Fusion's clients across pharma, biotech and medtech are under pressure to turn data and AI from isolated initiatives into a source of competitive advantage. The Senior Strategy Consultant, Data AI and Technology is a senior advisory role within our Data Office, responsible for shaping how clients think about data, AI and technology at the highest level and translating that thinking into strategies leadership can act on.

The role is both strategic and hands on: leading client conversations from first workshop to final recommendation, while staying close enough to the underlying technology to challenge and guide the teams that build it. You will help clients decide where to invest, how to govern what they build and how to sequence change across a complex, regulated business.

Key responsibilities include:

Define and communicate data, AI and technology strategies that align with client business objectives
Lead client workshops, steering committees and executive discussions from design through follow-up
Build and present business cases for data and AI investments, tied to measurable value
Shape governance models for data and AI that clients can operate sustainably, not just adopt on paper
Guide clients through technology and platform decisions without owning the technical build
Translate complex technical topics into insight leadership can act on, including through strong visual storytelling
Manage senior stakeholder relationships and align competing agendas across functions
Coach client teams and Fusion colleagues on structured problem solving and strategic communication
