Who I’m looking for

You’re an experienced consultant who thrives on solving complex client challenges through data, analytics, and technology. You’re confident operating in ambiguous environments, bringing structure, clarity, and insight to every engagement.

You combine deep technical expertise with strong communication skills — able to translate complex analytical findings into clear, actionable recommendations for clients. You build trust quickly, are commercially aware, and enjoy working at the intersection of data science, strategy, and innovation.

You’re equally comfortable presenting to senior stakeholders, mentoring junior team members, or getting hands-on developing prototypes and scalable analytical solutions.

• 
  
• Leading client engagements as a trusted advisor and subject matter expert.
  
• Working in agile, experiment-driven environments that value iteration and learning.
  
• Translating client challenges into well-defined analytical problems and evidence-based recommendations.
  
• Scoping and delivering complex technical projects end-to-end.
  
• Designing and implementing cloud-based or hybrid data solutions (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  
• Applying advanced analytical and statistical methods to uncover insights and support decision-making.
  
• Writing maintainable, production-quality code (Python or similar) and adhering to best practices (version control, testing, CI/CD).
  
• Building scalable, deployable systems while managing risk and ensuring quality.
  
• Communicating findings through clear, compelling narratives tailored to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  
• Contributing to business development, client pitches, and the organisation’s broader strategy.
  

• 
  
• Minimum 5 years’ experience in a consultancy environment, leading delivery across complex, client-facing technical projects.
  
• Degree (or higher) in a STEM discipline.
  
• Proven expertise in data science, analytics, or applied machine learning.
  
• Strong coding ability in Python (or equivalent), with familiarity across cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  
• Understanding of database technologies (SQL and NoSQL).
  
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, software engineering best practice, and modern development workflows.
  
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills — able to influence, advise, and collaborate effectively.
  
• Evidence of ongoing professional development and a passion for continuous learning.
  

Due to the nature of the work, applicants must hold active SC clearance or be eligible to obtain it.

To qualify, you must be a British who has lived in the UK continuously for the past five years.

You’ll join at the Senior level, with a competitive salary and package reflective of your impact. This is an opportunity to be part of a fast-growing, values-driven organisation where innovation, collaboration, and transparency are at the heart of everything. Your voice will be heard, your ideas will shape the future, and you’ll gain exposure across the full breadth of strategy, delivery, and client success.
