Bristol, United Kingdom Zellis Full time

**About the role**:
Zellis seeks to appoint a Senior Consultant in the Zellis Management Consulting (Payroll & WFM) team, reporting to Engagement Manager. You will play a critical role in the delivery of management consulting engagements across our three segments - strategic and enterprise, mid-market, and public sector. The role will also include supporting the growth of the Management Consulting division.

You will not have a direct team but instead be part of a virtual team, on an engagement-by-engagement basis, to deliver the outcomes committed to the customer. The types of projects you will be delivering include; strategy development workshops (e.g. payroll strategy and technology strategy); reviewing the internal operations of the clients payroll service, making recommendations for improvements and being part of the team to implement these (e.g. operating model redesign and process redesign); organisation readiness during an implementation (e.g. change management) and BAU improvements (e.g. business case development for new modules and internal efficiencies).

As a Senior Consultant you will be extremely credible with customers, have a strong delivery track record and play a key role in energising and motivating a team who have come together for the specific engagement. You will bring gravitas along with a pragmatic and transformational approach to engaging internal stakeholders, and will act as the voice of the customer internally (in a delivery context).

In this role your key responsibilities will be:

- Supporting market-facing involvement with clients; specifically, to participate in selling and closing engagement bids and initiatives in services.
- Supporting the identification and pulling together of the right project team with the right mix of skills for each engagement and project managing simple projects without the need for a project manager.
- Own the specific parts of the delivery of each project in line with expected outcomes, bringing accountability for customer satisfaction, customer benefits and quality KPI achievement and delivering in line with target margins.
- Leading on post project reviews and implementing lessons learnt in other engagements but also sharing with colleagues.
- Readily embrace new product features and the opportunity this presents to deliver consulting services to customers.

**Skills & experience**:

- Exceptional communication and ability to develop robust and enduring relationships with stakeholders.
- Outstanding interview, investigation, assessment, and presentation skills.
- Strong delivery track record for payroll & WFM consulting engagements.
- Capable of conveying complex concepts in simple terms and of tailoring their presentation delivery style to suit their audience.

**Benefits & culture**:
At Zellis we create market-leading HR & Payroll products and services, to power exceptional employee experiences so that you and your people do better.
