All underpinned by technology created with purpose.

Your role:

As part of the huge growth in demand in our Energy Transition & Utilities practice, we are seeking an experienced senior leader to join our highly talented team, working on the pursuit and delivery of major advisory, consulting and transformation services across our sector.

Our clients within Energy Transition & Utilities include those within the sub-sectors of Energy Networks, Energy Retail, Energy Central Markets, Water and Nuclear.

Driven by major investment in the sector and the unique position of our Capgemini Invent business, we are seeing a significant increase in demand for our services and teams. Our vast utilities experience, strong strategic and business transformation skillset, a deep understanding of digital, data and a highly collaborative approach has allowed us to build a successful track record of delivering leading edge consulting services and solutions for our clients. Our further growth will be fueled by key deals – the significant work that will move the dial for our clients’ business and set the standard for consulting impact in the market.

This role is designed to further expand and strengthen our position in this market. As a Managing Consultant or Senior Manager within our practice you will help set direction, drive forward the business, build senior client relationships, model our values and behaviours and coach and develop junior members of the team. You will combine nuclear sector expertise with strong consulting skills, leading client engagements and supporting the expansion of our client base across the full civil nuclear lifecycle.

Key activities for the role include:

• Working on high-profile projects that enable clients and the UK to deliver a low-carbon, sustainable, and secure energy future.
• Collaborating within a diverse, multi-disciplinary team of experts across digital and data, business operations, customer, digital construction, and practical applications of AI.
• Working closely with clients at all organisational levels, leading experienced delivery teams and workstreams to achieve outcomes such as improved project execution and enhanced operational performance.
• Shaping strategy and driving growth for key deals in our business.
• Leading client engagements across the full delivery lifecycle.
• Building and owning senior client relationships, acting as a trusted advisor.
• Coaching and developing junior team members, modelling our values and behaviours.
• Contributing to business development and thought leadership.
• Proactively identifying and pursuing new business opportunities.

Additionally, you will be expected to contribute to the business and to your own personal growth through activities in the following categories:

• Business Development – Utilising a combination of the organisation’s broader pre-existing relationships, company relationships and your own network
• Internal Contribution – Campaign development, internal think-tanks, whitepapers, practice development (operations, recruitment, team events & activities), offering development
• Learning & Development – Continuous learning and training to support your career development and develop required skills as you progress in your career.

Your profile:

We’d love to meet someone with:

• Experience working in a consulting delivery role; that may include focusing on originating and creating innovative solutions, or delivering workstreams within major programmes, or projects for clients
• Excellent consulting skills, meaning experience of working in a major Consulting firm, and/or in industry but with a Consulting background
• An open flexible mindset with a collegiate approach to solving our clients’ challenges
• Strong commercial and business understanding, with the ability to leverage own network and the organisation’s broader pre-existing relationships, to larger revenues across our business
• Ability to drive improvement initiatives for our clients, drawing on experiences and insights from across the full lifecycle of civil nuclear, and other applicable sectors.
• Proven ability to be successful in a matrixed organisation, and to enlist support and commitment from peers in selling and delivering consulting solutions.

You will bring the following key skills and behaviours:

• You collaborate and communicate well with others, building and maintaining strong networks and working effectively both as a leader and a colleague
• You delegate effectively, ensuring that members of your team are given clear direction and are empowered to drive the desired outcomes
• You thrive in fast-paced, high-performing environments and drive excellence in project delivery, holding yourself to the highest of standards and setting an example for your team
• You constantly demonstrate a proactive ‘growth’ mindset and actively work with leadership to pursue new and existing opportunities
• You are a business and people leader

What you'll love about working here:

You’ll thrive in a collaborative and diverse environment that empowers you to innovate, grow your skills, and make a real impact—whether you’re shaping solutions for clients or driving positive change in society. You will be supported by a culture that values inclusion, continuous learning, and the freedom to bring your authentic self to work every day.
