Connect to your Industry

Are you passionate about leading business transformation for high profile and complex capital programmes?

Do you get excited about land shaping a highly successful and growing Major Programmes business?

If so, Deloitte’s Major Programmes practice could be the place for you!

Our Major Programmes Business

Deloitte’s Major Programmes practice (part of the wider Human Capital offering) is currently recruiting for individuals with industry and technical skills that can help us grow and develop our capabilities.

The world has never before faced such a complex number of environmental, social and economic challenges and a new way of delivering major programmes is needed to respond to these. This market leading transformation approach will challenge conventional thinking around the delivery of major programmes, using a multi-disciplinary capability to help our clients deliver their most critical and demanding issues while reinforcing Deloitte’s commitment to purpose-led change.

Our practice comprises a blend of those who have worked previously in industry (in both technical and non-technical roles) and those who have prior consulting experience. The strength and value Major Programmes bring to our clients and Deloitte is a result of our collectively diverse and highly relevant industry insights and experience; the complexity of challenges our clients face requires us to leverage this diverse range of skillsets and experiences.

You will have the opportunity to work across a range of programmes, building your skills and experience on the job, as well as supported by our world class professional development approach. You will also experience the breadth of what Deloitte offers, working with colleagues across a range of disciplines and drawing on our market leading methods, and our global assets and tools

Major Programmes Communities

Within Major Programmes, you'll be part of the Security & Justice account and play a leadership role in the development of our Justice account, where we have ambition to grow. We are particularly keen to hear from you if you have experience working with the Ministry of Justice. 

 Our work often involves leading the strategic design and delivery of large-scale, technology-enabled change programmes. We achieve this by leveraging innovative digital solutions and modern delivery methodologies. This is evident in the projects we undertake and client challenges we look to solve, bringing together expertise from across Deloitte’s Technology & Transformation offerings. We have strong ties into the digital delivery and engineering practices across the firm, enabling us to work together to deliver end-to-end technology transformation for our clients, from strategy and design through to technical build and implementation.

Our team comprises a blend of those who have worked previously in industry (in both technical and non-technical roles) and those who have prior Consulting experience. Through our experience of delivering complex transformation across these major technology transformations, we understand that the complexity of challenges our clients face requires us to leverage a diverse range of skillsets and experiences to be able to effectively partner and support our clients.

We are looking for people who share these values, as well as a passion for positive change.

Your Sector

We are particularly focused on large-scale transformation programmes, increasingly with an emphasis on programmes that form part of the Government’s Major Project Portfolio and/or have a core digital change component.
