AI Enabled Consultant

At UBDS, we're building the next generation of consultants-professionals who use AI to think smarter, solve problems faster and deliver exceptional outcomes for clients.

Our AI Enabled Consultant Programme is designed for graduates and early-career professionals who are excited by technology, passionate about solving business challenges and ready to build a career in modern consulting.

Over an immersive 6 to 8-week Programme, you'll develop the core consulting skills needed to succeed while learning how to use AI safely, responsibly and effectively as part of your everyday consulting toolkit.

This is not a software engineering, data science or AI development role.

Instead, we're looking for future consultants who are technology and AI native-people who naturally embrace digital tools, are curious about emerging technologies and are excited by the opportunity to embed AI into the way they think, collaborate and deliver for clients. You'll learn how to use AI to enhance your productivity, strengthen your analysis and help deliver better project outcomes, while recognising that human judgement, creativity and relationship-building remain at the heart of great consulting.

The Programme is only the beginning. At UBDS, continuous learning is part of our culture. As technology and AI continue to evolve, so will you. Through ongoing professional development, mentoring, certifications, hands-on project experience and access to the latest AI tools and methodologies, you'll continue developing throughout your consulting career.

Our Programme combines structured learning, practical workshops and real project experience, giving you a strong foundation for a successful consulting career.

You'll develop experience in:

• Business Analysis
• Consulting and structured problem solving
• Project Delivery
• Service Design
• Stakeholder Management
• Digital Transformation
• Communication and presentation skills

Alongside these core consulting capabilities, you'll learn how to:

• Use AI to accelerate research, analysis and problem solving.
• Generate insights from information and data.
• Improve the quality and efficiency of client deliverables.
• Enhance collaboration and productivity.
• Apply AI responsibly, ethically and securely within consulting engagements.
• Continuously adopt new AI capabilities as they emerge.

Working alongside experienced consultants, you'll gain exposure to real client challenges while developing the skills needed to thrive in an increasingly AI-enabled consulting profession.

As an AI Enabled Consultant, you won't be expected to build AI models or develop AI products.

Instead, you'll become a consultant who confidently uses AI to enhance every stage of the consulting lifecycle-from research and analysis to solution design, delivery and client engagement.

You'll learn how to:

• Solve complex business challenges.
• Deliver projects more effectively.
• Create greater value for clients.
• Improve the quality and speed of your work.
• Focus more time on critical thinking, collaboration and innovation.

The consultants who will thrive in the future won't simply understand AI-they'll know when, where and how to use it to achieve better outcomes.

This opportunity is designed for graduates and early-career professionals looking to begin a career in consulting.

Whether you've recently graduated or are looking for your first professional consulting opportunity, we're looking for people with the potential to become exceptional consultants-not technical AI specialists.

You'll be someone who:

• Is naturally curious and enjoys solving complex business problems.
• Is comfortable learning and adopting new technologies.
• Is excited by using AI to improve the way you work and solve problems.
• Enjoys working with people and building trusted relationships.
• Thinks critically and communicates with confidence.
• Thrives in collaborative, fast-paced environments.
• Has a growth mindset and is committed to continuous learning.
• Wants to help shape the future of consulting through technology and innovation.

No previous consulting experience is required. We'll provide the training, support and development needed to help you build a successful consulting career.

To be considered, you'll need to:

• Have the right to work in the UK.
• Be eligible to obtain UK Security Clearance (SC). This typically requires you to have lived in the UK continuously for the last five years, although each application is assessed individually.
• Be willing to spend time working from our London or Manchester offices, as well as travelling to client sites when required. We believe the best learning comes through collaboration, coaching and working alongside experienced consultants and our clients.

UBDS helps organisations across the public and private sectors transform through cloud, data, AI and digital innovation.

As an AI Enabled Consultant, you'll benefit from:

• A structured 6 to 8-week AI Enabled Consultant Programme.
• Continuous learning and professional development throughout your career.
• Mentoring and coaching from experienced consultants and industry experts.
• Hands-on experience working on meaningful client projects.
• Access to leading AI tools and modern consulting practices.
• Professional training and certification opportunities.
• A collaborative, inclusive and supportive culture.
• A clear career pathway with opportunities to specialise and progress.

At UBDS, we don't believe AI replaces great consultants-we believe it enables them to create even greater value.

We're looking for curious, ambitious people who are excited by technology, passionate about solving meaningful business challenges and eager to make AI a natural part of the way they work.

If you want to launch your consulting career with a company that's helping shape the future of digital transformation, we'd love to hear from you.
