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 We exist to challenge ineffective change and outdated consulting models, replacing them with work that is practical, human and built to deliver .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.

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 i
