You will take a leading role in growing the Digital Transformation business across the UK and EMEA, with a particular focus on Energy & Infrastructure. Proven experience working within an advisory practice for a GSI or Strategic Advisory Practice within the E&I space.

The Ideal Candidate

This opportunity would suit a commercially minded consulting leader who combines deep Energy & Infrastructure industry knowledge with strong digital, AI and transformation expertise.
