The Opportunity

We are working with a leading global Data & AI organisation that is expanding its Digital Transformation business across the UK and EMEA.

We are seeking an experienced AI Consulting & Solutioning Lead – Energy & Infrastructure (E&I) to play a pivotal role in developing the organisation’s E&I market proposition, advising senior clients and driving growth across the sector.

This is a senior, client-facing and commercially focused leadership role combining deep Energy & Infrastructure expertise with digital transformation, AI, data and technology consulting.

The successful candidate will act as a trusted strategic advisor to senior business and technology stakeholders, helping clients understand where digital, data, AI and automation can create measurable business value.

You will identify and originate opportunities, lead client discovery, shape transformation strategies and solutions, develop commercial propositions and work with multidisciplinary teams to convert opportunities into successful engagements.

What will you be doing?

You will take a leading role in growing the Digital Transformation business across the UK and EMEA, with a particular focus on Energy & Infrastructure. Proven experience working within an advisory practice for a GSI or Strategic Advisory Practice within the E&I space.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Developing and executing the go-to-market strategy for Digital Transformation within the E&I sector.
• Identifying, originating and progressing new consulting and technology opportunities.
• Building trusted relationships with senior business and technology stakeholders.
• Engaging with C-suite executives around digital, AI and technology-led transformation.
• Leading opportunities from initial discovery through solution design, commercial shaping and closure.
• Representing a broad portfolio of AI, data, digital engineering, automation and transformation capabilities.

• Leading digital transformation advisory engagements, including maturity assessments, transformation strategies, target-state blueprints and technology/AI roadmaps.
• Helping clients prioritise transformation initiatives and move from strategy through to implementation.
• Bringing together multidisciplinary teams across consulting, architecture, engineering, data, AI and delivery.
• Developing compelling business cases that demonstrate measurable operational and economic value.
• Researching emerging market opportunities, industry trends and new areas for growth.
• Supporting the development of differentiated E&I propositions and go-to-market offerings.
• Taking ownership of the financial performance of digital transformation engagements, including revenue, margins, budgets and pricing.

The Ideal Candidate

This opportunity would suit a commercially minded consulting leader who combines deep Energy & Infrastructure industry knowledge with strong digital, AI and transformation expertise.

You are likely to have experience within consulting, technology services or an industry environment and will have established credibility with senior stakeholders across the E&I ecosystem.

We are particularly interested in individuals who can demonstrate:

• Significant professional experience within the Energy & Infrastructure sector.
• Strong understanding of E&I business models, operating environments and transformation priorities.
• Experience advising E&I organisations on digital, data, AI and/or technology transformation.
• A strong network and credibility with senior business and technology decision-makers.
• Proven experience originating, shaping and converting complex consulting or technology opportunities.
• Strong understanding of how AI, GenAI, data, automation and digital technologies can improve operational performance and business outcomes.
• Experience leading multidisciplinary teams across consulting, technology, data, AI, architecture and delivery.
• Strong commercial acumen and experience contributing to pipeline development, revenue growth and account expansion.
• The ability to translate complex technology concepts into clear business and economic value.
• Excellent executive communication, influencing and presentation skills.
• A consultative approach to client engagement and relationship development.
• The ability to create and articulate a compelling vision for digital transformation.
• Strong strategic thinking combined with the ability to move from strategy into execution.
• A proactive, entrepreneurial and commercially driven mindset.

What makes this role different?

This is an opportunity to take a market-shaping leadership position rather than simply delivering individual consulting projects.

You will have the opportunity to influence the organisation’s Energy & Infrastructure proposition, go-to-market strategy, client relationships and commercial growth across the UK and EMEA.

The role brings together four key areas:

Industry Leadership – Bring deep E&I knowledge and credibility to senior client conversations.

Strategic Advisory – Help clients define transformation strategies, target states, roadmaps and investment priorities.

AI & Digital Solutioning – Translate business challenges into practical data, AI, automation and digital solutions.

Commercial Leadership – Originate opportunities, build pipeline, shape propositions and own commercial outcomes.

In essence, this is an opportunity for an experienced E&I Strategic Advisory & Digital/AI Transformation Growth Leader to build and scale a significant sector proposition.

Key Success Measures

Success in the role will be measured through:

• Growth and quality of the opportunity pipeline.
• Opportunity progression and conversion.
• Conversion of advisory engagements into implementation.
• Revenue and margin growth.
• Expansion of existing client relationships and creation of new buying centres.
• Growth of digital transformation consulting and implementation opportunities.
• Development of recurring digital, solution and Centre of Excellence opportunities.

Why Join?

You will join a global Data & AI organisation with a significant international footprint and the opportunity to work at the forefront of digital transformation.

The organisation offers:

• Competitive salary and generous bonus opportunity.
