Management Consultant (Housing & Regeneration team)

Job profile

31ten is looking to grow our local government Housing & Regeneration consulting team. We operate a flat structure reflecting the value we place on each team member’s contribution, so we only have one consulting band which accommodates consultants with a range of experiences and associated reward packages, offering opportunities to grow and develop your business development, client delivery and technical skills from the point you are at right now.

We are interested in hearing from people who have relevant experience and have previously worked for either a management consultancy and/or in the public sector. The key thing for us is your ability to add value to the projects you work on for our clients and finding you a home that fits you within the working culture we are trying to build.

Key areas of focus

We are keen to speak to candidates who are interested in helping us to design and deliver services to local government which:

• Supports the development of ‘places’ through business cases, accessing regional and government funds and targeted project work (e.g. to reinvigorate the high street);
• Delivers effective development management, development viability, programme management and project management;
• Establishes real or virtual funds to support economic growth / recovery and other objectives;
• Generate long term sustainable income streams or one off receipts through better use of assets;
• Identifies opportunities and evaluates options to drive regeneration, develop new housing and support growth ambitions;
• Secures delivery expertise via complex, high value procurement exercises;
• Develops a strategic approach to securing investment by developing and setting up trading companies, joint ventures and partnerships.

The points above reflect our broad-ranging mission, so we don’t expect relevant experience in them all. In fact, our preferred recruits tend to have a focused CV with strong evidence of experience in some but not all areas.
