IT/AI Digital Operating Model - Managing Consultant 85k + bonus - UK (Hybrid - monthly office + client travel) We're working with a consultancy that's genuinely investing heavily in digital transformation, AI, and next-gen operating models, and they're looking to bring in a Managing Consultant to help shape and deliver this across some of the UK's most complex organisations. This is a role where you'll be right at the sharp end of strategy and execution - working with CIOs, CTOs and senior leadership teams to rethink how technology delivers value to the business. You'll be influencing big decisions, challenging the status quo, and helping organisations modernise their operating models in a way that actually works in practice, not just on paper. You'll be joining a high-performing team that blends strategy, technology, and innovation, with a real focus on AI-led transformation, product operating models, and modern delivery practices. What you'll be doing You'll be leading from the front on digital operating model engagements, working closely with senior stakeholders to assess current state, define future state, and build out clear, deliverable roadmaps. A big part of the role is helping clients make sense of where AI (including Agentic AI) fits into their organisation, and how it can be embedded in a controlled, value-driven way. Day to day, you'll be shaping operating model designs across areas like structure, governance, processes, tooling, and performance, while also guiding clients through the full lifecycle - from AS-IS assessments through to business cases and implementation planning. Alongside delivery, you'll be playing a key role internally as well, contributing to propositions, supporting bids, and helping grow the practice. You'll also be leading and mentoring more junior consultants, setting the standard for delivery, and helping build out capability in what is a fast-growing area of the business. What they're looking for Strong experience delivering digital or IT operating model engagements Comfortable working with CIO / CTO level stakeholders in large, complex environments Background across FTSE 100 and/or large public sector organisations Experience designing operating models across structure, governance, processes, and tooling Good understanding of modern tech trends - AI, Agile at scale, DevSecOps, cloud, etc. Experience taking projects end-to-end (assessment through to roadmap and implementation planning) Ability to lead teams and contribute to business development activity Nice to have: Exposure to AI-led or Agentic AI operating models ITIL or similar frameworks Experience building propositions or contributing to go-to-market offerings Why it's worth a conversation This is one of those roles where you're not just delivering slide decks - you're genuinely influencing how large organisations operate in a digital world. There's a big push on AI and innovation, and you'll be given the space to shape both client outcomes and the direction of the practice itself. On top of a salary of 85k + bonus, there's a solid benefits package, flexible working as standard, and a culture that actually backs personal development rather than just talking about it.
