Amentum is a global leader in engineering, project and programme management, and solutions integration. Built on strong programme and engineering delivery experience, supported by deep specialist capabilities, Amentum is a recognised partner across major UK Government and commercial programmes.
Our Defence & Security business supports the UK Ministry of Defence in delivering their capability and objectives across land, sea, air, and corporate domains. The work contributes directly to national and international security, and our teams take pride in the meaningful impact of what they do. The framework allows our employees to work across a wide range of innovative programmes, providing opportunities to grow their skills and experience. Our support structures ensure employee wellbeing, professional development, and career progression are prioritised.
People are at the centre of what we do. We offer a competitive package designed to attract and retain talent. In addition to standard benefits, UK employees receive free single medical cover, digital GP services, enhanced family-friendly policies, employee assistance programmes, and reimbursement for professional development. Our community initiatives include matched-funding schemes, paid volunteering, and charitable contributions.
This is not a typical consultancy role; we are seeking someone who enjoys working collaboratively with technical and military colleagues to deliver practical, effective business solutions. The role also supports the development of a growing strategic consulting capability within Amentum and helps build our enterprise design and transformation knowledge base.

You will act as a supportive and informed advisor to senior clients, offering guidance that helps shape their thinking and supports positive outcomes.
Leading and guiding teams through structured analysis and problem‑solving, including shaping problems, applying analytical techniques, synthesising findings, and identifying practical implications for clients.
Building trusted, positive relationships with clients, supporting business development activities, and contributing to knowledge-sharing and capability development within the organisation.
Supporting project delivery through effective planning, task coordination, clear communication, and coaching team members to grow their skills.
Managing client engagement with confidence and clarity, including developing networks, presenting to senior audiences, and collaborating closely with clients on a day-to-day basis.
Communicating issues and solutions clearly and accessibly, both in written and verbal formats, in formal and informal settings.
Facilitating collaborative sessions to develop:

Organisational change management (e.g., APMG, Prosci)
Strategy and operations, including business or management qualifications (e.g., MBA)
Workforce planning and people capability development
Project or programme management (e.g., APMQ, Agile)

At least 8–10 years’ relevant experience, ideally within strategy, engineering consulting, or similar environments.
Experience working within major programmes or within a Programme Management Office.
Strong understanding of defence, security, nuclear, or space sectors.
Experience leading teams and supporting clients in dynamic and time-sensitive environments.
Ability to apply structured thinking and analytical approaches to complex challenges.
Interest in exploring information, identifying key patterns, and developing clear insights from complex data.
Comfortable taking initiative, learning new skills, and applying existing strengths to new contexts.
Strong communication skills, with confidence presenting to senior stakeholders in a supportive and clear manner.

Our values are grounded in safety, integrity, inclusion, and diversity. People are central to our business, and we aim to create an environment where everyone can thrive. We promote positive mental health and a strong sense of belonging. We welcome colleagues of all backgrounds and aim to ensure diverse voices are represented and included in our work.

We also welcome applications from candidates seeking flexible working or those who may not meet every listed requirement but feel they could be a strong match. If you have feedback or need adjustments during the recruitment process, we are happy to help.
