Work with us
Adapta works exclusively with purpose-led organisations, and the work we do is board-level and independent. So we're always interested in hearing from consultants who can operate at that level, whatever our current vacancies:
- People who can shape digital, data and technology strategy — bringing whole-organisation thinking, governance and a prioritised roadmap to decisions that carry long-term financial and operational consequences.
- System selection specialists who know the sector's landscape: CRM and digital engagement platforms, and the finance, grants, HR and payroll systems running the back office — and who understand what makes for a successful implementation.
- Fractional DDaT leaders — people with the credibility to sit alongside a CEO, CFO or board, provide supplier discipline and strategic continuity, and develop the capability of the team around them.
- Consultants who bring organisational improvement, change and better ways of working to every engagement, because no significant system decision succeeds without it.
Experience of working in or with charities, membership bodies, professional institutes, grant-makers, trade unions, or arts, culture and heritage organisations matters to us. It's what allows our advice to be practical and proportionate from day one. We're also completely supplier-independent, and we expect the same discipline from everyone who works with us.
Ways of working with us
- Senior Consultant roles
If you have strong experience of consultancy and/or senior technology leadership across digital, data and technology, and you're used to advising at CEO, COO, CFO and trustee level, we'd love to hear from you. - Associate Consultants
We're always keen to hear from experienced professionals seeking greater flexibility in how and when they work. If you're interested in associate consultant opportunities (not employed roles) and can bring expertise in any of our four service areas, we'd love to talk.
