CACI's Location Intelligence Group provides data, software, and consulting services to help our clients make better location-based decisions.

We help clients make profitable decisions through our understanding of people and place, spatial characteristics, and consumer behaviour. Our clients include retailers, restaurant chains, leisure operators, care homes, charities, automotive manufacturers, and other operators with physical outlets in the UK and overseas.

CACI is recruiting for a Solutions Consultant within the Location Intelligence Group responsible for shaping solutions to clients’ spatial strategy questions.

As the UK’s leading Location Intelligence team, we deliver advanced spatial analysis and insights to major organisations across various sectors and countries. We provide consultancy, cutting-edge software, and the latest data to help our clients optimise their location strategies across physical and digital landscapes.

Projects typically last between a week and six months, including performance analysis, customer insight, network strategy definition, BI & visualization, and advanced AI predictive modelling. We work closely with our clients to understand their objectives, incorporate their feedback, and develop bespoke solutions to meet their business needs.

What you’ll be doing

Joining the Solution Consulting team, you will be part of a dynamic, innovative, and experienced team designing solutions to answer a wide range of strategic questions.

Every client and every day is different. You will use your experience to scope the appropriate analysis, methodology, data, and software for each client. The role is varied, working across sectors and markets in the UK and internationally, always focusing on people and place.

In this role, you will:

• Work with the commercial team to design solutions that meet client objectives
• Shape and scope bespoke solutions tailored to client needs
• Communicate and explain the value of our solutions to clients
• Present to clients and industry events as an expert and thought leader
• Contribute to the development of our solutions and propositions
• Become a trusted advisor helping businesses leverage data effectively

• Skilled at turning complex data into compelling stories
• Pragmatic and creative, able to design solutions within budget and timescale constraints
