Job description

Principal Consultant - Technology Transformation

Principal Consultant - Technology Transformation

Get AI-powered advice on this job and more exclusive features.

Our client is a new consultancy founded out of a desire to help companies deliver lasting value from their technology.

They know that technology strategy, transformation and delivery are difficult, but a combination of high-quality people, drive and pragmatism can deliver extraordinary results.

The experience of their consultants covers every aspect of IT, from strategy and architecture through design and delivery to operations and outsourcing. They have built a team that has delivered complex projects across public and private sectors, multiple industries and that thrives on problem solving at the most senior levels of organisations.

What They Do

The company’s core services are grouped across two themes: first - helping to unlock the potential of technology for an organisation; and second - ensuring that existing and new IT is delivering business value.

Unlocking Potential

Technology Strategy / Architecture / Programme Mobilisation

Our client believes that technology done well can change an organisation. Whether through digital transformation, data exploitation, artificial intelligence or collaboration and mobility tools, technology has the power to enhance customer interactions, deliver new insights and optimise the way that organisations work.

Working in partnership with an organisation’s business leaders, our client helps them understand technology options, develop business cases and mobilise delivery programmes.

Delivering Value

Consolidation and Optimisation / Sourcing and Transition / Assurance

Great technology is a business enabler, but all too often organisations struggle under the weight of legacy IT. BAU costs can become disproportionate to the value delivered, CIOs find themselves unable to respond to new business needs at the required pace and IT delivery programmes battle to complete.

Our client helps organisations to optimise their IT landscape. They provide assistance from inception to completion of an initiative or provide a more targeted intervention when needed.

They also provide assurance services for in-flight programmes and projects, giving an independent assessment and helping delivery to get back on track when required.

What’s in it for you?

• Exponential opportunity for growth as you would be joining a newly formed and growing consultancy.
• Clear path to equity ownership in the business.
• Opportunity to work closely alongside highly-respected individuals within the industry.
• No big corporate politics / layers that you would experience within most management consultancies.
• The opportunity to work with on complex and impactful technology challenges across a well-established and growing portfolio of clients.
• Unique opportunity to help shape the role and the company.

Skills Summary

• 8-12 years’ experience within a management/IT consulting environment.
• Good technical experience: the ideal candidate would possess a breadth of knowledge across corporate IT infrastructure, and still be actively involved/interested in technology
• The ideal candidate should have knowledge of one or more of the following areas:
• International corporate networks
• End-user compute within corporate environments
• Public cloud
• Big data, visualisation and/or analytics
• Additionally, the ideal candidate may possess knowledge of software engineering / development lifecycle and methodologies. However, our focus is more on infrastructure than software.
• Leadership experience – project and programme management experience
• Client lead experience – experience of being consulting lead at a client
• Exposure to the full delivery lifecycle, from early stage (business case development, project initiation) through delivery and onto close-out, transition to operations and benefits realisation.
• Experience working at multiple clients / on a variety of projects.
• Experience working with more junior consultants, with a willingness to help with their professional development
• The ability to produce written work to a high standard, and be comfortable with writing deliverable documents in Word, building useful Excel models (e.g. business case or other financial/delivery related spreadsheets) and producing ‘consulting’ PowerPoint.
• Experience with consulting sales processes, ideally with:
• successful sell-on roles at a client
• Commercial awareness of the consulting model.
• A developing personal network and recognition its value

Personal Attributes

• Ability to get up to speed quickly at new clients and in new situations.
• Confident, engaging, and able to influence.
• Practical, proactive and willing to roll their sleeves up.
• Strong leadership skills
• Good organisational skills.
• Sense of fun and adventure.
• Ability to manage client and internal work in parallel

Aspirations

We want to hire someone who:

• Wants to continue to be involved in the technical aspects of delivery.
• Is keen to learn more in the technology space and broaden their knowledge (rather than go very deep and narrow).
• Wants to continue to develop their programme management/delivery/consulting skills.
• Wants to continue to develop their sales/business development skills
• Is keen to get involved shaping a growing and exciting consultancy company.

This is a unique chance to join a consultancy that values quality over quantity, impact over ego, and long-term growth over short-term gain. You’ll be part of a close-knit team of highly skilled consultants who are passionate about solving meaningful problems and delivering lasting outcomes. If you’re looking for a role where you can be hands-on with complex technology delivery, grow your leadership and consulting capabilities, and help shape the future of a growing business—with a clear path to equity—this could be the opportunity for you.
