Role Overview

Transformation Delivery Leads help clients fundamentally change how their organizations operate, build products, and deliver value. They guide clients from current-state assessment through operating model transformation and scaled adoption, using our Blueprint, Pilot, Scale, and Operate approach, with AI embedded throughout how work gets done.

This role combines executive advisory with hands-on transformation and delivery leadership. You will set direction with senior stakeholders, shape the transformation roadmap, mobilize cross-functional teams, and stay close to execution to ensure that new ways of working translate into measurable business outcomes and lasting organizational change.

• Scale: Govern team typology shifts and change management. Extend proven practices across teams and service lines with clear ownership, enablement, and governance.

• Operate: Establish sustainable operating practices, transition ownership to client teams, or support ongoing operations through defined management models and repeatable playbooks.
