Make an Impact at RSM UK

At RSM, our consulting team brings together diverse advisory experts to deliver our six core solutions: business transformation, forensic, deal services, restructuring, finance function support, and risk and governance.

Our solutions are designed to address the unique needs, challenges, and opportunities our clients face as they strive to achieve their aspirations and organisational goals. Whether it’s supporting global expansion, devel

oping acquisition strategies, facilitating private equity investments, or collaborating with boards to manage risk and governance, our consulting experts work as one cohesive team. We prioritise simplicity, providing data-driven insights, value-added assurance, and high-quality execution to empower our clients in building sustainable, future-fit businesses.

It’s an exciting time to join our consulting team whether in supporting internal project delivery or client-facing engagements, as we embark on ambitious growth plans that promise to create diverse career opportunities. We are committed to enhancing our six solutions, expanding and developing our team of expert consultants, embracing a digital-first approach, strengthening our global presence, and building strong client relationships.

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced individual to join either our:

• Operations, Programme and Change Management team within our growing Business Transformation Consulting practice, or
• Consulting Service Line team that supports our six core solutions driving forward internal project delivery
  
  
  

Change happens in every organisation – new operating models, systems, new structures, new ways of working. But while most transformations start with the right intentions, many don’t achieve the impact that was expected. That’s rarely because of the solution itself – it’s usually because the change hasn’t been shaped, planned, or managed effectively, and people aren’t properly supported through it.

You will make an impact by:

As part of either team, you will be working closely with clients, and it is critical that you establish trust and credibility quickly to build effective relationships.

You must be a team player, have a ‘can do’ attitude and understand that the best solutions come from collaboration and exchange of ideas.

You will be a problem solver, creative thinker, and self-starter, who is organised, proactive and inquisitive. You will have supported the delivery of transformation projects and be able to demonstrate the value delivered to organisations with which you’ve worked. You should be comfortable juggling multiple deadlines and competing priorities in a face paced environment.

What we are looking for:

Are you someone who thrives on variety, loves learning new things, and enjoys connecting with people? If you can spot inefficiencies in everyday life and are passionate about making improvements, this role is perfect for you!

We value diverse experiences and perspectives. Here’s what we’re looking for in our ideal candidate:

• Experience working within a professional services or consulting environment, supporting multiple projects or workstreams

Experience building effective working relationships with clients and internal teams, under senior guidance

Team-oriented, able to work both collaboratively and independently, including in virtual teams

Proactive, organised, and self-motivated, with strong attention to detail

High proficiency in MS Office (e.g. Excel, PowerPoint)

Demonstrate and operate in line with RSM’s core values of excellence, teamwork, integrity, respect, and stewardship

Experience of coaching more junior team members

Desirable

• Experience of different methodologies (e.g. Lean Six Sigma, Agile, Waterfall, Hybrid etc.)
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with the capability to interpret data, identify trends, and recommend improvements.
  
  
  

What we can offer you:

We recognise that our people are our most important assets. That’s why we offer a flexible reward and benefits package that will help you have fulfilling experience, both in and out of work.

• Hybrid working
• 26 Days Holiday (with the option of purchasing additional days)

Lifestyle, Health, and Wellbeing including financial wellbeing benefits such as financial tools, electric car scheme and access to a virtual GP
