**About Waterstons**
We’re on a mission to help our customers build a better business. We have offices in the UK and Australia as well as a team of people who work across the globe to provide unique business solutions, service and support that directly adds value to our client’s business.

**About the Role**
We’re looking for an inquisitive and experienced senior business consultant who can quickly establish rapport with a wide range of clients, diagnose the root causes of challenges they face, and work effectively in a small team to design appropriate, imaginative and realistic solutions - whether technological, organisational or procedural - to grow the client’s value.

We don’t expect you to know everything yourself, but we do expect you to consider every angle of a problem and find an appropriate person to assist and advise you.
- Lead and facilitate workshops with diverse clients to understand their business challenges.

- An inquisitive mind, and a deep interest in seeing past symptoms to the root causes of problems.
- Experience of designing recommendations to solve complex business problems.
- A team player: someone who can take responsibility, deliver results, assist and support colleagues, and who’s great to work with.
- Excellent customer service values: you will prioritise the preferences and needs of the client, and have a desire to help them improve their people, processes and technology.

**Nice to have**:

- A detailed background in one or more aspects of information technology is useful.
- Knowledge of prevailing trends, commercial acumen, and operating drivers across multiple sectors/ industries.
- A detailed understanding of the technical details, strengths and limitations of tech solutions.
- Qualifications in (for example, and not exhaustively): Risk, Change, Project or Programme Management, a CMI consulting qualification (or equivalent), Lean Six Sigma.
- A full UK driving license to facilitate client visits.
