PROJECT BUSINESS MANAGER
- London, England

About The Role
We are a technology delivery partner, offering a unique service in the undiscovered sweet spot between consultancy and capability development. There’s a better way to deliver consulting services. We do that by freeing our customers from dependency in everything we do.
We free them from relying on external sourcing by delivering on their complex technology challenges at pace with expert teams. And we eliminate their dependence on suppliers by creating the in-house technical capability they’ll need to build tomorrow. The quality of our people and teams hinges on our associate model. This is how we work with our community of un-benched, ego-free consultants to mobilise services within 14 days.
