In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, we'll provide the resources, mentorship, and opportunities you need to become a stronger leader faster than you ever thought possible. Your colleagues—at all levels—will invest deeply in your development, just as much as they invest in delivering exceptional results for clients.

What you'll do
As the Senior Delivery Consultant, you will manage workstreams largely independently, with the support of a project manager. As you gain experience, you will gradually assume responsibility for delivering parts of projects yourself.
A key part of your role will be to implement business transformation and digital transformation programmes mainly into the mining, banking or telco sectors, ensuring long term impact delivery. You will lead junior consultants and clients in your project or workstream and successfully hold client meetings and workshops to achieve the project's objectives. In addition, you will grow in a stimulating and human environment where quality of life at work is important.
You will be based in our Johannesburg office as part of Orphoz, working closely and in partnership with client's senior management and their specialist departments.
As a subsidiary of McKinsey & Company, Orphoz offers a unique combination of experience, knowledge, network resources, and flexibility. Within our collaborative community, we deliver business transformation including restructuring, turnaround, post-merger implementation, and more. We realize strategy and execute it with our clients. Orphoz integrates the skills, approach, corporate culture, and resources that lead to the success of complex transformation projects and is ideally positioned to smoothly implement strategies designed by McKinsey & Company.
Orphoz helps our leading private sector clients achieve one of their biggest challenges: making their business transformation plans really happen. Our day-to-day work is to support large companies who need to adapt their operating models to the accelerated changes in their environment by combining agility, sustainable efficiency, and employee engagement. Overall, we exist to deliver a lasting impact to our clients.
With Orphoz, you can expect a uniquely varied and exciting working environment, as well as the opportunity to work with a talented and dynamic growing team. We plan and deliver change projects together with our clients, helping them capture their full potential.

We combine strategic and operational project management with strong execution skills and an understanding of the specific demands of each industry. We measure our success by achieving the goals we set together with our clients.
