About the Role

As a Senior Data Strategy Consultant, you’ll work as part of a multi‑disciplinary team to help clients make the most of their data assets. You’ll play a key role in supporting the design and delivery of data strategies, governance frameworks, and quality initiatives that align with business goals and enable advanced analytics, AI, and digital transformation.

This is a hands‑on, client‑facing role with a balance of strategic thinking and practical delivery – ideal for professionals looking to take the next step in their data career within a consulting environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Support Data Governance & Strategy Projects: Assist in the development and rollout of data governance models, data ethics frameworks, and metadata strategies tailored to client needs.

• Enable Data Transformation: Contribute to larger transformation programmes where data management plays a central role – from concept to implementation.

• Drive Innovation: Support the exploration of new technologies, tools, and methods that can enhance data strategy, including automation and AI‑led governance solutions.

• Upskilling & Education: Assist in delivering workshops and training sessions to improve client understanding of data governance, management, and emerging trends.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 2–5 years of experience in data management, data strategy, or information governance – ideally in a consulting, advisory, or client‑facing environment.

• Working knowledge of key data management concepts, including data quality, data lineage, cataloguing, and metadata management.

• Exposure to enterprise data tools such as Informatica, Collibra, or similar platforms is a plus.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to clearly explain technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders.

• Comfortable working in agile and fast‑paced environments.

• A proactive, curious mindset with a desire to grow within the data and AI consulting space.

Why Join?

• Join a highly respected consultancy that delivers meaningful, data‑led change for global clients.

• Be part of a supportive, innovation‑driven team where learning and development are a priority.

• Benefit from flexible, hybrid working and a culture that supports wellbeing, inclusion, and career growth.

• Gain exposure to a wide variety of industries including financial services, retail, public sector, energy, and more.

• Take advantage of structured training, mentoring and certification opportunities in data strategy, tooling, and frameworks.
