Senior Operations Specialist

About Baringa:
We set out to build the world’s most trusted consulting firm – creating lasting impact for clients and pioneering a positive, people-first way of working. We work with everyone from FTSE 100 names to bright new start-ups, in every sector.

You’ll find us collaborating shoulder-to-shoulder with our clients, from the big picture right down to the detail: helping them define their strategy, deliver complex change, spot the right commercial opportunities, manage risk, or bring their purpose and sustainability goals to life. Our clients love how we get to know what makes their organisations tick – slotting seamlessly into their teams and being proudly geeky about solving their challenges. 

We have hubs in Europe, the US, Asia and Australia, and we work all around the world - from a wind farm in Wyoming to a boardroom in Berlin. Find us wherever there's a challenge to be tackled and an impact to be made.


Our Consulting Service Operations team are looking for an experienced Senior Operations Specialist to join the team.

The successful candidate will be part of a wider team of c100 people in CSO, who work globally as a community across our sector teams. Within our Government Sector team, you are at the heart of our Clients & Markets team, approximately a team of 10 people focusing on how we continue to differentiate ourselves in how we go to market.
