An Overview of the Role

Cloud technology is a fundamental component of every business strategy, ranging from the development of new business models to strategic risk management. Today's cloud strategy extends beyond infrastructure to encompass business, application, data, security, integration, and platform strategies. As a cloud strategy consultant, you will leverage your understanding of our clients' businesses and our industry thought leadership to devise cloud strategies that prepare enterprises for the future. Your role involves delivering business-oriented cloud strategies that facilitate our clients' cloud adoption, acceleration, and innovation.
Your responsibilities include engaging and communicating with stakeholders at all organizational levels to collaboratively innovate, design, and implement new business and operating models. With a keen awareness of market trends and client challenges, you will contribute to enduring and sustainable organizational transformations.
Why This Role
- Client engagements give you the opportunity to work with our leadership and experienced consulting management, where you can learn from them, challenge them and accelerate your hands-on experience, delivery capability and industry insights.
- Youll learn how we write compelling client propositions, structure and lead high-profile transformation, and gain hands-on exposure to leading technologies, often taking an idea from a concept to a vision, to strategy and then execution

Team away days are always a chance to connect with the team, have fun and learn something new.
