Business Consultant
Work closely with clients to understand real business challenges, then shape practical data and AI solutions that create meaningful commercial outcomes.
Datamine has been a leader in data, analytics and AI for over 30 years. We're seeking a Business Consultant who can step into a client environment, quickly understand the real issues our clients are facing and bring clarity, structure and direction to complex business challenges, helping turn insight into commercially valuable outcomes.
Not just ideas. Not just frameworks. Work that actually lands.
About the role
In this role, you’ll work as part of the delivery team, leading end-to-end client engagements from early discovery through to delivery, working closely with senior stakeholders to shape thinking, design solutions, and ensure what we deliver creates real impact.
A key part of the role is diagnosing the root of the problem, not just responding to what’s been asked. You’ll also play a vital role in growing client relationships, identifying opportunities, challenging thinking, and helping clients see what’s possible.
This role suits someone who enjoys working with a high degree of autonomy, is comfortable with ambiguity, and takes ownership of outcomes.
At Datamine, we’re all individuals. You’ll find no boxes. In fact, one of our values is “don’t just tick the box!”
No two days look exactly the same, but your work will typically involve:
Leading discovery sessions, workshops, and stakeholder conversations to bring structure to complex business challenges and opportunities
Leading client engagements across multiple projects or workstreams, ensuring clarity, direction, and momentum
Diagnosing root causes behind business challenges and designing practical data and AI-led solutions
Building trusted relationships with senior stakeholders and acting as a strategic advisor
Challenging client thinking and helping shape future opportunities
Ensuring delivery creates meaningful commercial value for both clients and Datamine
Identifying risks early and working proactively to keep delivery on track
Collaborate with internal teams to shape solutions and guide implementation
You’ll likely thrive in this role if:
You’ve led consulting engagements end-to-end in a commercial environment
You’re comfortable working with senior stakeholders and building trust quickly
You’re commercially aware and understand how your work creates value
You’re highly organised and stay on top of multiple moving pieces
You understand how data, analytics, and AI create value in a business context
You can translate complex ideas into clear, practical insights
You naturally ask “why?” and look for root causes
You can take ambiguity and turn it into clear, structured direction
You proactively identify opportunities rather than waiting to be asked
You’re people-smart and approach clients with empathy and curiosity
You’ll fit right in at Datamine if you have:
At least 5 years of experience in consulting or a similar role
A degree, likely commercial, business, or analytics-related
Experience applying consulting frameworks in real client environments
Strong written and verbal communication skills
A proactive, ownership mindset
The ability to balance detail with the bigger picture
