The role

Complex challenges require sophisticated solutions. Newton understands that by building our core Operations, Digital & AI and People & Change capabilities, we will have diverse teams in place to deliver the best outcomes for clients.
These first few years look very similar for all consultants and are crucial for building the fundamentals of consulting and the Newton methodology. All our consultants need to possess this core Operations Consultant skillset to thrive regardless of which career pathway you go down while at Newton

On a day-to-day basis, our Operations consultants work hand-in-hand with a variety of clients, mapping processes and analysing data to identify opportunities for operational improvement. They then plan and implement the changes that need to happen to realise value and deliver real, sustainable change.
Working on-site, from the shop floor to the boardroom, and everywhere in between. Once they spot the best chances for improvement, they dive right in – creating and implementing project plans that deliver and continue to do so long after we’ve gone. Every mission and every client is different, but our model of work doesn’t change. Digital and People & Change consultants enjoy a strong foundation in our core methodology and demonstrate all the Operations consulting abilities. They then opt to specialise further as they progress in their career.

Digital

Bright-minded and future-focused, our Digital consultants identify where data and technology can benefit a business. Whether that is using new tech or building our own solutions, Digital consultants bring industry-leading, even industry-changing, solutions to our clients’ challenges.

People & Change

Consulting isn’t a faceless business. At the heart of everything we do, there are people. That’s where our People & Change consultants come in. They’re experts in making the change we bring to our clients come to life. Whether digital, operational or cultural – they work alongside people within our client organisations to manage change before, during and beyond implementation
