Overview

I’m currently partnering with one of the UK’s fastest-growing management consultancies to hire an exceptional Client Director with deep experience in the utilities and energy sector.

This is a brilliant opportunity to join an award-winning firm that’s transforming the utilities industry — working with some of the most recognised organisations across energy, water, infrastructure, and private equity.

The consultancy is known for its collaborative, entrepreneurial culture and its commitment to delivering real impact. They’ve been recognised by the Financial Times as one of the UK’s Leading Management Consultancies, featured in The Sunday Times Hundred fastest-growing private companies, and hold multiple Great Place to Work awards.

If you’re motivated by meaningful work, thrive on building trusted relationships, and enjoy leading high-performing teams, this could be the perfect next step.

The Role

The Client Director will play a pivotal role in driving growth, shaping strategic engagements, and leading consulting teams to deliver exceptional results. You’ll work closely with senior leaders across the utilities sector — identifying opportunities, solving complex challenges, and helping shape the future of the industry.

• Build and develop strong relationships at senior and C-suite level, becoming a trusted advisor and thought leader.
• Identify, create, and secure new business opportunities through your network and sector expertise.
• Lead and inspire consulting teams, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, practical solutions that achieve measurable impact.
• Shape and oversee complex transformation programmes that deliver sustainable change.
• Represent the firm across industry events, conferences, and thought leadership platforms.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in a senior consulting role within the utilities or energy sector.
• A strong track record of winning, shaping, and delivering consulting engagements.
• Well-connected within the industry, with an established senior-level network.
• Exceptional stakeholder management skills and commercial acumen.
• A natural leader who inspires, empowers, and delivers through teams.
• Deep sector knowledge with a desire to keep learning and innovating.
• Experience operating at C-suite level, with credibility and confidence.

A degree isn’t essential — what matters most is your experience, insight, and impact.

What’s on Offer

• Additional leave for long service (up to +5 extra days)
• Private medical insurance (for you, your partner, and dependants)
• Comprehensive wellbeing and personal development support
• Pension and EV salary sacrifice schemes
• A flexible, supportive culture built on trust, freedom, and fun

If you’re an experienced consulting leader who thrives on delivering transformation and building lasting partnerships in the utilities and energy sector, do apply or send me an email at carolina@tarkatalent.co.uk.
