Consulting Partners are senior members of the NCL consulting team who focus on developing a portfolio of allocated clients, projects or geographic regions. Time is split between incentivised business development and fee-earning client work.
Core responsibilities
- Originate, develop and maintain client or project opportunities that fit NCL’s services, sectors and margin expectations.
- Own the allocated client or project relationship and keep an active, credible pipeline.
- Support bids, proposals, pricing, scoping and commercial review.
- Oversee delivery quality and client satisfaction for allocated work in partnership with service delivery.
- Represent NCL externally through relationships, market engagement and subject-matter credibility.
- Build repeat revenue and avoid over-dependence on the partner’s own personal delivery.
- Share market intelligence, relationship context and lessons learned with the wider partner group.
Person specification

- Able to collaborate with service delivery rather than treating an allocated portfolio as a private book.
- Client-centred and delivery-aware, with enough credibility to support quality conversations.
- Motivated by building a broader NCL platform as well as individual earnings.
