In a nutshell:

You sit at the intersection of Digital and Business, where the fate of the modern enterprise is determined. With many potential paths forward, you dissect business ecosystems and goals to understand which paths are viable for our clients. We’re looking for people with a depth of experience in end-to-end product life cycles, business model design, market analysis, financial modeling, and digital roadmap implementation.

When it comes to Digital Business, you don’t stop at giving advice. Established enterprises frequently have trouble adopting a digital mindset - you demonstrate value by crafting a clear “why”. Your colleagues in Experience Strategy lead the way toward value creation with customer centric filters, you marry the perspective with revenue, monetization strategies, and a clear story of how this initiative will drive impact. You understand CX and use this to drive the creation of a compellingly quantitative POV that merges seamlessly.

The Business Consulting Domain Lead is a highly experienced leader who excels at inspiring fast-moving, cross-disciplinary teams. You are a balanced voice of direction and autonomy who can orchestrate the right talent where effective and appropriate. Yet even as you provide  direction to others, you like to roll up your sleeves and get things done. You don’t create artifacts for the sake of producing them; instead, you focus on efforts that move the conversation forward.

Above all, you are comfortable living at the leading edge of emerging tech trends; you are undeterred by ambiguity and hungry to create certainty and value for your clients.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to meet.
