We are building a data advisory practice and are seeking an experienced consultant who can run client engagements independently, support business development conversations, and help develop the team around them. As a data consultant, you will play an important role in supporting our clients navigate the complexities of leveraging data effectively to drive strategic business outcomes. This is a delivery-focused role - you will be expected to lead projects from day one.

What You'll Do

• Lead data maturity assessments and transformation engagements for clients across sectors.
• Support large-scale data transformations ranging from the business case development and strategy assessments to managing implementation of data products and solutions.
• Help clients embed data into how they actually work, translating strategy into changed behaviours, clearer ownership, and ways of working that stick beyond the engagement.
• Support senior relationship leads in business development conversations.
• Manage less experienced consultants on engagements, developing their skills and outputs.
• Contribute to building practice methodology, tools, and ways of working.
• Plan and facilitate client workshops, from discovery sessions through to strategic prioritisation.
• Produce high-quality client deliverables including diagnostics, strategies, operating models and roadmap.
• Translate complex data situations into clear narratives for ExCo and Director-level audiences

Experience

• Experience in at least one of the following areas: data strategy, data maturity, or data transformation
• Track record of successfully running your own projects or workstreams with limited senior oversight
• Experience advising at Director level and holding your own under challenge
• Exposure to data governance, operating model, literacy and business adoption programmes.
• Understanding of what it takes to make data change land inside an organisation, adoption, culture, and capability building, not just strategy documents.

Knowledge

• Solid understanding of the data landscape - governance, legal, architecture concepts, MDM, technology and BI tooling.
• Ability to assess where an organisation sits on a data maturity curve and build a credible roadmap from it
• Understanding of the organisational and change dimensions of data transformation, not just the technical ones

About you

• Passion for working with data, with a natural curiosity and enthusiasm for exploring, analysing, and deriving practical insights.
• Naturally good with clients - builds trust without needing a formal relationship mandate
• Structured thinker who can make sense of ambiguous briefs and challenging client situations
• Invested in developing others - gets genuine satisfaction from supporting the growth of less experienced colleagues
• Comfortable in a smaller, less structured environment where you help define ways of working rather than inherit them

The Environment

• Advisory and transformation-focused - no technical delivery
• Small, growing practice with an established lead you will work alongside
• Real delivery ownership from the outset
• Opportunity to shape methodology and build something, not just execute it
• Variety of clients and sectors, no two engagements the same
• A place where your contribution is visible and your development is taken seriously
