Overview

Description Allied Talent Partners (ATP), a Three Cairns Group initiative, is a mission-driven, not-for-profit talent marketplace focused on solving the human capital bottlenecks slowing down sustainable development efforts in emerging economies, with an initial focus on Africa. ATP connects vetted, experienced, context-relevant professionals to high-impact opportunities in energy access and sustainable development – strengthening local capacity and fuelling economic vitality. We specialize in fixed-term, deliverable-driven engagements – from interim leadership and generalist projects to niche technical expertise – handling project scoping, talent vetting and matching, contracting, payroll, and compliance so that our clients can focus on impact.

Department: Management Consultants

Location: South Africa

The client is a South African management consulting firm that helps institutions deliver meaningful transformation. It primarily serves the public sector, including municipalities and municipal-owned entities, tackling complex service delivery challenges. The firm works in lean, senior-led teams that focus on apprenticeship, capability building, and delivering results in real-world contexts.

The client is replacing a departing consultant and requires a generalist Consultant to join its municipal transformation team. The consultant will independently manage a defined workstream, from diagnostics and business requirements through to implementation support. Immediate assignments include a digital transformation program within a municipal entity, where the consultant will assess maturity, define future-state processes, and support system enablement on a department-by-department basis; and a productivity transformation across eight districts, helping to standardize operating models, processes, and technology.

The role requires strong problem-solving, execution and process management skills, comfort working in the public sector, and the ability to engage directly with client stakeholders. Candidates should bring depth in either digital, strategy, or operating model work, with the flexibility to grow across all three.
