Business Strategy - Senior Consultant

Slalom is a global, human-centric business and technology consulting firm. We partner with organisations to solve complex challenges and achieve transformative outcomes through strategy, technology, data and business transformation services.

Our UK&I Business Strategy team helps organisations define where they want to go, identify the opportunities that will create value, and build practical pathways to achieve their ambitions. We work with executive leaders to solve critical business challenges, combining strategic thinking with hands-on experience to deliver measurable outcomes.

Unlike traditional strategy consultancies, we focus on strategies that can be implemented and sustained. We work alongside our clients from concept through execution, helping them unlock growth, improve performance, and build capabilities for the future.

Business Strategy Consultant , Value & Growth

As a Business Strategy Consultant within our UK&I Business Strategy team, you will help organisations tackle their most important strategic challenges and identify opportunities for growth, transformation, and long-term value creation.

Working alongside senior client stakeholders, you will support the development of business strategies, growth plans, operating models, transformation roadmaps, and investment decisions. You will help clients navigate changing market conditions, improve performance, unlock new opportunities, and build the capabilities required for future success.

Our work spans a broad range of strategic topics, including growth strategy, market and competitive positioning, operating model design, organisational effectiveness, transformation planning, customer propositions, and technology-enabled business change.

Given the nature of our clients and the work we do, we are looking for consultants who are commercially minded, strategically curious, and comfortable working at the intersection of business and technology. Technology expertise is not the objective in itself, but an understanding of how technology, data, and AI can enable business outcomes is increasingly important.

We welcome candidates from both consulting and industry backgrounds. We believe the strongest consultants combine structured problem solving, stakeholder management, and analytical rigour with real-world experience of delivering change within organisations.

What Will You Do?

• Support the delivery of strategic consulting engagements across a range of industries and sectors.
• Conduct research, analysis, and problem-solving activities to help clients address complex business challenges.
• Develop business cases, strategic recommendations, growth strategies, operating model assessments, and transformation roadmaps.
• Support clients in evaluating market opportunities, competitive positioning, business performance, and investment priorities.
• Facilitate workshops and stakeholder discussions to align leadership teams and build consensus.
• Analyse business, financial, operational, customer, and market data to generate actionable insights.
• Create compelling executive-level presentations and client deliverables.
• Build trusted relationships with client stakeholders and internal teams.

• Contribute to proposal development, thought leadership, and capability growth within the Business Strategy team.

What We're Looking For

• 3–5+ years of relevant experience gained within consulting, industry, or a combination of both. 
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and structured thinking skills. 
• Excellent communication, facilitation, and stakeholder management capabilities. 
• Experience developing business cases, strategic recommendations, or transformation initiatives. 
• Ability to navigate ambiguity and work across complex organisational environments. 
• Experience working with senior business and technology stakeholders.
• Curiosity and interest.

Preferred Experience

Experience in one or more of the following areas:

• Business/ GrowthStrategy
• Operating Model Design
• Business Transformation
• Customer and Commercial Strategy
• Strategic Planning/ business case production
• Product and Proposition Strategy
• Mergers, Acquisitions, and Integration

Experience supporting technology-enabled transformation, digital change, data-led decision making, or AI-enabled business initiatives would be advantageous, particularly where these have been used to support broader business objectives and strategic outcomes.

We are particularly interested in candidates who can bridge business and technology conversations, helping organisations translate strategic opportunities into practical, actionable outcomes.

We have a question for you - and it’s something we’re passionate about. Can you imagine a world in which you can truly love your life and your work? Well, we have some good news – creating that world and making this vision a reality is what we get out of bed for; it’s our north star.

But what do we really mean when we talk about loving your life and your work? Let’s look at the ways in which we help our team members to achieve this – and the ‘how’.

Deep connections, better outcome

We have deep relationships with leading technology partners and they love us for our innovative and outcome based approach. Our people are passionate about solving our clients problems using the tech that’s the best solution for them. What’s more, we’re there to work side-by-side with our client teams to enable them for success long after we’ve gone. We’re all about momentum that outlasts us.

Flexibility

Life is busy, and we understand that. Our team often juggles work, family, personal commitments, and crucial client obligations. We prioritise supporting our people in balancing what matters to them while ensuring we meet our client commitments.

Flexibility is key, as we sometimes need to adapt to meet client needs. This way, our team can work on high-impact projects they’ll love, knowing they have the flexibility to manage their personal and professional lives effectively.

People-first

Great solutions start with great people. At our employee-led company, your voice matters, and we love to hear your feedback. By leading with kindness, empathy, and striving for equity, we create better experiences for everyone. Our culture encourages passion, adventure, adaptability, and diverse thinking. Inclusion, diversity, and equity are our top priorities, empowering our team to be their best selves. Together, we can create a great future by working collaboratively and supporting each other.

Rewards

There’s no shying away from it - the compensation and benefits on offer have to be competitive too, right? We know that. That’s why we have a dedicated team working with our leaders to ensure our packages are fair, competitive, and rewarding!
