeholder engagement and wider transformation.

We are interested in speaking with consultants at different levels of experience who can demonstrate:

• Strong consulting or consulting-led transformation experience.
• Excellent project management and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Confidence operating directly with clients.
• Experience with projects in the aviation/transport industry.
• Strong PowerPoint, visualisation and written communication skills.
• The ability to bring structure and clarity to ambiguous problems.
• An entrepreneurial mindset and interest in helping grow a business.

Although aviation/transport experience is required, you do not need to be the technical industry expert. The consultancy works with experienced operators and SMEs, with consultants responsible for bringing together the expertise, structuring the engagement and ensuring high-quality delivery.

The environment is deliberately different from a traditional large consultancy. There is limited hierarchy and significant autonomy. Progression is driven by performance and business growth rather than rigid promotion cycles.

The team works predominantly remotely, typically coming together around two days per week on client site.
