Drive adoption & change: define measurement, enablement, and operating processes so solutions are used and maintained.

Mentor & elevate the team: coach consultants on consulting craft, stakeholder management, and technical breadth.

Grow accounts through outcomes: build trusted relationships and spot expansion opportunities via delivered value.

Skills & Experience

Consulting leadership: proven experience leading data/analytics strategy programmes (with exposure to AI/ML preferred).

Business & technical bilingual: credible with execs and architects alike; able to frame trade-offs and influence decisions.

Broad technical grasp: modern data platforms (Azure/AWS/GCP), ingestion/ELT, modelling, governance (policies, lineage, MDM), BI, and ML use cases.

Hands-on when needed: comfortable diving into discovery, prototyping value cases, and structuring delivery backlogs.

Value & adoption mindset: measurable outcomes, TCO awareness, and practical operating models (people, process, tech).

Strong facilitation & comms: runs C-level workshops, produces clear roadmaps, and tells compelling data-led stories.

Coaching orientation: develops juniors; sets standards for consulting quality and delivery excellence.

Benefits

£80k-£100k base depending on experience

Hybrid UK working with <=20% travel (primarily London)

Clear progression to Practice Lead as the team scales
