The Strategic Transformation Consultant owns a significant transformation problem or major workstream from opportunity framing through recommendation and mobilization. The role converts ambiguous business challenges into evidence-based decisions, executable interventions, and measurable value by combining structured problem solving, external perspective, rigorous analysis, executive communication, and cross-functional alignment. Working within the Transformation Management Office, the consultant helps internalize consulting capability, reduce dependency on external partners, and transfer reusable methods and knowledge to business teams.

Key Responsibilities

Opportunity Discovery Problem Framing

• Discover and qualify high-value opportunities across growth, margin, cost, customer experience, process, operating model, digital, and AI-enabled transformation
• Frame the executive question, opportunity thesis, hypotheses, scope, decision criteria, and analytical workplan
• Structure ambiguous problems, diagnose root causes, and identify the critical choices required from sponsors

Evidence, Diagnosis Benchmarking

• Integrate operational, financial, customer, process, market, and competitor evidence into a coherent fact base
• Conduct interviews, workshops, research, and external benchmarking to test hypotheses and challenge internal assumptions constructively
• Partner with Strategic Transformation Analysts and functional experts to validate data, identify insights, and assess solution fit

• Shape target-state operating models, initiatives, ownership, KPIs, benefit logic, and practical mobilization roadmaps
• Translate approved direction into executable interventions and support the transition into coordinated delivery

Stakeholder Leadership Capability Transfer

• Facilitate executive workshops and cross-functional working sessions to build alignment, ownership, and decision momentum
• Influence senior stakeholders through constructive challenge, sound judgment, and clear communication
• Transfer reusable methods, models, playbooks, and knowledge so teams can sustain the capability internally

• Strong quantitative, qualitative, written, and verbal communication skills, with experience producing executive-ready outputs

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in a strategy or management consulting environment, internal consulting team, or enterprise Transformation Management Office
• Track record in opportunity discovery, external benchmarking, operating-model design, business cases, value creation, or large-scale transformation
• Commercial and financial fluency, including scenario development, opportunity sizing, and benefits logic
• Digital and AI literacy, including responsible use of AI-enabled research and analysis with disciplined source validation

Key Skills Competencies

• Hypothesis-led problem solving and root-cause diagnosis
