We are currently seeking an experienced Application Consultant to play a key role in shaping and delivering a forward-thinking Digitalisation Strategy within a large, complex organisation. This is an opportunity to operate within a Transformation Value Stream, where you will influence application design decisions that balance both local business needs and global architectural standards.

In this position, you will take ownership of translating strategy into practical, scalable solutions. Working closely with Transformation Architecture and Strategy teams, you will define robust application designs and ensure alignment across programmes. You will also lead and develop a small team of Application Analysts and Administrators, providing clear direction, mentoring, and support to enable successful delivery and ongoing optimisation of solutions.

A central aspect of the role involves engaging with business stakeholders and external partners to capture requirements, evaluate solution options, and recommend the most effective technical approaches. You will assess third-party proposals, validate cost models, and contribute to early-stage project scoping, feasibility analysis, and business case development. Your ability to bridge technical complexity with business priorities will be key to success.

You will play a vital role across the full project lifecycle, from decomposing large initiatives into manageable work streams to defining testing strategies for complex, integrated systems. Alongside delivery, you will contribute to the continuous evolution of frameworks, templates, and models that support consistent implementation of business requirements across the function.

This role offers significant scope to work with modern technologies, including data analytics platforms, customer-focused digital solutions, and emerging innovations. You will collaborate with global teams and external vendors to identify and implement technologies that align with long-term business objectives while maintaining up-to-date expertise in your specialist areas.

We are looking for a candidate with strong experience in application design and delivery within large-scale or global environments and a proven ability to work with external partners. You should be confident analysing complex challenges, communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and managing multiple priorities across a dynamic delivery landscape.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives in a collaborative, matrix-led environment and is motivated by driving meaningful transformation. In return, you will have the chance to influence strategic direction, lead high-impact projects, and contribute to the ongoing evolution of a global digital ecosystem.

As well as a competitive salary which is reviewed annually, you can also enjoy a number of other benefits. With our pension scheme, we’ll double match your contribution up to a company contribution of 10%.
