Consulting Manager (AI & Transformation) Sullivan & Stanley About Us Sullivan & Stanley is deliberately not a traditional consulting firm.  We exist to challenge ineffective change and outdated consulting models, replacing them with work that is  practical, human and built to deliver . We combine strategy, execution, technology and community to help organisations move faster and change better. No theatre. No unnecessary complexity. Just work that stands up in the real world. We’re building a high-trust, high-accountability environment for people who take ownership, follow through, and care about the impact of their work. We are also on a mission to change business for good in shaping organisations that are fit for the future. The Role This is not a passenger role. As a Consulting Manager , you lead from the front, owning delivery, shaping client outcomes, and setting the standard for how consulting should be done. You will operate as the trusted day-to-day lead for clients, translating ambiguity into structure and strategy into execution. You are equally comfortable: • leading senior client conversations • driving delivery at pace • coaching consultants • and making clear, commercially sound decisions What You’ll Do • Own delivery of engagements or critical workstreams end-to-end • Turn complex problems into clear, executable plans • Build credibility quickly with senior stakeholders • Lead, stretch and support consultants to deliver high-quality work • Drive momentum by removing blockers and maintaining focus on outcomes • Identify risks early and deal with them directly • Contribute to winning and shaping new work • Uphold high standards across delivery, communication and output AI & Data Focus You will operate at the intersection of business and technology , helping clients apply AI where it genuinely creates value. This means: • Translating business challenges into practical AI and data solutions • Cutting through hype to focus on what will actually work • Advising on data readiness, governance and adoption • Leading pilots and building confidence through delivery • Engaging credibly with technical teams without needing to be hands-on You don’t need to build models but you do need to understand enough to challenge, guide and decide . What We’re Looking For • 6–8+ years in consulting or complex transformation environments • A track record of owning delivery and making things happen • Strong judgement, you know when to go deep and when to move • Ability to operate with pace, structure and accountability • Credibility with senior stakeholders • Experience leading and developing others • Commercial awareness and contribution to growth You’ll likely stand out if you: • Have worked on AI, data or technology-enabled transformation • Can bridge strategy and execution without losing either • Bring clarity and direction in ambiguous situations What Success Looks Like • Clients trust you and want to work with you again • Work gets delivered to a high standard, without drama • Teams you lead are clearer, stronger and more effective • You contribute to growing the business, not just delivering within it How We Work • We say what we mean • We do what we say • We support each other • We take responsibility Why Join Us • Real ownership and autonomy • Meaningful, visible impact on clients and the firm • A team of high-calibre, low-ego operators • Ongoing investment in your development • Flexible benefits including pension, enhanced parental leave, wellbeing support and more Our Commitment We’re building a diverse, inclusive environment where different perspectives are valued and expected. We hire for capability, judgement and potential and we hold a high bar. Final Note This role isn’t for everyone. It suits people who: • take ownership without waiting to be asked • are comfortable with ambiguity • care about doing the work properly • and want to help build something, not just be part of it
