Strong desire to work in technology-driven business transformation and curiosity around opportunities and threats posed by innovation and industry convergence. Knowledge of industry operations, dynamics, and trends in one or more of the following industries: Financial Services, Media, Technology, Retail, Energy, Utilities, Government and Not for Profit. Knowledge of enterprise architecture and the ability to see ‘the big picture’ and bring multiple solutions to solve problems. Knowledge of, and passion for, technology trends. Intellectual capacity to develop creative and breakthrough solutions. Strong analytical skills, understanding of complex issues, the ability to quickly absorb information, conceptual and creative problem-solving excellence. Proficiency in new ways of working (Agile, DevOps) and technology modernisation. Familiarity with cloud platforms, automation, and modern enterprise technologies. Experience advising senior management and driving transformation initiatives. First class written and verbal communication skills; the ability to articulate complex problems and solutions in a simple, logical, and impactful manner. Degree educated. The sort of person we are looking for: Highly adaptable and flexible in thinking style

– We often find ourselves working across a variety of contexts and a ‘simple’ challenge turns out to be much more complex than it first appears. You need to be able to quickly join the dots together and develop a plan to move forward. You also need to be able to adapt that plan when it is not working. Collaborative in working style

– This is one of our key differentiators. It’s not about being the smartest person in the room but instead helping to bring different stakeholders together to create a solution that works for the business. There is a “we” not “I” mindset. Genuinely care about your clients and colleagues and help them to succeed

– When Q5 was founded it was to be more than a typical, transactional consulting firm. We are genuine partners with our clients focused on their long-term success, which means we hire people who are wired to care, be empathetic and get joy from seeing others succeed. Can build trusted relationships and bring people on the journey

– One of the things our clients say about us is that we are able to bring people together and take them on the journey. This role will require building (and sustaining) people trust and engaging key people in the business to craft the right answer. Resilient in the face of challenges, tight timelines and demanding clients

– We continually strive to create a positive working environment, but the reality of our work is that it is hard and therefore not for everyone. The people who succeed at Q5 can work under the pressure without losing their sense of humour or care for others. You get your hands dirty and step-up

– We have a flat structure. If you enjoy getting stuck into a client’s challenge, pushing the team forward and solving problems with others you will thrive. We pride ourselves on developing our junior team members and creating supportive environments where people can bring their true selves to work (and in turn do their best work). We're firm believers that everyone needs to roll up their sleeves to get the job done! Unique and offers something special

– We don’t do cookie-cutter or formulaic and we need people who think differently, are intensely curious about solving our clients’ problems and stand-out from the crowd.
