We are seeking an Associate to lead significant workstreams of advisory and transformation engagements across the UAE and wider Middle East.

You will join an established client engagement and play a key role in supporting the client's ongoing transformation journey. Working closely with senior client stakeholders and delivery teams, you will be expected to quickly establish credibility, understand organisational priorities and provide leadership across critical workstreams.

The role requires a combination of strategic thinking, delivery leadership and stakeholder management, helping clients improve performance and strengthen organisational capability.

As a client facing consultant, you will be expected to spend a proportion of your week working from client locations in Abu Dhabi, working directly with stakeholders to shape solutions, support implementation and ensure successful delivery of transformation outcomes.
