About the Role

We are hiring a Manager, Transformation Consulting to lead end-to-end digital transformation engagements, from problem framing and solution design through delivery and adoption.

You will lead programmes where AI plays a critical role in reshaping business models, operating structures, workforce design, governance, and ways of working, and you will be the primary voice translating emerging AI capabilities into practical, scalable, and responsible outcomes for clients at a senior level.

We operate in a modern delivery model where AI tools are embedded into how we think, design, and deliver. As a Manager, you will set the standard for how your team uses AI to accelerate insight generation, rapid prototyping, delivery execution, and adoption planning, while coaching others to do the same.
