About the role
- You will work across multiple parallel work streams alongside Solutions Architects, Data Engineers, and Program Managers, and you will be expected to run your lanes independently with full ownership of client relationships, deliverables, and outcomes.
- This role sits at the intersection of management consulting and AI-enabled transformation.
Responsibilities
- Operations Strategy & Value Chain Analysis: Lead the decomposition of complex, cross-functional business processes (supply chain, logistics, procurement, distribution) to expose structural inefficiencies, wrong-node allocation, mode-mix issues, and escalation drivers.
- Client Discovery & Stakeholder Engagement: Independently facilitate workshops, interviews, and discovery sessions with senior client stakeholders. Build trusted advisor relationships and drive difficult conversations with confidence.
- Work Stream Leadership: Own and independently drive one or more delivery lanes end-to-end: planning, client communication, deliverable production, risk escalation, and progress reporting, without requiring day-to-day direction.
- As-Is / To-Be Architecture: Collaborate with Solutions Architects to define current-state and target-state process and system architectures, applying structured analytical frameworks (Lean Six Sigma, root cause analysis, hypothesis-driven problem solving) to validate transformation opportunities.
- Deliverable Ownership: Produce enterprise-grade analytical deliverables (process maps, value stream analyses, opportunity assessments, business cases, use case definitions) that drive client decision-making and investment.
- Team Enablement: Mentor and support junior Business Analysts and consultants, helping them develop the skills to independently run sessions, produce deliverables, and manage client interactions.
- Independent Client Leadership: Demonstrated ability to independently own executive-level client relationships, facilitate workshops with senior stakeholders, and drive conversations that move programs forward without senior oversight.
- Build trusted advisor relationships and drive difficult conversations with confidence.
- facilitating executive workshops, decomposing complex value chains, identifying root causes of operational inefficiency, and translating findings into structured requirements that drive technical architecture and AI-powered solutions.
- Own and independently drive one or more delivery lanes end-to-end: planning, client communication, deliverable production, risk escalation, and progress reporting, without requiring day-to-day direction.
Requirements
- Required Skills and Experience
- 6+ years of management consulting experience at a Big Four, tier-two, or leading boutique firm, with a track record of leading operations strategy, business transformation, or value chain reinvention engagements.
- Agile Execution: Ability to thrive in rapid, hypothesis-driven sprint cycles (12-week engagement models) where the focus is on validation experiments and speed to insight rather than traditional, slow IT delivery.
Nice to have
- Strong foundation in structured problem-solving methodologies (Lean Six Sigma, root cause analysis, value stream mapping).
- Black Belt certification or equivalent practical depth is strongly preferred.
- Experience across multiple industries and geographies at a senior level.
- Lean Six Sigma & Process Expertise: Strong foundation in structured problem-solving methodologies (Lean Six Sigma, root cause analysis, value stream mapping).
Skills
- Comfort utilizing AI tools (LLM assistants, agentic workflows) to accelerate research, analysis, and deliverable production.
