• Design and oversee implementation of conceptual solutions in collaboration with technical experts.
• Create business cases, ROI models, and transformation plans to support client decision-making.
• Produce high-quality documentation, including whitepapers, tools, and frameworks for strategic delivery.
• Support methodology refinement and capture lessons learned from each engagement.

• 3–5 years of experience in IT consulting, strategy, or technology modernisation.
• Relevant academic background or certifications in IT, computing, or related fields.
• Practical knowledge of IT operating models and cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
• Familiarity with virtualisation, containerisation, and networking technologies.
• Hands-on experience with data analytics tools (e.g., Excel, Tableau).
• Expertise in at least two areas: IT strategy, enterprise architecture, automation, service management, or AI/ML.
• Strong facilitation and presentation skills, capable of leading workshops and engaging senior stakeholders.
• Understanding of Agile, Scrum, and DevSecOps practices.

Desirable Certifications and Skills

• Certifications such as ITIL, Prince2, COBIT, or CompTIA Security+.
• Experience with service management and cloud architecture.
• Proven track record of delivering business case analyses, ROI modelling, and TCO assessments.
• Ability to assess and improve IT processes for operational excellence.
