Senior Data & AI Advisory Consultant | Remote (SA-based)

We are recruiting on behalf of a growing technology solutions firm whose Advisory and Consulting division is expanding. They need a senior practitioner who can sit in a boardroom, earn executive trust, and then roll up their sleeves and make things real.

What you'll do: You'll embed across multiple client accounts — advising CFOs, CEOs, and boards on where Data and AI can drive genuine impact. You'll lead discovery, co-create strategy, build prototypes and dashboards personally, and hand off complex delivery to specialist teams. This is equal parts advisor and builder.
What we're looking for:

• 10–15+ years in management consulting, technology advisory, or data/AI professional services
• Consulting firm background is essential — you understand billable engagements and multi-client delivery
• Hands-on Power BI proficiency for executive analytics (required)
• Strong grasp of modern data architecture — ETL/ELT, data warehouses, cloud platforms
• Solid understanding of GenAI, agentic frameworks, and workflow automation
• SQL competent; Python advantageous
• Telco or banking/financial services experience a strong plus

Why this role: Real autonomy, direct access to the most senior client stakeholders, and the opportunity to shape a practice still being built. As it grows, so does your leadership responsibility.
If you're a consultant who's tired of advising from a distance and wants to see your recommendations actually land — we'd like to hear from you or if you would like to discuss the role and company in more depth please get in touch with Hayley on 011 46285650
