# Managing Consultant - Process, Service & Digital Transformation > Phillips Consulting · Lagos, Nigeria (Hybrid) · Full-time · Posted 2026-04-22 **Workplace:** hybrid ## Description Role Summary pcl. is entering a new strategic chapter — pcl. 4.0. Central to this is a sharpened Transformation Pillar with three distinct practice areas: Strategy & Operating Model, Process & Digital Transformation, and People, Culture & Workforce. This role sits at the heart of the Process, Service & Digital Transformation practice as a senior delivery professional. The Managing Consultant will be a primary driver of how pcl. helps our clients redesign broken processes, automate manual workflows, embed AI into operations, and build the digital architecture suitable to compete in a modern economy. This also sometimes requires a compliance audit — it is a forward-looking, client-facing delivery role for someone who is as comfortable in the boardroom as they are in shaping a digital process architecture. The successful candidate will be a credible, technically-grounded consulting professional who can lead complex engagements end-to-end, develop the consultants around them, and contribute meaningfully to pcl.'s growing reputation as a digital transformation partner for Nigerian organisations. **Responsibilities** **1.  Digital Process Consulting & Automation** - Lead client engagements focused on process diagnostics, re-engineering and end-to-end redesign, also identifying inefficiencies and designing leaner, faster, digital-first workflows. - Design and oversee the implementation of workflow automation solutions using tools such as Microsoft Power Automate, Zapier, Zoho Creator, or comparable low-code/no-code platforms. - Embed AI-powered capabilities into client operating processes, from intelligent document processing and decision automation to predictive analytics and AI-assisted service delivery. - Lead digital maturity assessments and define target digital operating states for clients across private sector, public sector, and financial services contexts. - Deliver digital transformation roadmaps that sequence process, technology and people changes into an executable, phased programme of work. **2.  Digital Architecture & Systems Design** - Design and validate scalable digital architectures that connect client workflows, data systems, platforms and reporting aligned to the client's business strategy and IT landscape. - Lead or support the selection and deployment of digital tools, including ERP integrations, PMO tools, CRM platforms, citizen journey systems and data dashboards. - Advise clients on data governance frameworks and help them establish the reporting structures and analytics infrastructure needed to run a data-driven organisation. - Oversee the development of reusable digital products and IP within the practice — templates, toolkits, automation blueprints — that accelerate delivery across pcl. engagements. **3.  Service & Process Redesign** - Lead end-to-end service redesign projects — from stakeholder discovery and current-state mapping through to future-state design, piloting and scaled implementation. - Apply human-centred and lean methodologies to simplify service delivery, reduce cost and improve the experience of customers, citizens or employees. - Embed digital adoption support into process change: helping clients design training, governance and change management that makes digital tools stick. - Support the development and delivery of data governance and analytics frameworks as part of broader transformation engagements. **4.  Information Security & GRC Compliance** - Implement and conduct assessments on ISO 27001, ISO 22301, NDPR, PCIDSS/SSF, etc., and related compliance workstreams. - Integrate security-by-design and data governance principles into digital architectures and process redesign outputs. - Work collaboratively with specialists on the team who hold deep GRC and cybersecurity expertise. **5.  Collaboration & Commercial Awareness** - Work closely with the Client Value Engine and practice leadership to support scoping, proposal input, and engagement design for new transformation mandates — providing subject matter expertise and realistic effort estimates. - Maintain strong client relationships throughout delivery — ensuring the quality of work deepens trust and creates the conditions for continued engagement. - Represent pcl.'s transformation capabilities credibly in client conversations and contribute to thought leadership that raises the practice's profile. **6.  Team Contribution & Knowledge Building** - Manage and mentor consultants and analysts on engagements — setting quality standards, reviewing deliverables and supporting their development. - Champion stronger technical and methodological practice within the team — helping shift the team's centre of gravity toward digital process consulting. - Collaborate across practice areas — working with colleagues in Strategy & Operating Model and People, Culture & Workforce to ensure integrated delivery. - Contribute to the firm's knowledge assets — developing frameworks, case studies and reusable methodology components that raise pcl.'s collective capability. ## Requirements We are looking for a practitioner with depth, intellectual rigour and genuine passion for digital transformation — someone who has seen what great consulting looks like and is ready to deliver it. **You will likely have:** - 10–14 years of experience, with a meaningful portion spent in management consulting, professional services, or digital transformation advisory. - Demonstrated experience leading digital or process transformation engagements — from scoping through delivery — for medium to large organisations. - Hands-on knowledge of process automation tools, workflow platforms, and/or AI-enabled solution design (not just theoretical familiarity). - Experience designing or advising on digital architectures, systems integration, or enterprise technology strategy. - Strong consulting fundamentals: structured problem-solving, executive communication, stakeholder management, and the ability to turn complexity into clear recommendations. - A track record of developing and managing consulting teams, including giving feedback, coaching junior staff, and maintaining delivery quality at scale. - Grounded in information security and GRC frameworks (PCIDSS, ISO 27001, NDPR, etc.) — capable of conducting security assessments and integrating security thinking into transformation work - Familiarity with the Nigerian and broader West African business environment — you understand the operating context our clients face. **You will stand out if you have:** - Experience deploying AI-powered tools into client business processes (document intelligence, predictive analytics, chatbots, automated decisioning). - A background that bridges business consulting and digital/technology delivery — you are not purely one or the other. - Experience working with or pitching to mid-market and growth-stage Nigerian businesses — pcl.'s primary target segment under pcl. 4.0. - Led the development of reusable consulting IP, products or frameworks. - Exposure to the public sector or financial services in a transformation context. ## Apply [Apply at Phillips Consulting](https://apply.workable.com/phillips-consulting/j/99993C7F5B/apply) --- Powered by [Workable](https://www.workable.com)
