- Experience creating customer-facing documentation and deliverables such as SOWs, technical assessments, solution recommendations, and project plans.
- Strong communication and consulting skills with the ability to build credibility with both technical and business stakeholders.
- Comfortable being both strategic and hands-on—able to advise on the solution and execute the work.
- Ability to work independently in a flexible, ad-hoc consulting environment.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
