Slalom is a purpose-driven consulting company focused on strategy, technology, and business transformation. Founded in 2001, we had a simple goal - build a company where people love their work and love their life. As we continue to grow in Australia, we have a responsibility and opportunity to do good in the world. We’re committed to building our business in ways that are sustainable and responsible, while creating innovative solutions to the world’s biggest challenges. We have bold aspirations for the future and together with our people, partners, and customers, we take measurable actions for today.

The Strategy team Slalom's Strategy team helps our clients re-imagine what's possible, when making the most of technology and modern ways of working. As a Strategy Consultant, you will lead from the front, working in both team-based projects, interacting with clients, assisting with pre-sales pursuits, and providing mentoring to more junior consultants.

The Role: Strategist & Value Architect – Principal We’re looking for someone who has truly lived and breathed business casing: someone who has led it, delivered value, and understands it not just from a business strategy perspective, but also from a technology strategy lens. The right person will be capable of taking a business case and using it as a foundation to drive action. Ideally, they’ve done this before across projects, initiatives, ROI analysis, and more. The role also involves value architecture: connecting strategy all the way through to initiatives. It’s about tying everything together: vision, mission, values, and execution.

What You Will Do In this role, you'll work with your colleagues in Strategy and in other capability teams to help shape work, sell it, and execute it, all in a client-facing capacity. Our team is invigorated by new challenges and aren’t shy to seek out new learning opportunities or challenge the status quo. We need someone who’s a subject matter expert and can also guide and upskill others in the team in how to develop strong business cases.

What keeps us here? When we moved to Australia in 2020, we had no idea just how important our work/life balance would need to be. We’ve asked our consultants what makes Slalom a great place to work and the most common answer – “the freedom to be ourselves when life gets in the way”. We make a big effort to bring everyone together and allow space when space is needed. We believe in helping each other thrive in work and life and are proud to invest in benefits that include holistic wellbeing, meaningful allowances, and investment in our team’s professional, technical, and personal growth.
