Job summary

As a Principal Transformation Consultant, you will be responsible for managing key client relationships, ensuring the successful delivery of consulting engagements, and driving business growth. You will act as a strategic partner to senior client stakeholders, helping them navigate complex transformation initiatives, including large-scale cloud migrations and technology modernisation programmes, while expanding the firm’s footprint within the accounts you manage.

A core aspect of the role is consultative-led selling: identifying client needs through deep discovery, shaping compelling value propositions, and converting those into tangible engagements. You will blend strategic advisory with commercial acumen, playing a leading role in both winning and delivering transformation work. You will report to the Transformation Consulting Director, UKI.

Things you will be working on:

Client Partnership & Engagement Delivery

- Serve as the senior point of contact for client stakeholders across transformation initiatives, building trusted advisor relationships at C-level and programme director level.

- Understand clients’ business goals, technology landscape, and transformation drivers, aligning solutions based on the Atlassian stack and related technologies.

- Lead and support delivery teams to ensure smooth execution, quality outcomes, and client satisfaction across complex, multi-workstream programmes.

- Contribute to the coordination and success of transformation projects—including cloud migrations, platform consolidation, and enterprise toolchain modernisation—focusing on measurable business value.

Technology & Transformation

- Bring experience of enterprise technology environments, with a strong understanding of cloud platforms, migration methodologies, and the technical and organisational challenges of moving from on-premise to cloud at scale.

- Guide clients through migration readiness assessments, architecture considerations, and transition planning for digital platforms.

- Stay current with evolving Atlassian capabilities, cloud-native tooling, and wider enterprise technology trends to ensure our advisory is credible, differentiated, and forward-looking.

- Bridge the gap between technical delivery teams and business stakeholders, translating complex technology decisions into clear strategic narratives.

- Knowledge of AI solutions and use cases.

Consultative-Led Selling & Business Development

- Lead consultative selling efforts: conduct structured discovery with clients, identify pain points and opportunities, and shape proposals that connect directly to business outcomes.

- Own and drive account growth strategies for assigned accounts, identifying upsell, cross-sell, and expansion opportunities through ongoing client engagement.

- Collaborate closely with the sales team using MEDDPICC-aligned qualification to progress opportunities from identification through to close.

- Develop compelling Statements of Work, business cases, and go-to-market assets that position Valiantys’s transformation capabilities clearly and credibly.

- Support strategic planning and proposal efforts, contributing commercial and technical insight to pricing, scoping, and risk assessment.

Solution Design & Value Creation

- Co-develop transformation offerings in collaboration with internal practices (e.g. AI, Cloud, ITSM, Agile at Scale).

- Translate business and IT requirements into clear value propositions, project scopes, and transformation roadmaps.

- Contribute to building reusable approaches, templates, and frameworks (e.g. for ITSM transformation, AI, cloud migration, PPPM maturity) that codify Valiantys’s methodology.

Team Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing

- Act as a mentor and sparring partner for consultants at all levels, contributing to knowledge growth, capability development, and team performance.

- Share market intelligence, client insights, and delivery learnings internally to enhance offering development and delivery practices.

-Champion a culture of continuous improvement, professional rigour, and client-centricity across the UKI consulting team.
