Strategy Consultant

About the role

As a Strategy Consultant, you’ll help organisations identify growth opportunities, develop new ventures, and become more innovative, efficient, and data-enabled. You’ll work at the intersection of business, technology, and design, bridging human insights, commercial goals, and technical feasibility. This is a mid-level role for a "doer"— someone ready to execute research, synthesise complex data, and support strategic direction. You’ll work alongside senior leads who’ll give you the safety net to take risks and the space to grow. We are a data and tech-native, people-centric and outcome-focused strategic advisory team. Our engagements range from pure technology advisory engagements to more business-focused projects and typically cover topics like:

• Digital, data, technology & AI strategies
• Digital Portfolio Management
• Digital business models definitions
• Generative AI business value explorations and prototyping
• Enterprise Architecture
• Capability assessments
• Operating model renewals
• C-level advisory on varying strategic topics

Skills & Requirements

What we’re looking for:

• Methodology – You’re familiar with a range of research methodologies and analytical frameworks, building strength in strategy creation "best practices". You know how to capture notes effectively and organise secondary research.
• Project hygiene – You maintain strong work velocity and are reliable. If a task is off-schedule, you raise the alarm early and proactively help find a solution.
• Commercial awareness – You enjoy analysing and understanding how companies operate. You ask questions about the client’s business strategy and brand, and contribute to internal conversations that challenge assumptions.
• Communication – You’re comfortable explaining technology and strategy concepts to people outside your discipline.
• Embrace AI – You’re constantly learning and pushing the boundaries of how you use AI to support your work and disrupt your own ways of thinking and doing.
• Curiosity over ego – You approach disagreement with empathy and curiosity. Your goal is to find the best solution.
• Collaborative by nature – You work in the open, sharing and sparring with colleagues. You value bringing diverse perspectives to your work and strive to create inclusive environments where everyone can bring their ideas.
• Continuous learning – You look for opportunities to learn from other teams and projects. You’re interested in advancing our internal capabilities and ways of working.
• Bonus – Experience contributing to business development (proposals, pitches) or external marketing (blogs, talks).

What you’ll do

• Multi-perspective thinking – You’ll approach complex problems from multiple angles, drawing insights from diverse sources including consumers, market trends and technical constraints, collaborating daily with tech and data colleagues, ensuring that decisions are technically feasible and commercially viable.
• Turn insights into opportunities – You’ll support the planning and execution of research. You’ll be moderating straightforward interviews and testing sessions, capturing raw data and turning it into meaning, helping design and facilitate collaborative workshops enabling the team to move from observation to insight to opportunity.
• Analytical rigour and creative thinking – You’ll balance data-driven insights with intuitive problem-solving, switching fluidly between analytical and creative modes to drive innovation forward.
• Early and iterative validation – You’ll embrace prototyping throughout the development process, using appropriate fidelity levels to test assumptions early, learn quickly, and refine concepts based on real feedback.
• Strategic project management – You’ll support in managing exploratory and bespoke innovation projects, where the path isn’t predetermined, coordinating diverse stakeholders and perspectives while maintaining momentum, clarity and focus even when working in uncertain territory.
• Client Engagement – You’ll actively build relationships with client-side practitioners to understand their technical environment, brand and pain points.
