JOB DESCRIPTION

LEAVE YOUR MARK ON A BETTER WORLD.

COLLABORATE WITH AMAZING PEOPLE.

MAKE CHANGE HAPPEN.



At North Highland, we believe in doing great things together. With you. With our clients. With a perspective on actions today that shape tomorrow. As the world's most innovative, collaborative consulting group, we've built a space to share ideas like never before. Do you have the skills, passion and commitment to transform industries for the better? Think you can bring your A-game every day? If so, join us. We like big thinkers with action on the brain...



Why North Highland? Every choice you make will give you the opportunity to grow. It's our employee ownership model - with plenty of coaching and personal development opportunities in the mix. For us, training doesn't have an off switch. You'll learn new things, both during and beyond traditional working hours. We want people who strive for the next level, then the next.



At North Highland, you're never a number. Our firm is large enough to scale up, test your mettle and tackle big challenges, but small enough that clients won't lose your face in a crowd. You're recognized individually.



We started as three leaders and a kitchen table. Which means we know expectations are made to be broken. Want to surprise us? Do it. Experiment and stretch yourself. There's room to grow as a budding entrepreneur.

• Strong presentation and facilitation skills to foster discussions and communicate complex topics to large technical audiences and C-Level executives

• An agile skill set that allows you to function in agile teams and coach clients and teammates new to agile delivery models


• A well-articulated sense of purpose and vision for your life and career


• A commitment to a lifetime of learning and growth


• And, of course, we'd expect an undergraduate degree from an accredited college/university

It would also be great to see skills and experience in:
