About the Role
The Enterprise Strategy team sits within Consulting and focuses on operating model design, large-scale transformation, and value realisation for clients across the Consumer Markets sector - including retail, FMCG, food and beverage, consumer goods, leisure, and hospitality businesses. We help organisations navigate complexity, redesign how they operate, and deliver transformation programmes that drive measurable performance improvement.
We are a highly motivated, collaborative, and diverse team with deep expertise across consumer-facing industries, commercial operations, supply chain, and technology-enabled change.
