The successful candidate will combine Learning & Development consulting, organisational change management, proposal development, facilitation and responsible AI usage. The role supports MENA priorities, with KSA as the primary growth market and government, energy and financial services as sector priorities. One of the two Senior Consultant vacancies will require demonstrated business-level Arabic proficiency.

• Analyse RFP requirements, develop compliance matrices and help create differentiated win themes and client-specific solution stories under tight turnaround times.
• Create proposal slides, capability showcases, credentials, case studies, benchmarks and sector research for MENA partner and account teams.
• Participate in partner reviews, solution workshops and oral presentation preparation; present assigned sections confidently when required.
