Job Description

I am recruiting for an Associate Director (Chief of Staff) Capital Projects for a global consultancy (based anywhere in the UK). The Associate Director (Chef of Staff) will help expand the firms strategic partner capability across major capital projects, programmes and portfolio. This role is ideal for someone with broad exposure across complex programme environments - particularly those who have supported senior leadership in Chief of Staff, Business Manager, or Programme Strategy roles.

The Successful Applicant

There's no one size for this role, but you will likely bring many of the following qualities and experiences:

• Strategic thinker with strong judgement: Able to synthesise information quickly, cut through complexity, and provide clear, reasoned recommendations. You bring a hypothesis led mindset and can hold a strategic conversation at a senior level.
• Broad infrastructure exposure: You've worked across complex project or programme environments, often close to leadership, in consulting, delivery advisory, or internal strategy roles (e.g. PMO, Chief of Staff, Transformation Lead, Business Manager).
• Leadership facing experience: Comfortable operating as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, shaping agendas, supporting decision making, and influencing outcomes without always being the most senior person in the room.
• Highly adaptable and delivery focused: Thrive in ambiguity and fast paced environments. You're comfortable working across topics, adjusting to different client cultures, and moving from framing to execution as needed.
• Exceptional communicator: Able to distil complex ideas into compelling narratives, whether written, verbal or visual. You're confident crafting strategic documents, facilitation materials, or briefings that land with impact.
• Collaborative and low ego: Strong team contributor with the humility to listen and the confidence to lead when needed. You're motivated by shared success and can bring energy and clarity to a team.
• Entrepreneurial spirit: You bring initiative, curiosity, and a desire to build - whether that's refining our offer, growing client relationships, or mentoring colleagues.

What's on Offer

• Competitive salary in the range of £90,000 to £110,000 per annum, depending on experience.
• Permanent position based anywhere in the UK.
• Opportunities to work on high-profile capital projects within the professional services industry.
• Access to a supportive and collaborative work environment.
• Comprehensive benefits package including car allowance and bonus.
