Work you’ll do

Cloud provides the opportunity to innovate business practices, improve customer delivery, and create competitive advantage, all through business transformation.  It represents an opportunity to advance core business practices and enable new business capabilities, well beyond a foundational “lift and shift” to public or private cloud.  Financial benefits of a shift to cloud can often fuel the business transformation, enabling parallel IT and business innovation.  Our Strategy and Operations Cloud leaders help solve our client’s most complex issues, to ensure both value creation and business transformation, through transitions to cloud. 

 

 

Our practitioners work collaboratively within integrated, cross-functional teams to deliver business, digital and analytics transformation, enabled through cloud.  Teamwork is crucial as teams are composed of a diverse group of specialists across multiple disciplines from both within our consulting practice and from our clients, helping drive towards a successful outcome.  Our practitioners are expected to own and deliver their respective deliverables while managing different clients and other stakeholders.

 

 

A Manager at Deloitte will manage and deliver components of client engagements that identify, design, and implement technology and creative business solutions for large companies. Key responsibilities will include:

 

  • Manage teams in the identification of business requirements, functional design, process design (including scenario design, flow mapping), prototyping, testing, training, defining support procedures.
  • Formulate planning, budgeting, forecasting and reporting strategies.
  • Manage full life cycle implementations.
  • Develop statements of work and/or client proposals.
  • Identify business opportunities to increase usability and profitability of information architecture.
  • Experience with program leadership, governance and change enablement.
  • Develop and manage vendor relationships.
  • Lead workshops for client education.
  • Manage resources and budget on client projects.
  • Assist and drive the team by providing oversight.
