The Role

As a Business & Transformation Consultant, Geospatial Information & Data, you’ll work with customers to tackle complex business and operational challenges, helping them turn strategic ambitions into practical, deliverable transformation.

You’ll take a broad, whole-organisation view, connecting people, processes, information, data, technology and governance to understand challenges, shape future ways of working and help customers achieve meaningful and sustainable change. From early discovery and problem definition through to delivery, adoption and benefits realisation, you’ll provide strategic thinking, constructive challenge and clear direction.

This is a T-shaped consulting role, combining broad expertise across business analysis, business and enterprise architecture, operating model and service design, and organisational change, with deeper specialist knowledge in geospatial information and data management.

Your geospatial expertise will be important, but this isn’t a traditional or purely technical GIS role. You’ll use your understanding of geospatial information, data and its application to help customers make better strategic and operational decisions, ensuring it is considered as part of the wider business architecture and transformation landscape.

Depending on your experience, you’ll operate with significant autonomy and influence, working closely with senior customer stakeholders, shaping complex transformation programmes and bringing together the right specialists to deliver successful outcomes.

 Responsibilities

• Leading customer discovery, stakeholder workshops and analysis to understand complex business and operational challenges.
• Translating customer needs into clear outcomes, requirements, recommendations and transformation roadmaps.
• Assessing current capabilities across people, process, information, data, technology and governance.
• Developing business and enterprise architectures, capability models, target operating models and future ways of working.
• Supporting organisational change, stakeholder engagement, adoption and benefits realisation.
• Working collaboratively with architects, engineers, analysts, data specialists and delivery teams to turn strategy into practical change.
• Providing specialist expertise in geospatial information and data management within wider business and enterprise architectures.
• Designing approaches for the management, governance, integration and exploitation of complex geospatial and environmental information.
• Applying relevant geospatial standards and principles, including ISO 19100-series and Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards.
• Helping customers use geospatial information and data to improve operational capability, decision-making and business outcomes.

Experience Required

• Significant experience delivering strategic, architecture or transformation consultancy within complex customer environments.
• Broad experience across business analysis, business/enterprise architecture, operating models, organisational change or transformation.
• Strong expertise in geospatial information and data management, ideally demonstrated through complex transformation or architecture programmes.
• Ability to translate complex or ambiguous customer needs into clear outcomes, architectures, recommendations and transformation roadmaps.
• Experience working as a trusted adviser to senior stakeholders and influencing decisions across business and technical teams.
• Strong facilitation and communication skills, with the ability to challenge assumptions and explain complex options, risks and trade-offs clearly.
• Experience working across multidisciplinary teams, bringing together business, data, technology and specialist expertise.
• Ability to operate with a high degree of autonomy, professional judgement and accountability.

Desirable Skills 

• Experience within Defence, National Security, Intelligence, maritime, hydrographic, Central Government or another secure or regulated environment.
• Experience designing target operating models, enterprise architectures or complex transformation programmes.
• Knowledge of geospatial data architecture, governance, metadata, interoperability and spatial/temporal data concepts.
• Familiarity with ISO 19100-series and Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards.
• Experience working with geospatial data in secure, disconnected or bandwidth-constrained environments.
• Relevant professional accreditation such as TOGAF, Chartered Geographer (CGeog), CGeog (GIS), Chartered IT Professional or equivalent experience.
