Consulting Manager (AI & Transformation)
About Us
Sullivan & Stanley is deliberately not a traditional consulting firm. We exist to challenge ineffective change and outdated consulting models, replacing them with work that is practical, human and built to deliver.
We combine strategy, execution, technology and community to help organisations move faster and change better. No theatre. No unnecessary complexity. Just work that stands up in the real world. We’re building a high-trust, high-accountability environment for people who take ownership, follow through, and care about the impact of their work.
We are also on a mission to change business for good in shaping organisations that are fit for the future.
The Role
This is not a passenger role.
As a Consulting Manager, you lead from the front, owning delivery, shaping client outcomes, and setting the standard for how consulting should be done.
You will operate as the trusted day-to-day lead for clients, translating ambiguity into structure and strategy into execution.
You are equally comfortable:
- Leading senior client conversations
- Driving delivery at pace
- Coaching consultants
- And making clear, commercially sound decisions
What You’ll Do
- Own delivery of engagements or critical workstreams end-to-end
- Turn complex problems into clear, executable plans
- Build credibility quickly with senior stakeholders
- Lead, stretch and support consultants to deliver high-quality work
- Drive momentum by removing blockers and maintaining focus on outcomes
- Identify risks early and deal with them directly
- Contribute to winning and shaping new work
- Uphold high standards across delivery, communication and output
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
AI & Data Focus
You will operate at the intersection of business and technology, helping clients apply AI where it genuinely creates value.
This means:
- Translating business challenges into practical AI and data solutions
- Cutting through hype to focus on what will actually work
- Advising on data readiness, governance and adoption
- Leading pilots and building confidence through delivery
- Engaging credibly with technical teams without needing to be hands-on
You don’t need to build models but you do need to understand enough to challenge, guide and decide.
What We’re Looking For
- 6–8+ years in consulting or complex transformation environments
- A track record of owning delivery and making things happen
- Strong judgement, you know when to go deep and when to move
- Ability to operate with pace, structure and accountability
- Credibility with senior stakeholders
- Experience leading and developing others
- Commercial awareness and contribution to growth
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You’ll likely stand out if you:
- Have worked on AI, data or technology-enabled transformation
- Can bridge strategy and execution without losing either
- Bring clarity and direction in ambiguous situations
What Success Looks Like
- Clients trust you and want to work with you again
- Work gets delivered to a high standard, without drama
- Teams you lead are clearer, stronger and more effective
- You contribute to growing the business, not just delivering within it
How We Work
- We say what we mean
- We do what we say
- We support each other
- We take responsibility
Why Join Us
- Real ownership and autonomy
- Meaningful, visible impact on clients and the firm
- A team of high-calibre, low-ego operators
- Ongoing investment in your development
- Flexible benefits including pension, enhanced parental leave, wellbeing support and more
Our Commitment
We’re building a diverse, inclusive environment where different perspectives are valued and expected. We hire for capability, judgement and potential and we hold a high bar.
Final Note
This role isn’t for everyone.
It suits people who:
- Take ownership without waiting to be asked
- Are comfortable with ambiguity
- Care about doing the work properly
- And want to help build something, not just be part of it
