Position: Senior Consultant, Supply Chain
Location: London
Salary: £68,000
Assignment Timescale: 4 weeks
Result: Completed
Context
Global supply chain volatility has accelerated the demand for resilient, digital-led planning frameworks. Organisations are increasingly transitioning toward integrated operating models, leveraging platforms such as SAP IBP and Coupa to enhance visibility. To execute these complex programmes, consultancies require specialist talent capable of bridging the gap between strategic design and operational execution.
Challenge
Our client, a leading global technology and management consultancy, sought to strengthen its Supply Chain & Operations practice. The mandate required an individual with a rare hybrid pedigree: Tier 1 consulting experience coupled with deep hands-on industry expertise in supply planning and digital transformation. Finding candidates who possess both the rigour of a Big Four firm and practical experience in large-scale retail or e-commerce environments proved challenging through traditional channels.
Solution
Consulting Point leveraged its extensive network within the strategy and operations ecosystem to identify a high-performing Senior Consultant from a Big Four firm. This individual brought a wealth of experience in global S2P and S&OP implementations, complemented by a background in supply chain planning for a major global e-commerce organisation. Holding a high-calibre degree from a leading university, the candidate demonstrated a proven track record in value creation and cost optimisation across diverse sectors.
Outcome
The candidate showed exceptional alignment with the client’s growth strategy, and the firm utilised Consulting Point’s market intelligence to structure a competitive offer. We successfully managed the closing process, ensuring alignment on role positioning and compensation. The placement immediately bolsters the client’s delivery capability in high-stakes digital supply chain transformations.
