## Job description

## Why Join Exadel

We're an AI-first global tech company with 25+ years of engineering leadership, 2,000+ team members, and 500+ active projects powering Fortune 500 clients, including HBO, Microsoft, Google, and Starbucks.

From strategic advisory and AI solutions to digital transformation, we partner with enterprise leaders to solve complex business challenges, unlock opportunities, and build what's next.

What powers it all? Our people are ambitious, collaborative, curious, and constantly evolving.

## About the Role

You will be joining the growing UK arm (London-based) of our US-based Advisory business, where you will help shape the direction of the practice and execute our ambitious plans to scale our strategy consulting capabilities.

As a Lead Strategy Consultant, you will act as a trusted advisor, where you'll work directly with senior client leaders, often at the C-suite level, helping them clarify their business goals, uncover opportunities, challenge assumptions, and define the outcomes that matter most. We believe great consulting doesn't begin with a predefined problem or solution. It begins with curiosity, asking the right questions, understanding what keeps clients up at night, and looking beyond their initial requests to determine what they are ultimately trying to achieve.

You'll help clients set strategies that evaluate the right combination of people, processes, operating models, experiences, data, and technology to achieve their goals. This may involve improving business performance, developing new capabilities, addressing operational challenges, or enabling broader transformation.

And once the strategy is defined, you won't simply hand it off. You'll work alongside our broader delivery teams to help turn strategic direction into tangible outcomes, ensuring solutions work for the people and organizations they are intended to serve.

## What You'll Do

Lead client engagements, shaping opportunities, Problems & Solutions

- Own consulting workstreams and engagements end-to-end, accountable for quality, timelines, budgets, and client outcomes
- Lead workshops, asking thoughtful, sometimes challenging questions to uncover what clients are truly trying to achieve, rather than simply accepting their initial problem statement or proposed solution
- Identify underlying challenges, root causes, and opportunities that may not be immediately apparent, helping clients focus on the outcomes that will create the greatest value
- Help clients define what success looks like and translate their goals into strategic priorities, actionable recommendations, and practical roadmaps

Develop Executable Strategies

- Develop client strategies and own strategic roadmaps grounded in business realities and focused on measurable outcomes, including revenue growth, customer experience, operational efficiency, risk reduction, and business performance
- Evaluate strategic options across people, processes, operating models, experiences, data, and technology, including AI where it can deliver meaningful value
- Lead business case development, quantify opportunities, and confidently present investment recommendations to client leadership and finance teams
- Work with Exadel's broader advisory, design, data, AI, and engineering teams to ensure strategies can be translated into tangible solutions

Build Client Relationships & Grow the Business

- Build trusted relationships with senior client decision-makers, developing a deep understanding of their business, priorities, and evolving needs
- Recognize emerging challenges and opportunities where Exadel can deliver additional value, helping shape new engagements and long-term partnerships
- Support proposals, pitches, business cases, and solution development for new opportunities
- Contribute to thought leadership that helps organizations navigate evolving business challenges, strategic opportunities, and the role of emerging technologies

Help Shape Our Consulting Practice

- Contribute to the development and evolution of consulting frameworks, methodologies, and reusable approaches that strengthen our ability to deliver client value
- Help build and scale our strategy consulting capabilities, influencing how we engage clients, shape opportunities, and deliver outcomes
- Mentor and coach other consultants, strengthening their strategic thinking, problem-solving, and client leadership skills

## What You Bring

- Strong consulting experience: Extensive experience in strategy, management, business, or technology consulting, with a proven track record of leading client engagements and influencing senior stakeholders
- Strategic leadership and opportunity shaping: The ability to enter client conversations without a predefined problem or solution, uncover opportunities, challenge assumptions, and guide clients toward the right strategic direction and business outcomes
- Intellectual curiosity and critical thinking: A natural instinct to ask questions, dig beneath the surface, investigate root causes, and understand what truly matters to clients. You're comfortable respectfully challenging their thinking when it leads to better outcomes
- Executive presence and stakeholder leadership: Confidence engaging directly with senior executives, including C-suite leaders, building trust, navigating complex stakeholder environments, and influencing strategic decisions
- Commercial and business acumen: The ability to connect business goals to financial and operational outcomes, quantify opportunities, build credible business cases, and confidently discuss revenue, margin, cost, risk, and return on investment
- Human-centered thinking: Strong empathy, creativity, judgment, and an understanding of how people, organizations, and technology interact. You recognize that successful strategies must work for the people they affect
- AI and technology fluency: Curiosity about emerging technologies and hands-on experience using AI to enhance your own work. You understand where AI can create value, recognize its limitations, and are comfortable collaborating with technical teams without needing to be an engineer yourself
- Strategy through execution: Experience translating strategic direction into practical roadmaps, actionable recommendations, and measurable outcomes. You understand how to connect business strategy with delivery
- Builder mindset: Comfortable moving beyond presentations to test ideas, validate assumptions, and develop tangible proof. You thrive in ambiguity, work at pace, and balance hands-on contribution with leading from the front
- Business and operating model understanding: Experience assessing organizational capabilities, business processes, governance, and operating models, with the ability to recommend changes where they support client goals
- People leadership: Experience managing, mentoring, or coaching consultants, with a genuine interest in helping others develop
- Exceptional communication: The ability to distill complex business challenges into clear, compelling narratives and communicate recommendations persuasively, both in writing and in the room
- High standards and accountability: A commitment to intellectual rigor, accuracy, quality, and delivering thoughtful recommendations that create meaningful client value
