Senior Business Change Consultant - Ireland
Help Shape Better Public Services. Build a Career That Makes a Difference.
Location: Home-based, with regular travel to client sites across Ireland.
Salary: €66,000 to €75,000 per annum, depending on experience.
At 4OC, we believe transformation should improve lives, not just processes.
For more than 12 years, we have partnered with organisations across local and central government, health, housing, the voluntary sector and organisations delivering public services to deliver meaningful, sustainable change.
Our work helps organisations make better use of public resources while ensuring the people delivering services, and the residents and communities who rely on them remain at the heart of every decision.
Our reputation has been built on delivering practical solutions that create lasting value. We don't believe in producing reports that sit on shelves. We work alongside our clients to design, deliver and embed change that makes a real difference.
As demand for our services continues to grow across Ireland, we are looking for an experienced Senior Business Change Consultant to join our growing team.
This is an exciting opportunity to build your consulting career, work on high-profile transformation programmes and help shape better public services across Ireland.
The Role
As a Senior Business Change Consultant, you will play a key role in delivering transformation and business change programmes that improve services, deliver measurable benefits and create lasting value for our clients.
Working alongside experienced consultants and senior client stakeholders, you will help organisations understand complex challenges, identify opportunities for improvement and design practical solutions that make a real difference.
You will lead projects from discovery through to implementation, combining business analysis, project delivery and change management expertise to help clients achieve meaningful and sustainable outcomes.
This is a home-based role offering flexibility and autonomy, with regular travel to client sites across Ireland. We believe the strongest client relationships are built face-to-face, and you'll be encouraged to spend time with clients to understand their challenges, build trust and demonstrate the value that both you and 4OC bring.
No two days are the same. One week you may be facilitating workshops with senior leaders, the next developing business cases, analysing organisational challenges or supporting the implementation of new ways of working.
As our presence across Ireland continues to grow, you'll have the opportunity to play an important role in expanding our client relationships, building our reputation and contributing to the continued success of 4OC.

Workplace & culture
We operate a flat organisational structure so your progress is never limited by anyone else. We encourage people to find new and interesting ways for their personal and professional development. If you're good enough, you'll progress.
We work hard but we know that working well is much better than working hard. So we try to make sure the office (whether at home, at HQ or on the client site) is set up for you to do the right thing and make it a fun place to be. The CEO even makes us breakfast on a regular basis. He'll tell you all about his top 100 bread recipes if you give him half a chance.
We also have a working group, 'The Imperfect Workplace', that's open to everyone and meets regularly to discuss and progress ideas on making 4OC a great place to work.
