Connect to your Industry

Connect to your Industry (FS)

Our people and the way we work are the two things that set us apart in the consulting universe. For us, collaboration is fundamental to success, along with an unrivalled depth and breadth of expertise. We work closely with our clients and each other, at every stage of every project, solving our clients' trickiest problems with a mix of knowledge, creativity, and intellectual rigour. A hugely diverse range of clients rely on us to deliver the kind of change that adds genuine, lasting value to their business.

Our Investment and Wealth Management clients engage us to solve their most complex problems, and to help shape and deliver solutions in a rapidly changing marketplace. We harness our deep industry experience across front, middle and back office to collaboratively drive transformational change and make lasting impacts.

Want to work with the latest technologies as part of a team helping international organisations transform their core business capabilities? Whether you're working with on-premises systems, Cloud technology, or custom developed solutions (to name just a few), your expertise will help clients deliver continuous improvement and innovation, from initial design right through to implementation and optimization.

As a leader within the business, you will have the opportunity to seek out and deliver Cloud and Data projects alongside our global delivery capability, share learnings and be given the opportunity to continually learn and develop yourself. If you have hands on experience at delivering technical projects, a good understanding of any of the main Cloud Providers and/or are proficient in realising the potential of an organisation's data, then we are looking for you.

Connect to your career at Deloitte

Deloitte drives progress. Using our vast range of expertise, we help our clients' become leaders wherever they choose to compete. To do this, we invest in outstanding people. We build teams of future thinkers, with diverse talents and backgrounds, and empower them all to reach for and achieve more.

Whatever we do, wherever we are in the world, we lead the way, serve with integrity, take care of each other , foster inclusion, and collaborate for measurable impact. These five shared values lead every decision we make and action we take, guiding us to deliver impact how and where it matters most .

Connect to your opportunity

As an Associate Director within Cloud & Engineering, you will be a leader within our business that can make a huge impact on our clients and ourselves. Some of the key items that would come from the role are the ability to:

Ideally you will have experience across at least one major Cloud Service Provider (e.g. Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud) and an understanding of multi-cloud implementations.
• Harness the power of the Cloud and deliver on our clients' strategies and ambitions to make them more efficient, agile, and resilient than ever before. For example, how cloud can improve business processes, reduce costs and deliver new products or functionality.
• Unlock new, tangible, and actionable insights through data and support our clients on their journey to being data driven. For example, through tools such as Power BI, Tableau or experience with Cloud native tooling such as AWS Quick Sight or Azure Monitor.
• Get excited by new and interesting challenges that only Cloud, Data and Deloitte can solve for our clients.
• Drive a culture of continuous improvement by assessing performance, gathering feedback, and implementing lessons learned to enhance future Cloud delivery processes.
• Coach and mentor team members.
• Build and foster technical communities, supporting the growth of our methods and tools.
• Lead and inspire cross-functional teams, fostering a collaborative and innovative culture, and ensuring effective communication and coordination among team members. For example, the ability to lead a team of front-end, back-end and architects from across our practise to deliver an outcome.

• Subject matter expertise within Cloud and its impact on the (re)insurance industries in terms of digital transformation and customer & colleague experience.
• Excellent ability in common project delivery tooling, such as JIRA, Slack, Confluence, and the Microsoft suite.
• You can speak business and technology. Someone who can understand technical challenges and opportunities and translate them for wider audiences and the path forward.
• You've been hands-on. The best of way of learning and understanding is doing. Someone who understands and can communicate the challenges and experiences of using the Cloud and unlocking value.

Other experience and characteristics that we would be looking for include:

Personal independence

Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints (e.g., in relation to any financial interests and employment relationships). This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm). The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress through the recruitment process or you can contact the Independence team upon request.
