What You'll Do

We are looking for an IT Consultant with experience in delivering technology transformation programmes, particularly within the UK public sector (NHS, Government, MOD, MOJ, Local or Central Government). You will bring hands-on expertise in systems implementation, functional & technical design, testing, and data migration, with a focus on Oracle Cloud HCM modules such as Core HR, Payroll, Talent Management, Recruiting as well as Oracle ME and other relevant foundational technologies and frameworks.

The role will enable you to be part of a team driving meaningful change across the UK public sector.

You will deploy customized IT strategies, digital platforms and architecture in order to leverage the digital potential of our customers with state of the art tools such as cloud computing, AI, blockchain, microservices and containerization. You will be responsible for specific parts of the project and will evaluate and coach our clients’ technology teams, manage quality and risk while maintaining client expectations and escalations. You’ll develop ground-breaking projects by enabling our clients to effectively use agile methods and modern approaches in the context of strategic IT implementation.

You will work on a variety of technology topics, applying your technical consulting skills to strategic technology questions. You will also be supported by an extensive training curriculum, plus technology-specific training and mentoring to help build upon you technical skills. You will also help guide junior members of the team, help with project proposals, client care, building relationships with peers and identifying new business opportunities.
