Consulting Director

We started Lonsdale Solutions in 2009 because we saw that our clients needed more than just project delivery, they needed project leadership across their digital, business transformation & technology initiatives.

Our Consultants are dedicated professionals who adapt and lead. We’re committed to our clients and their agendas. We believe in taking a long-term view of working together and our advice is always honest and independent. We are empathetic and provide focus, calm and expertise. We take pride in lifting the capability of our clients through the journey.

In May 2021 we were certified as a B Corporation as we believe that business can be a force for good, creating benefit for our clients, employees, community and the environment through our work. We’re a purpose-driven consulting company and commit a percentage of our revenue to philanthropy aligned with our employee’s passions.

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about leading great transformation outcomes for their clients from strategy articulation to solution implementation and optimisation.
