We believe our work should always leave a legacy for the client. We do this through close relationships with our offices (aka ‘Clubs’) so that our partners are always prioritised by a regional team close to them.

This unique model has driven success for our clients and ourselves, evidenced by our remarkable organic growth since 2014. Today we number more than 1,300 people with Clubs all over the UK and Europe and the US, with plans to continue global expansion.

Join us - and help us fulfil our mission to close the world’s digital skills gap.

Solution Director – Data & AI:

As a Solution Director, you play a critical role in growing our client accounts by shaping complex transformation opportunities into executable solutions. Working closely with Client Partners and Client Services Directors, you act as a trusted advisor to senior client stakeholders (CIO, CDO, CTO, CPO) and lead the co-creation of solution architectures, delivery models and roadmaps that address their most important business challenges.

You operate at the intersection of strategy, technology and commercial delivery, translating client ambitions into clear, scalable solutions that our teams can build and operate. By collaborating with clients to design the architecture, team structure and delivery approach early in the opportunity lifecycle, you help move engagements from early exploration to confident proposal and commitment.

A key part of the role is enabling account growth: identifying where our capabilities can unlock value for clients, shaping opportunities aligned with our propositions, and ensuring there are no surprises at proposal stage by validating the technical and delivery approach together with the client.

In this role you combine deep technical expertise, commercial awareness and strong client influence to design solutions that deliver measurable business outcomes while building long-term strategic partnerships.

What You’ll Do:

1. Lead our propositions and Practice IP

• Be a visible leader in the Data community; driving consistency, quality, and innovation.
• Develop training and mentoring to grow internal capability.

2. Engage with clients

• Act as a trusted advisor to C-suite stakeholders (CTO/CDO/CPO).
• Build relationships that uncover client challenges and opportunities.
• • Show the art of the possible in Data & AI, connecting innovation to measurable outcomes.

3. Shape solutions

• Translate complex business needs into compelling, value-driven Data & AI solutions.
• Guide teams to deliver against vision and ensure robust, outcome-focused delivery.
• Support business case development and pre-sales.

4. Drive growth

• Identify, qualify, and shape new opportunities across AND.
• Partner with Client Teams to develop deals, coach others, and influence outcomes.
• Achieve a leveraged revenue impact target of around €1m+.

5. Lead and inspire

• Provide senior oversight, coaching, and technical challenge across engagements.
• Champion excellence and act as a role model for proactive, positive leadership.

What You Bring to the table:

• Deep expertise in data platforms, AI/ML, cloud architectures, and analytics, translating technology into practical, scalable solutions.
• Strategic and commercial mindset, connecting technology choices to business outcomes and growth opportunities.
• Hands-on builder mentality – willing to roll up sleeves, work with engineers and architects, and get “feet in the mud” to move solutions forward.
• Strong problem-solving and solution design capability, navigating ambiguity and turning complex challenges into clear approaches.
• Influential communicator and leader, able to align stakeholders from boardroom to delivery teams and take ownership from concept through execution. Complete fluency in Dutch is required for this role.
