Managing Consultant – Strategy, Data & AI

Shape Strategies. Deliver Impact. Make Transformation Last. 

At Fusion, we help life sciences companies turn Data & AI into real business value, from strategy through implementation to lasting success. 

We are looking for a Managing Consultant who combines strategic thinking, structured problem solving, and a strong drive for implementation. In this role, you will lead Data & AI strategy engagements, advise senior client management, and make sure strategies turn into real results. 

This is not a traditional strategy consulting role. 

We don’t stop at the strategy deck. You will connect strategy, implementation, and long-term client partnership. 

Your Mission 

You will lead Data & AI strategy engagements end to end, from structuring the client’s challenge to developing strategies, roadmaps, and operating models. 

From there, you will make sure strategies are implemented correctly. You will steer transformation programs, track value realization, and keep strategic intent intact throughout delivery. 

At the same time, you will build trusted relationships with senior client stakeholders, develop your team, and identify opportunities for long-term partnerships.
