Job Profile description

In Kainos Digital Advisory we work with clients from the very early phases of their transformation journey. We begin by understanding their business challenges and setting clear strategic direction, then work with the full depth of Kainos delivery capabilities to execute change. Key areas of advisory work include helping clients to navigate uncertainty, solve complex business and technical problems and structure transformational change, enabled by technology.

At Kainos we put significant emphasis on developing and training our people to be world class. We are committed to an investment in you - our talent - to ensure you not only have industry leading skills but have a clearly defined career path to progress.

As a Senior Associate, you will work on projects from inception to completion, from smaller strategic engagements to large scale transformational delivery. You will have experience in assessing client business challenges, supporting development of solutions and implementing a range of business changes enabled by technology. Consulting skills are essential, supported by a broad knowledge of digital trends and associated business models.

You will actively contribute to the Digital Advisory practice and to delivery of Digital Advisory initiatives. You will be able to work as a key member of our project teams, taking responsibility for delivering some of our key client outcomes.

**Responsibilities will include**:

- You will be responsible for the Agility transformation and the efficiency improvement of up to 2 client teams
- Establish ways of working to enable an agile team to plan, forecast, remove impediments and deliver against a product backlog.
- Improve Kainos reputation by building strong client relationships
- Advising on which methodology or hybrid approach is best suited for the specific client needs
- Contributing to the execution of large-scale Agility transformations in Kainos/client joint teams or multi-vendor environments using the guard rails to encourage effective use of techniques and tooling
- Supporting Digital Advisory leadership with the development of offerings, building customer relationships, developing account strategies, sharing knowledge, and mentoring those around you.

**Minimum (essential) requirements**:

- Demonstrable experience utilising Scrum or Kanban to improve efficiency of individual teams.
- Understanding of how to write outcome focussed Epics, Features and User Stories
- Experience using knowledge and evidence to influence change in a project
- Experience facilitating workshops and leading improvement initiatives
- Active participation in revenue or sales-generating activity OR contributing to bids and proposals

**DESIRABLE**:

- Core consulting experience in client facing roles OR experience working in Agile teams in roles such as Engineering, Design, BA, Data etc...

**WHO YOU ARE**:
Our vision is to enable outstanding people to create digital solutions that have a positive impact on people’s lives. Our values aren't abstract; they are the behaviours we expect from each other every day and underpin everything that we do. We expect everyone to display our values by being **determined** in how obstacles are overcome; **honest** when dealing with others; **respectful** of how you treat others; **creative** to find solutions to complex problems and **cooperative** by sharing information, knowledge and experience. These values, applied collectively, help to produce an outstanding Kainos person, team and culture.

In short: Having a criminal record will not exclude you from a career with Kainos. This depends entirely on the nature and requirements of the position, together with the circumstances and background of offences. Kainos has a policy on the recruitment of ex-offenders (available on request).
