Are you an experienced consultant who enjoys working independently with clients to solve complex business challenges and shape technology-driven transformation?

We're looking for a Business Consultant – Technology Advisory to join our Strategic Digital Solutions consulting team at Sopra Steria. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who has already built strong consulting, advisory, business transformation or technology delivery experience and is ready to take ownership of client engagements and advisory workstreams.

You'll also contribute to innovation initiatives, helping clients understand how emerging technologies can create practical business value and support their long-term objectives.

We can offer great career progression opportunities, ability to be based anywhere across the UK, benefits which you can flex to meet your needs, and training and development opportunities. This is a hybrid role. You must be eligible to obtain Security Clearance.

• Leading defined workstreams within business consulting and technology advisory engagements.
• Facilitating workshops, stakeholder discussions and discovery activities to understand client challenges and opportunities.
• Developing technology strategies, transformation roadmaps, assessments and client recommendations.
• Producing high-quality presentations, reports, options papers and other client-facing deliverables.
• Researching emerging technologies, innovation opportunities and market trends to inform client outcomes.
• Supporting business development activities and contributing to the growth of the Technology Advisory practice.

What you'll bring:

• Experience delivering consulting, advisory, transformation or technology-focused engagements.
• The ability to work independently, manage priorities and deliver outcomes with minimal supervision.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to translate complex issues into practical recommendations.
• Experience leading workshops, stakeholder engagement activities and discovery sessions.
• Experience producing high-quality client-facing deliverables, including presentations, reports and strategic recommendations.
• A strong interest in technology, innovation and digital transformation.

It would be great if you had:

• Exposure to enterprise transformation, technology strategy or digital transformation programmes.
• Knowledge of cloud, data, Artificial Intelligence, automation or enterprise technology landscapes.
• Understanding of enterprise architecture, business architecture or architecture-led transformation.
