Senior Transformation Strategist

TechTree; Greater London; Hybrid; GBP 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

TechTree in London is seeking a Senior Transformation Strategist to sit with executives and front-line teams, sizing opportunities and turning data into a pragmatic roadmap that our AI-enabled platform can deliver against.

You will own critical client conversations, drive real process changes on the ground, and expand engagements by turning initial workflows into scalable next steps.

Qualifications

• Top-tier consulting training, ideally entering at analyst or post-MBA associate level, with two or more years at Engagement Manager, Project Leader or Principal level where you owned a workstream and faced the client without a partner in the room.
• Short, high-stakes problem-solving cycles: due diligence, value creation, portfolio operations or performance improvement work where you owned a number in revenue, margin, cost or working capital.
• Top-down communication: you lead with the point, support it with structure, and can do mental maths under time pressure.
• Range across problem types: you've solved more than one shape of problem (e.g. strategy and operations, diligence and delivery, or building something from zero).
• A builder's streak: something you've built outside work with a URL, a product with users, a startup or an operating role. You use AI tools daily and can explain why you choose one model over another.
• Comfort with ambiguity: you're energised by a Series A environment with no fixed playbook.
• Bonus: retail, grocery or CPG exposure (category, trading, merchandising, supply chain), or PE-backed portfolio work. P&L ownership is not required; having sat with the people who do the work matters more.

Responsibilities

• Find and size opportunities: work through real operational data (spend, invoices, rate cards, SKUs) to build a baseline, make your assumptions explicit, and land on a number a CFO would forward.
• Decide what's worth building: rank the next workflows by size, frequency and capturable value before asking whether we can build them.
• Own the executive relationship: be the direct counterpart to COOs, CFOs and operations leaders, run the follow-on conversations yourself, and tell clients what they need to hear even when it's uncomfortable.
• Drive adoption on the ground: spend real time with frontline teams so the change actually lands, and earn credibility with the people whose work is changing.
• Expand the account: turn a first proven workflow into the next five, and the next phase of the engagement.
• Shape the function: we're early, so you'll help define how this work is done here.

Job description

Enterprise teams in retail and consumer goods still spend their days copying data between systems, chasing work through email and legacy UIs, and reconciling the gaps by hand. We're building the AI operations platform that finishes that work: AI agents that execute end-to-end processes across UIs and APIs, with governance built in.

We're a Series A company of around 70 people, freshly funded and expanding from Europe into the US. Our customers are large enterprise retailers and CPG brands, and the work we do with them shows up on the P&L.

The role

As a Senior Transformation Strategist, you sit with a customer's executives and the people who actually do the work, find where value is trapped, size it, and turn it into a roadmap our platform delivers against. Think of it as consulting with a product behind you and a number at the end of every cycle.

This is a hands-on, individual-contributor seat. You'll structure messy problems fast, commit to a number with incomplete data, and tell a VP or COO what to do next, then do it again on the next workflow.

What you'll do

Find and size the opportunity: work through real operational data (spend, invoices, rate cards, SKUs) to build a baseline, make your assumptions explicit, and land on a number a CFO would forward.

Decide what's worth building: rank the next workflows by size, frequency and capturable value before asking whether we can build them.

Own the executive relationship: be the direct counterpart to COOs, CFOs and operations leaders, run the follow-on conversations yourself, and tell clients what they need to hear even when it's uncomfortable.

Drive adoption on the ground: spend real time with frontline teams so the change actually lands, and earn credibility with the people whose work is changing.

Expand the account: turn a first proven workflow into the next five, and the next phase of the engagement.

Shape the function: we're early, so you'll help define how this work is done here.

What you bring

Top-tier consulting training, ideally entering at analyst or post-MBA associate level, with two or more years at Engagement Manager, Project Leader or Principal level where you owned a workstream and faced the client without a partner in the room.

Short, high-stakes problem-solving cycles: due diligence, value creation, portfolio operations or performance improvement work where you owned a number in revenue, margin, cost or working capital.

Top-down communication: you lead with the point, support it with structure, and can do mental maths under time pressure.

Range across problem types: you've solved more than one shape of problem (e.g. strategy and operations, diligence and delivery, or building something from zero).

A builder's streak: something you've built outside work with a URL, a product with users, a startup or an operating role. You use AI tools daily and can explain why you choose one model over another.

Comfort with ambiguity: you're energised by a Series A environment with no fixed playbook.

Bonus: retail, grocery or CPG exposure (category, trading, merchandising, supply chain), or PE-backed portfolio work. P&L ownership is not required; having sat with the people who do the work matters more.

Logistics & what we offer

Location: London. Expect three to four days a week on client site.

Real enterprise customers whose feedback drives what gets built next.

Unlimited AI budget and a team that values ownership, pace and candour.

How we hire

Intro call with our recruitment team.

Live case (1 hour, no prep): a real operational engagement with messy data. You'll be asked to structure the problem, do the maths live and close with a recommendation to an operations executive. Expect a meaningful quantitative component.

Competency conversation (60-75 min, two interviewers): change and adoption, business-value discipline, executive communication, judgment and AI-native working.

Founder conversation where relevant.

We aim to move from first contact to offer within about 25 days.
