About The Position

We are seeking a high-potential Strategic Advisor & Engagement Lead to support the growth and evolution of our Public Sector consulting practice. This individual will serve as both a trusted client advisor and an engagement leader, partnering closely with practice leadership to drive strategic client outcomes, delivery excellence, operational transformation, and practice growth. This role reports directly to the Director and will play an active role in influencing practice strategy, client growth opportunities, service evolution, and AI-enabled consulting innovation. While technical fluency is important, this role is centered on strategic leadership, business transformation, and cross-functional collaboration rather than deep engineering expertise. The ideal candidate is highly client-facing, influence-oriented, proactive, and entrepreneurial. They should be equally comfortable facilitating strategic discussions with clients, leading delivery execution, managing engagement financials, and helping shape the future direction of the practice. We are looking for someone who can bridge business and technical conversations, guide implementation teams strategically, solve complex organizational problems, and build trusted relationships with clients and internal teams.
