Your part in our mission
The complexity of what the UK Government needs to procure is increasing rapidly. Your purpose is to help our clients make smarter procurement decisions, making sure public funds are spent effectively and compliantly.
Our structure
At Squarcle, we work in a matrix structure designed to support your growth and success. You'll have a
Performance Manager
to guide your career development, an
Engagement Manager
to support your day-to-day project work, and a
Capability Lead
to ensure best practice across tools, people, and processes. This role sits within our
Procurement Capability
, where you'll work closely with
Andrew,
our
Head of Procurement
, and report into one of our Engagement Managers. Your Performance Manager and project assignment will be confirmed once your first engagement is agreed.
This is what you'll be doing
As a Consultant within our Procurement capability you'll be joining us as we build momentum. This means there's room for people to shape how we grow, not just keep up with it. Some of your key day to day activities will include:
* Supporting stakeholder engagement and ensuring the right voices are heard in the work
* Preparing for and contributing to client workshops where problems are explored and solutions take shape
* Carrying out analysis and turning it into clear, well-structured outputs.
* Helping draft options appraisals that give clients the clarity to make confident decisions
* Creating commercial tools, models, and artifacts that are robust, practical, and add real value
* Contributing to client briefings and advice, learning how to balance support with challenge as your consulting skills grow
We'll continue develop and measure your success in the following areas
Each engagement will have a set of deliverables which you will be responsible for. We'll measure your success in the following areas:
* You deliver outputs that are consistently high quality, accurate, and insightful
* You show a genuine drive to learn and continuously improve your craft as a consultant
* You demonstrate professionalism in every interaction, earning trust from clients and colleagues
* You communicate clearly and effectively - tailoring your style to your audience and making complex ideas easy to understand
Where you'll be stretched (and thrive)
* Consulting at pace:
you'll be challenged to balance analysis with action, adapting your approach to different clients and contexts
* Working through ambiguity:
not every brief will be neatly defined, and success will come from creating clarity where none exists
* Stakeholder management:
you'll need to quickly build trust, influence decisions, and bring diverse voices together around a common goal
We think you'll love
* Join a rapidly growing team:
your impact will be visible and your ideas can shape how we grow
* Real opportunities to progress:
as the team scales, so will your career
* Help clients deliver some of the most complex procurements in the country:
making a tangible difference on projects that matter
This isn't just another consulting role. It's a chance to be part of something growing, ambitious, and meaningful.
The skills you'll need to succeed in this role
* Some public sector procurement experience with a real interest in growing your expertise:
you will understand the difference between competitive flexible procedures and an open framework
* Passion for achieving the most advantageous outcome for the public sector
* Exposure to procurement and commercial projects:
you will have supported parts of a project or taken responsibility for specific workstreams
* Hands-on experience:
carrying out analysis, preparing outputs, or engaging with stakeholders, and the drive to build on that foundation
How we'll assess your skills
Our interview process for this role will involve two steps:
Step 1
