Description

About us

Transform is a fresh alternative to Big Consulting. As an end to end transformation partner, we define, design, build and operate systems that solve our clients' toughest challenges and seize their biggest opportunities. That often means combining strategy, data, AI, technology and change management. Sometimes we manage and operate the systems we create; other times, we hand it over for the client to run - standing by to make improvements when things change. It all comes down to making an impact: improving lives, supporting citizens, streamlining workflows and making the world a better place. We specialise in public sector and public facing organisations-from government agencies and local authorities to energy, utilities, transportation and healthcare. We work also for dynamic brands across automotive, retail, financial services and consumer goods. We work closely with our clients, often on site; to deliver impact you're keen to help us build the workforce of the future - we should talk.

The Role

Acting as a Senior Consultant at Transform, you will be working on a variety of consulting projects to help our clients solve their knotty challenges. You will use problem solving skills and objective thinking across a range of industry areas, including local government, transport, trade, justice and health.
