Since 2007, we have provided services globally to over 200 client organisations across energy, defence, government, transport, and health sectors. Our offices span from Glasgow to Sydney, supporting clients across five continents.

We specialise in bridging the gap between strategic planning and operational execution, developing enduring solutions to complex issues faced by our clients. Our expertise includes programme management, systems thinking, investment modelling, machine learning, and data analysis. Our extensive experience in engineering, regulatory practices, and operations delivery enables us to craft sustainable, long-term solutions.

The Role

As a Senior Consultant in our Digital Consulting Practice, you will help shape and deliver complex transformation programmes across Defence and wider government. You will work at the intersection of technology, strategy, and delivery, supporting the adoption of digital capabilities in mission-critical environments, collaborating with stakeholders to drive meaningful change.

Your key responsibilities will include:

1. Strategic Stakeholder Engagement: Build and maintain trusted relationships across technical, operational, and senior leadership levels to support digital transformation.
2. Capability Integration Leadership: Coordinate multi-disciplinary teams, enabling effective integration of people, processes, and technology within secure, high-stakes environments.
3. Translation & Advisory: Act as a bridge between technical delivery teams and user communities, translating complex ideas into practical, mission-driven outcomes.
4. Market Insight & Growth Enablement: Contribute to pipeline growth by identifying new opportunities, shaping client propositions, and supporting bids with insight and credibility.
5. Programme Delivery Influence: Support the delivery of high-impact programmes by aligning frameworks, guiding change, and driving results.

Apply to DAS to work on varied, complex projects in a supportive environment where you can make a tangible impact on UK infrastructure.

• Sector & Cultural Awareness: Understanding of Defence environments, DLODs, and technology adoption in change-resistant cultures.
• Digital Fluency & Integration Mindset: Broad knowledge of ICT and digital solutions, capable of engaging technical and strategic users.
• Consulting & Commercial Acumen: Experience in consulting with strong commercial awareness, supporting client initiatives.
• Stakeholder Management & Communication: Proven ability to influence and communicate with diverse stakeholders.
• Education & Experience: A STEM degree preferred, with 3-5 years' experience in technical or change-focused programmes; Defence or government background is a plus.

If you don't meet all requirements but are talented and solutions-oriented, we encourage you to get in touch. We value military veterans with relevant experience too.

• Attractive salary based on experience
• Private pension, healthcare, dental care
• Death-in-service and income protection
