About the role
We are looking for a curious, commercially-minded Operating Model Consultant to join our hybrid Digital Consulting European team. You will work alongside senior consultants on live client engagements and presales pursuits, building deep operating model and organisation design expertise alongside broader digital consulting skills: strategy, value, and process.
This is a role for someone who wants to grow quickly: you will contribute from day one, take on increasing ownership of workstreams, and develop into an independent consultant.
EPAM Digital Consulting helps senior executives define how their organisations will work in the age of AI: from strategy and operating model through to the systems, data and engineering that bring it to life. Our consultants combine structured business thinking with EPAM’s deep engineering capability, giving us access to C-suite conversations and opening the door to larger transformation programmes.
Operating Model Design is a growing and increasingly in-demand capability within the practice. We help clients across retail, consumer goods, life sciences and energy define their target operating models, organisation structures, governance frameworks and new ways of working; often as the foundation for AI-enabled transformation.
