Security Cleared (SC) Consultant - Public Sector Transformation

We are seeking SC-cleared consultants to join a high-profile public-sector programme focused on cost optimisation, commercial improvement, and strategic sourcing. This is an opportunity to work within a fast-paced delivery environment, helping organisations identify efficiencies, optimise spend, improve commercial outcomes and deliver measurable value.

Experience in procurement, commercial, sourcing or supply chain environments is beneficial, but consulting capability is significantly more important than sector-specific expertise.
