The posting

This is a senior consulting leadership role that runs important engagements end-to-end across the full breadth of our work across data platforms, AI and end-to-end software builds, not data alone earning client trust through judgement and delivery, and helping shape and win what comes next.

Requirements

What This Role Actually Involves

  • Owning the strategic direction and value narrative of engagements from discovery through delivery and adoption
  • Building and sustaining strong client relationships through ongoing engagement, credibility, and demonstrated impact
  • Working in close partnership with a Client Principal, who owns the overarching client relationship, while leading the day-to-day direction and execution of engagements
  • Operating as part of a senior engagement leadership triad alongside Technology and Commercial leads
  • Providing senior oversight to Delivery Leads on larger or more complex engagements
  • Maintaining continuous, high-quality dialogue with clients throughout delivery, ensuring alignment, confidence, and momentum
  • Leading executive discovery, alignment, and decision-making workshops
  • Defining, drafting, and presenting strategies, approaches, and recommendations for clients
  • Translating business intent into clear priorities and guidance for technical and delivery teams
  • Actively driving non-technical success factors, including change management, adoption, and stakeholder alignment
  • Contributing actively to pre-sales and sales processes, including understanding client needs, shaping solutions, and supporting the development of compelling proposals
  • Supporting client-shaping conversations that progress opportunities from early signal through to secured engagements
  • Identifying opportunities to grow engagements, expand scope, and shape follow-on work
  • Developing, refining, and part-owning specific go-to-market propositions, offers, and methods, and applying them consistently across client engagements

This is not a delivery management or traditional product role. It is a senior consulting role focused on value, alignment, relationship strength, and sustained impact.

Ideal Candidate Profile

  • Senior consultant, senior manager, or director experience in a consultancy environment
  • Proven leadership of complex engagements across data, AI and end-to-end software builds (not data projects alone)
  • Direct experience working with senior executives and business stakeholders

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
