As part of the Transform Together Consulting team you will lead impactful change primarily in the area of Data and AI by partnering with industry-leading companies to shape strategy and drive operational excellence.

You will be working across organisational levels, depending on your comfort and experience, from SMEs to the C-Suite to help provide structure, knowledge, and insight into the best methods to deliver their transformation agenda.
