For this role you’ll need to be comfortable operating ‘in the grey’ and enjoy helping clients to identify, explore, develop, and implement OD solutions that align with our vision and goals.

You’ll also be:
- A professional who can evidence significant experience of consulting with and facilitating senior and operational stakeholders to help them achieve positive change.
- Confident in using OD tools and methodologies to provide structure and rigour to your work.
- Able to quickly build high levels of trust and credibility with clients.
