About the Role
Mace combines construction expertise with consultancy to unlock potential in every person or project and redefine the boundaries of ambition. Join our expanding Mace Advisory Centre of Excellence within Mace Consult, where our team delivers strategic advisory commissions for property and infrastructure clients globally. We are seeking candidates with strong advisory experience and particular depth in benefits management for major programmes and capital projects, ideally gained within consultancy or relevant commissions.

This role supports clients to identify and agree benefits early and implement governance, plans, and frameworks to realise and track those benefits over time. Key responsibilities include developing benefits management frameworks and realisation approaches, leading benefits identification and profiling, defining benefit owners, targets, measures, baselines, dependencies, and delivery timelines through engagement with client leadership and stakeholders.

You will integrate benefits management into business case development, programme controls, reporting, risk management, and investment decision-making. You will also support clients through all stages of benefits realisation planning and delivery.

Additional experience in adjacent areas such as organisation design, capital planning, feasibility studies, economic and financial modelling, change management, commercial advisory, and project controls is advantageous.

As part of your role, you will direct benefits management commissions, manage workshops and stakeholder engagement, develop benefits strategies and plans, design governance and assurance arrangements, and communicate complex topics clearly. You will also contribute to thought leadership and support team development within Mace Consult.
