They saw how much critical work still depended on spreadsheets, inboxes, supplier portals and the memory of experienced operators. The real process rarely lived in one system. People held the last mile together.\nDuvo is building the Enterprise Execution OS: the shared layer that understands how work really runs, carries it across existing systems and measures the business result.\nOur agents do the work, not just suggest the next step. They gather evidence, make decisions within agreed rules, route exceptions to the right person and update the source system. People keep control wherever judgment or approval is needed. Every action leaves an audit trail.\nWe start with one recurring process and a clear outcome. Every solution carries a contracted 5x ROI guarantee.\nThe role\nAs a Junior Transformation Strategist, you are the insight and output engine beside our Transformation Strategists on our largest accounts.\nOn bigger engagements we need more than technical delivery. We need someone who can take a messy process, find the critical question, get to a clear insight fast, and put it into materials a customer team will act on. Today that work often lands on Forward Deployed Engineers. That is the wrong use of a scarce technical resource. This role exists so that insight work has a dedicated owner.\nYou will work alongside Transformation Strategists (who own day-to-day account presence and workstream direction) and Forward Deployed Engineers (who own the technical solution). You do not own the executive relationship or the commercial outcome. You own the speed and quality of the analytical and written work that makes those conversations possible.\nThis is a fungible problem-solving role. You will be thrown at different accounts and different problem types (category, supply chain, finance ops, inventory, commercial) and expected to produce. Ideal for someone currently ~2-4 years into a client-facing career as an Associate, Senior Associate, or Consultant at McKinsey or BCG who wants concentrated ownership, not another staffing cycle.\nWe want to hire two people into this role quickly.\nWhat you will do\n1. Get to the insight\nDive into how work actually happens: interviews, extracts, handoffs, exceptions and the workarounds people use to keep things running.\n\nBuild a fact base that shows where cost, cash, service, cycle time or control is being lost.\n\nForm a hypothesis early, name what would kill it, and pressure-test it with the Transformation Strategist before you polish anything.\n\nStructure unfamiliar problems without waiting for a perfect brief. Frame the selection equation (what matters, what does not) so the team and the customer can decide.\n\n2. Deliver output that moves a decision\nTurn analysis into decision-ready slides, one-pagers and memos that make the important choice obvious.\n\nBe exact about baselines, assumptions and evidence. Do not use polish to hide uncertainty.\n\nWork fast: same-day or next-day turnarounds on defined asks are the norm, not the exception.\n\nProduce materials a Transformation Strategist can take into a working session or steerco with minimal rewrite.\n\n3. Be fungible surge capacity on big accounts\nPlug into multiple live enterprise accounts as extra hands where the Transformation Strategist needs analytical depth.\n\nJump between problem types without needing a long ramp each time.\n\nKeep a clean trail of actions, open questions and evidence so work can be handed between you, the Transformation Strategist and the FDE without loss.\n\nSurface blockers early; do not sit on ambiguity hoping it resolves.\n\n4. Build the evidence for impact\nHelp lock baseline, target and measurement window before implementation.\n\nQuantify results in language a CFO would trust (revenue, margin, cost, working capital, cycle time, control), not activity counts or sentiment.\n\nInvestigate misses as carefully as wins, and turn both into clear evidence packs the Transformation Strategist can use upstairs.\n\n5. Stay close to the customer team (working level)\nOwn relationships with operators and mid-level owners who live the process day to day.\n\nPrepare working sessions, capture decisions and follow commitments through.\n\nKnow when a question needs a senior call and escalate early rather than bluffing.\n\nYou will not own commercial negotiations, board-level relationships or technical build. You will own the craft and pace of the insight work that makes those outcomes possible.\nSkills and capabilities we will assess\nThese are explicit. We will hire against them.\nStructured problem solving. Hypothesis-driven. You can take an unfamiliar operation apart, find the critical question, write a kill criterion, and give a clear recommendation without hiding behind a framework.\n\nAnalytical speed and numeracy. Comfortable with messy data and incomplete information. You build analyses that are concise, correct and decision-ready under time pressure.\n\nWritten and slide craft. Your decks and memos are tight. First page says the answer. Evidence follows. A partner or Transformation Strategist can use your output with light edit, not a rewrite.\n\nInsight generation. You do not stop at describing the process. You find where value is lost and what to change first.\n\nFungibility. You can be dropped onto a new account or a new problem type and produce within days, not weeks.\n\nDelivery bias. You stay after the framing is done. You follow actions through. You notice what is not working and help fix it.\n\nCustomer judgment at working level. You listen well, ask a direct question and communicate clearly with operators and managers. You know when to escalate.\n\nAI-native personal workflow. You use AI seriously to accelerate research, analysis and drafting, and you remain responsible for the quality of what goes in front of a customer.\n\nEarly-stage working style. You move without perfect instructions, write in plain English and surface bad news early.\n\nWho we are looking for\nCurrently an Associate, Senior Associate or Consultant (or equivalent) at McKinsey or BCG, typically ~2-4 years of core, client-facing consulting experience. Bain and other top strategy firms can fit if the craft is the same.\n\nA track record of producing high-quality analyses and slides that partners and clients actually used to decide.\n\nEvidence you can work quickly without sacrificing rigor.\n\nComfort operating as surge capacity across problems rather than owning a single long study end to end alone.\n\nHelpful but not required: retail, CPG, supply chain, logistics, inventory or finance operations exposure; prior startup or early-stage experience.\nWhat good looks like after 12 months\nTransformation Strategists on our largest accounts treat you as the person they call when they need a sharp fact base, a clean deck or a second pair of eyes on an insight, within hours not days.\n\nYou have supported multiple accounts and problem types without losing quality.\n\nAt least one measured process change carries analysis and evidence you built.\n\nYour templates, diagnostics and slide patterns are reused by the next Junior Transformation Strategist.\n\nFDEs on those accounts spend their time on technical delivery, not insight decks.\n\nThis role is not for you if\nYou want to own the C-level relationship, commercial negotiation or full transformation roadmap from day one. That is the Transformation Strategist / Senior path.\n\nYou only enjoy the framing phase and lose interest once the work becomes detailed.\n\nYou need perfectly clean data, a large analyst team or complete instructions before you can make progress.\n\nYou see slides as the final product rather than a tool to help a customer decide and act.\n\nYou want to build automations or live in the technical weeds. That is the Forward Deployed Engineer role.\n\nYou want a narrow, single-account BA role with little variety or visible accountability.\n\nWhy leave McKinsey or BCG for this\nYour insight work lands in live enterprise operations with a contracted 5x ROI, not in a forgotten sharepoint.\n\nYou sit beside Transformation Strategists and FDEs on real accounts, so you see recommendation through to adoption.\n\nYou get concentrated ownership of analytical craft instead of being staffed for utilization.\n\nDirect access to founders, customers and decisions in a small team.\n\nCompetitive compensation and meaningful equity, with flexibility between cash and ownership.\n\nA clear path: strong Juniors become Transformation Strategists who own day-to-day account momentum.\n\nHow we work\nOwn it. The bar is not “I flagged it.” It is “I moved it forward.” An 80% fix today often beats a perfect answer next week.\n\nStay close to the customer. Know their real day better than the process document.\n\nProve it and say it straight. Measure before you propose. Share bad news when you have it.\n\nUse AI and work in public. We use AI on our own work and remain responsible for the output. We write things down in English so someone who missed the meeting can still follow.\n\nBring intensity and judgment. A good answer can still lose if it arrives too late. The pace is high because the team is small and the customer work is live.\n\nLocation and travel\nThis role is UK-based. You will need to be living in the UK, or relocating there before you start, and able to travel to client sites from there. Expect regular travel and periods on site with customers for several days in a week when projects are live.\nWhat we offer\nCompetitive compensation and meaningful equity, with flexibility in the balance between cash and ownership.\n\nDirect access to founders, customers and decisions.\n\nThe budget and autonomy to use the best AI tools available.\n\nA product already producing measured results in live enterprise operations.\n\nThe chance to build a career at the intersection of consulting, operations and AI-led transformation.\n\nHow we hire\nWe respect your time and move fast:\nScreening call.\n\nHiring manager interview. Fit on problem-solving craft, pace and whether this is the right altitude for you.\n\nCase study panel. A live enterprise problem that tests structure, numbers, prioritisation and clear communication (including slide / written output).\n\nCEO interview. A candid discussion about the role, Duvo and whether this is the environment for you.\n\nWe move quickly and give direct feedback throughout.","description_format":"text","description_chars":10353,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Workflow & Process Automation (RPA, BPM)","AI Agents"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T16:45:51Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Skilled Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Skilled Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-27T06:21:15+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":29,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.531,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":31,"expected_fill_days":31,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","win:tail","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/duvo-junior-transformation-strategist-uk-based","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/duvo-junior-transformation-strategist-uk-based.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T08:18:52Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":9221,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":673327},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=673327"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fduvo-junior-transformation-strategist-uk-based"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fduvo-junior-transformation-strategist-uk-based"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fduvo-junior-transformation-strategist-uk-based"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/duvo-junior-transformation-strategist-uk-based\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fduvo-junior-transformation-strategist-uk-based"}]}
