Success in this role requires strategic insight, strong leadership, and the ability to build trusted client relationships that ensure seamless and efficient transitions.

Hybrid working: The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

If you are successfully offered this position, you will go through a series of pre-employment checks, including: identity, nationality (single or dual) or immigration status, employment history going back 3 continuous years, and unspent criminal record check (known as Disclosure and Barring Service).

Consulting & Transformation

• Lead complex consulting projects, ensuring delivery excellence, profitability, and client satisfaction.
• Anticipate and mitigate risks using innovative tools and methodologies.
• Drive process improvement through domain expertise and technology-enabled solutions.

• Assess strengths and limitations of technological solutions to foster innovation.
• Represent the organization through conferences, events, and publications.
• Apply cross-domain technology expertise to design optimal solutions.

Leadership & People Development

• Inspire and motivate teams by setting a clear vision, goals, and objectives.
• Champion career development and create pathways for growth.
• Lead recruitment efforts, selecting candidates aligned with organizational needs.
• Encourage innovation and empower individuals to contribute in new ways.
