Contract: Permanent, full-time

We are working with a leading digital transformation consultancy operating heavily within the Education sector. They partner closely with clients to modernise systems, improve data integration, and deliver sustainable, data-led change that enhances the student experience.

We are looking for a Senior Consultant with a strong consultancy background who can lead data-led delivery and play an active role in commercial activities, account management, and team leadership.

This role suits someone who enjoys shaping work, leading teams, and growing client relationships - not just delivering in isolation.

What you'll be doing

  • Leading substantial workstreams or small-to-medium projects across discovery, design, implementation, and transition
  • Delivering data-led transformation, including data governance, data management, data quality, and integration-aware solutions
  • Running discovery, maturity assessments, and client workshops, translating outcomes into practical delivery
  • Acting as a senior client contact, building trusted relationships with Heads of Service and senior stakeholders
  • Mentoring and leading consultants, setting delivery standards and assuring quality
  • Contributing to proposals, solution shaping, and identifying follow-on opportunities within client accounts

What we're looking for

  • Experience within a consultancy or advisory environment
  • Strong delivery background across data management, data governance, data quality, or transformation programmes is a must
  • Experience using frameworks like DAMA-DMBOCK to guide organisations toward better governance
  • Comfortable working in ambiguous environments and shaping delivery approaches
  • Confident client-facing presence, with strong written and verbal communication
  • Commercial awareness, including exposure to bids, proposals, or account growth
  • Interest in or experience with Higher Education data domains

This is an excellent opportunity for a Senior Consultant or early Manager who wants to remain hands-on while expanding their commercial impact and sector credibility.
