With additional offices in South America, there is a place for you here wherever you’re based.

**The role in a nutshell**:
We are looking for the strategic leader to support our ambitious trajectory, and keep proving that Kin + Carta makes sustainable digital transformation happen. As a member of the strategy practice, you will always have a varied role, between pre-sales & GTM, project or programme leadership, and stakeholder engagement and management. Over your first six months with Kin + Carta, you are likely to have an opportunity to participate in all of the below:
**Help Kin + Carta win more work, and uncover new opportunities**
- Pitch and win work for K+C across our target and growth verticals, leveraging your extensive experience and deep understanding of client needs
- Work with our Portfolio Directors to deeply understand client needs and grow our presence in existing client organisations
- Evolve our GTM proposition to meet emergent opportunities based on prospect and client contact time

**Help Kin + Carta build its presence and credentials across Digital Transformation with new content and ideas**

- Represent K+C externally at events and conferences
- Targeted or ongoing coaching, counselling or network building within client organisations to help us deliver the best possible work and uncover commercial opportunities
- Coach, mentor and manage team members from different disciplines and people across K+C.
- Help junior associates with less complex digital transformation or client-wrangling experience to rapidly progress and develop

**Develop new propositions and ventures for clients**
- Work with clients and cross-functional team of developers and designers to uncover new opportunities to create value or improve their organisation with technology
- Experiment, incubate and prioritise to make the case for further investment in the most promising opportunities

**Lead a strategic product or transformation project**
- Work in a tight, cross-functional team with our clients to explore, validate and uncover a path to delivery for a new product or service, or outline an organisational transformation roadmap

**The type of person we’d love to meet**:

- You have a wealth of experience and understanding of digital transformation and the nuances of delivering change in enterprise environments, either in-house or in a consultancy context
- Experienced in the development and delivery of new business pitches and proposals
- You’re an innovative thinker who pushes the boundaries and loves thinking about commercially viable solutions for organisations to embrace digital solutions for growth and efficiency
- You can lead out on and effectively communicate a product, service, or transformation strategy to C level stakeholders, and are able to demonstrate strong understanding of ROI and business benefits of digital change.
- You’re able to think in both business and behavioural models, researching and analysing organisations, and develop insight into customer behaviour;
- Somebody who possess a deep knowledge of how products and services get built, launched and grow - from discovery through to delivery and live;
- You’re able to employ a varied toolkit of frameworks and techniques from across disparate areas of consulting, design, technology and tangential fields;
- You truly understand what makes an excellent customer experience, and how that translates into commercial success for businesses;

**Nice to Have**:

- You are passionate about technology and the transformative effect of software on the world
- Experience in planning and facilitating collaborative working sessions
- Experienced navigating the structures, politics and incentives of the large organisations we (usually) work for, and building strong relationships with clients and stakeholders
