We’re always happy to hear from people who are eager to learn and grow, and share our values. Read more about the role and apply.
About the role:
As a Director in our Strategy & Transformation team, you'll be a trusted partner to the CIOs and CTOs of some of the world's most ambitious organisations. You'll bring a sharp technical lens to digital strategy, enterprise architecture, and large-scale transformation, balancing high-level strategic oversight with hands‑on architectural design.
You’ll work across industries, bringing structure and clarity to some of the most complex challenges our clients face and you'll do it as part of a collaborative, multi-disciplinary team that genuinely cares about the quality and impact of its work.
At this level, you'll also play a meaningful role in shaping Futurice's own growth, contributing to business development, building long‑term client relationships, and investing in the people around you.
Skills & Requirements:
We’d love to hear from you if you have:
Significant experience in digital, technology, or data strategy – You've worked at the intersection of business and technology for a meaningful stretch of your career (10+ years), and you've done it in more than one context. We care about the depth and scope of what you've done.
Hands‑on technical fluency – You're comfortable across modern technologies: AI, cloud, APIs, enterprise architecture — and you can move between high‑level strategy and detailed design without losing the thread.
Commercial clarity – You can translate a business problem into an architectural direction, and you understand what makes a recommendation land with a CFO as well as a CTO.
Communication that builds trust – You can make complex ideas feel simple without losing their integrity. You're as comfortable in a client boardroom as you are in a working session with an engineering team.
Collaborative influence – You bring people with you. You know how to build alignment across competing stakeholders, and you do it by listening as much as by speaking.
Curiosity over ego is something you genuinely believe in.
Commitment to inclusive leadership – You notice when a room isn't representative, when a decision is being made without enough perspectives, or when someone isn't being heard — and you do something about it. You understand that the best outcomes come from the broadest range of inputs.
Drive for meaningful impact – You connect your work to your clients' bigger picture. You care about doing things well and doing them responsibly, including thinking about the environmental and social impact of the transformation work you lead.
Nice to have: Experience working within or closely with a consultancy, agency, or professional services environment or you have a background in operating model design, digital portfolio management, or enterprise‑scale AI strategy.
What you'll do
In this role, you will:
Architect target states – Design modern technology architectures and enterprise capabilities that directly support our clients' strategic business goals.
Lead complex projects – Oversee end‑to‑end delivery on transformation programmes, ensuring quality, managing client expectations, and keeping an eye on project health.
Advise at C‑level – Build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders, offering guidance that genuinely shapes how clients think about their technology futures.
Guide AI & data transformation – Help clients adopt data and AI responsibly, integrating it into enterprise capabilities in ways that are practical, ethical, and built to last.
Grow the business – Identify and pursue new opportunities, contribute to proposals, and help shape Futurice's presence in the market.
Develop the people around you – Create the conditions for your team to do their best work: removing blockers, sharing knowledge, and championing a culture where everyone's voice counts.
Next steps — who you’ll meet and for what
We aim to make the process clear, human, and respectful of your time:
Recruiter screen (30m) – with someone from our People Team
Case study exercise (60m) – with 2 team members from our Strategy and Tech team
Ways of working & values interview (90m) – with a cross‑functional duo.

What's it like to work here
