Senior Consultant

The business

Avencerais a business built to lead in the AI era. 

We work where the stakes are highest and the problems most complex, bringing the imagination, cut-through, execution smarts and adaptive collaborationrequiredto help leaders navigate change in an uncertain world. 

We’reoften described as a consulting business, but that only tells part of the story. Wedon’tdiagnose and disappear, and wedon’trun the old playbooks. We shape the team and approach to the problem at hand and stay close to the work until it delivers. 

That way of working has led to unusually strong, trusting, long-term relationships across central Government, education, healthcare, and enterprise. 

As the work grows, so does the team.We’relooking for people with the imagination to open problems up and see possibilities others miss, the judgement to cut through AI noise, and the execution smarts to make things happen. 

We value ambition — for yourself, for your clients, and for the impact you want to have — without ego. People who succeed atAvenceraare intellectually sharp and able to think deeply,operateconfidently in complex, real-world environments, and do the hard, often unglamorous work that meaningful change requires.
