Job description

Accountabilities:

• Operations Strategy and Value Chain Analysis: Lead the analysis and decomposition of complex, cross-functional business processes, including supply chain, logistics, procurement, and distribution, to identify inefficiencies, structural challenges, and opportunities for operational improvement.
• Client Discovery and Executive Engagement: Independently facilitate workshops, stakeholder interviews, and discovery sessions with senior executives and business leaders, building trusted relationships and guiding strategic discussions.
• Business Requirements Definition: Translate business findings, operational challenges, and transformation opportunities into clear, structured, and actionable requirements for Solutions Architects and Data Engineers.
• Work Stream Leadership: Own and manage one or more project work streams from initial planning through delivery, taking responsibility for client communication, deliverables, progress reporting, risk identification, and issue escalation.
• Current-State and Target-State Architecture: Collaborate with technical teams to document existing business processes and systems, define future-state operating models, and develop transformation architectures aligned with strategic objectives.
• Process Improvement: Apply structured problem-solving methodologies, including Lean Six Sigma, root cause analysis, value stream mapping, and hypothesis-driven analysis, to validate opportunities and recommend sustainable improvements.
• Deliverable Development: Produce high-quality consulting deliverables, including process maps, value chain assessments, business cases, opportunity analyses, and use case definitions to support executive decision-making and investment priorities.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Solutions Architects, Data Engineers, and Program Managers to ensure business requirements are accurately reflected in technical designs and AI-enabled solutions.
• AI-Driven Transformation: Identify opportunities to leverage artificial intelligence, automation, and intelligent workflows to improve operational efficiency and accelerate business transformation.
• Team Mentoring and Development: Support and mentor junior Business Analysts and consultants, helping them strengthen their analytical capabilities, facilitate client sessions, and independently manage deliverables and stakeholder relationships.
• Continuous Improvement: Contribute to the development of consulting methodologies, analytical frameworks, and repeatable approaches that improve delivery quality and accelerate transformation outcomes.

Requirements:

• At least 6 years of management consulting experience within a Big Four firm, tier-two consultancy, or leading boutique consulting organisation.
• Proven experience leading operations strategy, business transformation, process optimisation, or end-to-end value chain transformation engagements, ideally at Senior Manager or Director level.
• Demonstrated ability to independently manage senior executive relationships, facilitate strategic workshops, and influence complex business decisions without requiring constant senior supervision.
• Strong expertise in structured problem-solving methodologies, including Lean Six Sigma, root cause analysis, value stream mapping, and hypothesis-driven problem-solving. Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification or equivalent practical experience is strongly preferred.
• Extensive experience analysing and transforming end-to-end business processes, understanding how decisions across procurement, logistics, distribution, and operations influence overall financial and commercial performance.
• Cross-industry and international consulting experience, with the ability to adapt quickly to unfamiliar business environments and apply best practices across different sectors.
• Experience in supply chain, logistics, energy, healthcare, or other operationally complex industries is a strong advantage.
• Strong technical understanding and the ability to collaborate effectively with technical specialists on data schemas, system integrations, ERP environments, and AI/ML model requirements.
• Ability to translate complex operational challenges into structured business requirements and technical specifications without necessarily having hands-on software development responsibilities.
• Familiarity with AI-powered tools, large language model (LLM) assistants, and agentic workflows, with the ability to incorporate these technologies into research, analysis, and consulting deliverables.
• Comfortable working in an AI-native environment and using technology to improve productivity, analytical quality, and delivery speed.
• Experience working within agile, hypothesis-driven delivery models, with the ability to manage fast-paced project cycles and short transformation engagements, including 12-week programmes.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to lead challenging conversations and communicate complex ideas clearly.
• Strong ownership mentality, strategic thinking, analytical rigour, and the ability to deliver high-quality results independently in a remote environment.
• Adaptability, resilience, and a proactive mindset, with the ability to thrive in a fast-moving environment where precision, autonomy, and accountability are essential.

Benefits:
