Our Major Programmes Business
Deloitte’s Major Programmes practice (part of the wider Human Capital offering) is currently recruiting individuals with industry and technical skills that can strengthen our capability to address complex programme challenges and create conditions for success for the world’s most impactful programmes.
Over the last 50 years, the world has changed significantly, but the approach to tackling these increasingly cross-cutting, capital-intensive, and technologically complex programmes has not evolved at the same pace. Our clients look to us and our deep and broad programme delivery expertise to lead them through complex transformations and implement new and effective ways to deliver major programmes.
Our market-leading next generation delivery approach, Programme Aerodynamics, replaces siloed, conventional, linear thinking with multi-disciplinary capability to help our clients deliver their most critical and demanding programmes while reinforcing Deloitte’s commitment to purpose-led change. Programme Aerodynamics is a fundamentally new approach, bringing together mindsets, expertise, methodologies, and solutions from Strategy, Programme Delivery, Digital, Programme Leadership, and Human Centred Transformation to be anticipated, shape, and manage change in major programmes. It empowers project leaders to effectively anticipate and manage change, risk, and uncertainty across a programme’s lifecycle, shaping its success. Our practice comprises a blend of those who have worked previously in industry (in both technical and non-technical roles) and those who have prior consulting experience. The strength and value Major Programmes bring to our clients and to Deloitte is a result of our collectively diverse and highly relevant industry insights and experience; the complexity of challenges our clients face requires us to leverage this diverse range of skillsets and experiences.
You will have the opportunity to work across a range of programmes, building your skills and experience on the job, as well as being supported by our world-class professional development approach. You will also experience the breadth of what Deloitte offers, working with colleagues across a range of disciplines and drawing on our market-leading methods, and our global assets and tools.
Private Sector
Our people are high-calibre professionals, experts in their industry sectors, who are passionate about making an impact as clients adapt to challenges such as driving strategic outcomes from complex technology-led transformations, and unlocking the benefits of AI. We work across industries with a particular focus on four sectors:
Technology, Media and Telecommunications: ranging from global social media brands, broadcast media, and telcos
Consumer: ranging from automotives to consumer goods and retail companies as well as travel, hospitality, and services
Healthcare & Life Sciences: from global pharmaceutical organisations to MedTech startups, where we help organisations transform their operations to succeed against a radically changing backdrop of the future of health
Energy, Resources & Industrials: where we work with the largest companies in manufacturing and energy, particularly in their transformation to a low-carbon future.

Personal independence
Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints (e.g., in relation to any financial interests and employment relationships). This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm). The recruitment team will provide further details as you progress through the recruitment process, or you can contact the Independence team upon request.
