We offer critical insight, rigorous analytical techniques and implementation support to deliver innovative solutions and thought-provoking analyses for our clients.
Today, ICF is a global consulting services company with over 9,000 full- and part-time employees, but we are not your typical consultants.
Working at ICF means applying a passion for meaningful work with intellectual rigor to help solve the leading issues of our day.
We believe in collaboration, mutual respect, open communication, and opportunity for growth.
About the role: We are looking for a Senior Consultant to join our well-established Policy Implementation and Programmes practice (Policy in Action Team).
The practice provides technical assistance, insights, research, networking and other implementation services to EU institutions, particularly the European Commission, as well as organisations in the UK.
Our portfolio in designing and implementing large-scale programmes for the European Commission and UK government is expanding.
To support this growth, we are looking for a Senior Consultant who is able to take forward the policy content and organisational aspects of our work, especially in the field of education and skills policy.
You will join our Policy in Action team which manages a spectrum of programmes, including the EQAVET Network and the European Network of Graduate Tracking, providing expertise and support for European Cooperation in education, training, youth, culture, sport, research and innovation, and mutual learning services on youth unemployment, minimum income, deinstitutionalisation and many other topics.
Your work will be hands-on and varied, ranging from overseeing the preparation of thematic and analytical papers, identifying good practices in European countries and developing content for communication and dissemination purposes, through to supporting practical learning and networking in the form of working groups, workshops, study visits, seminars, etc.
This is grounded in a solid understanding and application of the policy subject-matter, as well as an ability to interact with many stakeholders, such as national ministries, international organisations, non-governmental bodies, and independent experts.
This naturally requires a flair for good writing and communication in a multi-national environment.
You could work across more than one project and be expected to support the management of large programmes and have a leading role in delivering specific activities or strands of work within programmes.
