Our three domains - Strategy & Transformation, Data & Intelligence, and Technology Risk & Compliance - deliver integrated advisory and technology services that enable clients to act on insight, scale with agility, and embed AI across their operations.

We don't just advise - we build. We craft vehicles of change, design and implement intelligent operating models, and deploy AI-enabled teams and products to drive measurable outcomes.

You will act as a market-maker, leading strategic pursuits and cultivating senior client relationships (C-suite and board level) to open new doors across innovation-driven industries.

As a member of the Riverflex Leadership Team, you'll shape the company's commercial strategy and play a key role in evolving our AI-powered consulting model.

Team & Capability Building

  • Build and lead a core consulting team in the UK (5-10 people in year one).

  • Coach and mentor future leaders, fostering a growth oriented, entrepreneurial culture.

  • Collaborate with Riverflex's global network of consultants ("PROs") to deliver flexible and scalable project teams.

  • Support the professional development of sales and consulting colleagues by sharing expertise, tools, and go to market insights.

About You

  • 15+ years of experience in consulting, consultative sales, business development, or technology enabled transformation.
