Principal Consultant — AI & Digital Transformation

You must be able to sell

Principal Consultants sell consulting mandates. You find the client, build the relationship, write the proposal and win the work. Then you deliver it. This role needs business development experience and management consulting sales experience. Without them, you are unlikely to succeed. If you have no management consulting sales experience and are not ready to learn it, we recommend that you do not apply.

You must work well in a remote-first firm

You plan your own time and find your own new work. You write clearly and keep accurate records. You work with colleagues and clients in different time zones. You need to be at ease working without an office.

Equal opportunities

We welcome applications from everyone. That includes women, parents and carers, and mothers returning to work. It also includes people who have taken a career break or a sabbatical, and people whose role ended because of AI. We judge every application against the same criteria: your consulting and sales experience, or your readiness to learn it. A gap in your CV is not held against you.

How to apply

Answer the questions opposite and submit your CV. We review each application within one working day.

AI transparency note

We use AI to review every CV. The AI reads each CV and compares it with the role criteria. It does not decide anything. A person makes every decision on who goes to interview and who is hired. No decision is made by AI alone.

Our recruitment system has a built-in bias checker. It monitors our recruitment decisions for fairness, equality and transparency.

We apply principles from DIFC Regulation 10 (Data Protection Regulations) and the EU AI Act:

• Human control. A person can review and override the AI at every stage.
• Fairness. If the bias checker flags a possible unfair or discriminatory effect, a person reviews it before we continue.
• Transparency. We tell you that AI is used, what it is used for and how its output is used.
• Explanation. You can ask for a plain explanation of how AI was used in decisions about your application.
• Challenge. You can ask a person to review your application, or raise a complaint.
• Records. We log AI use and human decisions so they can be reviewed.
