You will build strong team and client relationships, support growth, innovation, and continuous service improvement.
Hybrid working: This role is hybrid working meaning you will predominately work from home but will be expected to attend the office regularly for meetings and team events. You can attend the office daily if you wish. You will need to be based within a commutable distance of our Glasgow office and may be asked to work on client site for part of the week depending on the client.

You will work within established delivery frameworks like Agile, ITIL, and Product-centric approaches, advising clients on maximising application value.
Depending on your strengths and business needs, you may specialise as either a functional consultant (for example, HR, Finance, or Supply Chain) or as a technical application consultant, working with technologies such as Oracle, SAP, Microsoft, AWS Cloud, Azure Cloud, and Java. Regardless of specialism you will engage with leading-edge cloud and AI technologies, have ongoing access to world-class industry training and certifications, and be actively encouraged to pursue industry-standard qualifications to support your professional growth—all while consistently maintaining high delivery standards and best practices.
