Senior Director, Strategy
Full-time
About Us
Slalom is a fiercely human consulting company focused on end-to-end business transformation enabled by technology. With 20-plus years of experience and operating in 45+ markets around the world, Slalom teams have the autonomy to move fast and do what's right for our clients.
After launching our Auckland office in February 2023, we are continuing to grow, and this role is another opportunity to start your journey with Slalom and help us shape the future.
About the Role
As a Senior Director in our Strategy capability, you will be the “tip of the spear” for our market solutions in New Zealand. This is a foundational leadership hire responsible for building our local strategy capability and driving business-led outcomes for our clients.
You will work directly with the local leadership team to engage C-suite and Board-level stakeholders, translating complex business challenges into clear digital and transformation roadmaps. Rather than focusing on the purely technical aspects of strategy, you will bridge the gap between business objectives and technology enablement—particularly in high-demand areas like AI and data—telling the story of transformation and helping customers navigate the journey to where they need to be.
What You'll Bring
Strategic gravitas: demonstrated experience operating at a Director or Senior Director level with the credibility to influence C-suite executives and Board members
Transformation expertise: a proven track record of leading complex digital transformations and articulating them to help clients visualise their own journey
Business-first perspective: deep competence in business and corporate strategy, with the ability to explain how Data, AI, and ERP drive key KPIs
Professional services background: strong experience within professional services or consulting environments
Customer Experience (CX) focus: ideally experience in CX or service design to help incubate and scale these capabilities in the New Zealand market
Ambiguity management: the ability to thrive in an ambiguous, fast-paced environment and move programs from high-level strategy into successful delivery
Industry insight: backgrounds in finance or supply chain are considered a strong advantage
