POSITION HIGHLIGHTS

Technology Consulting consultants work with Protiviti’s clients, who are typically among the world’s leading companies. As a consultant, you collaborate with the team to deliver client solutions for complex business problems these organizations face. Experience tells us that our future leaders need to be both knowledgeable and deep in an area of expertise but also versatile, having a broad range of capabilities and skill sets to solve today’s complex business problems. That’s why we focus on developing consultants across our business, so you gain experience in different industries, grow your technical capabilities, and gain leadership qualities that will ensure your future success.

Our culture is grounded in empowerment, teamwork, and problem-solving. At all career levels, we encourage innovation, seeking your ideas and insights. Our people care about one another; they coach, guide, and help each team member to be their very best.

When you join our team, you will participate in Passport to Protiviti, our award-winning onboarding program. You will also attend The Consulting Challenge, an experiential learning course that will help you transition successfully into your role as a consultant. As a consultant, you will be a part of Foundations, Protiviti’s innovative entry-level career approach, which provides you with experiences and learning opportunities in business operations, consulting, data, relationship building, technology, and innovation. This Foundations experience will enable you to learn from diverse project experiences while guiding your skill development, preparing you for the next step in your career journey.

Technology Consulting consultants will experience a variety of projects. Each project experience is designed to fuel your curiosity, uncover hidden strengths, and most importantly, prepare you for the next career level. Consultants learn from the best management team in an effort to develop an understanding of business processes and build technical skills in general risk areas. Consultants compile and analyze data and document findings through client engagements. Through interaction with client and project team personnel, consultants develop professional relationships that contribute to exceptional client service. A successful consultant learns effective time and task management, takes ownership of assignments, and accepts responsibility for team results.

With each project, you receive hands-on training in a nurturing environment and interact with leaders across our practice. Talent Managers will partner with you to line up specific project experiences that support your career goals, your skills, and the needs of the business. A network of coaches will help you navigate challenges and celebrate milestones. There will be many opportunities to join committees, participate in employee network groups, enjoy social, civic, and networking activities to aid in building meaningful relationships across the firm and in the community.

Technology Consulting consultants are hired into one of the eight specific solution segments, including:

• Business Platform Transformation: The Business Platform Transformation segment focuses on delivering the right technology solutions to meet a client’s functional needs through facilitating application strategies, providing development innovations and commercial application implementation services, and ensuring security, compliance, and sustainability of solutions. The team supports organizations along their end-to-end transformation journey, delivering tailored modern application solutions to optimize business processes in advisory, development, deployment, or support capacity.

• Emerging Technologies Group: Covers a wide range of work, including Internet of Things (IoT) penetration testing, intelligent automation, artificial intelligence/machine learning, and quantum computing. This team specializes in conducting a variety of penetration testing approaches such as hardware, web/mobile applications, Bluetooth, and other RF technologies. The devices this segment has historically tested have been primarily medical devices/telecom/consumer product-related; however, the rapid growth of IoT devices presents an opportunity to test several types of devices as they emerge.

• Enterprise Cloud: Works with business and technology stakeholders to help shape and modernize technology in the cloud. The cloud team focuses on providing robust offerings to help organizations build their cloud strategy plans and roadmap, implement and migrate to the cloud, and become more efficient and optimized using the cloud.

• Enterprise Data and Analytics: Works on the process of harnessing data (internal and external to the organization) to generate valuable insights that can drive the operations and strategy of an organization. Various disciplines are involved in Enterprise Data & Analytics, including data source identification and analysis, data engineering, data visualization, and data science/machine learning. The disciplines range from gathering and preparing the data for consumption to consuming this data to diagnose issues, predict future outcomes, and provide prescriptive solutions to challenges in the organization.

• Microsoft: With a unique blend of industry and technology expertise, Microsoft helps organizations drive greater value in their Microsoft investment. Working closely with Microsoft as Protiviti’s premier ecosystem partner, the team helps clients execute strategy by harnessing the power of Microsoft to enhance collaboration and increase productivity through modernization initiatives across both the business and technology. The Microsoft team works closely with Protiviti solution and industry teams to provide end-to-end support by understanding specific client needs and tailoring appropriate solutions using Microsoft technologies.

• Security and Privacy: Helps organizations prevent theft or help protect sensitive data and assets. The Security and Privacy team builds partnerships by conducting risk assessments and technical testing, identifying security weaknesses in client systems, and providing strategic recommendations to deal with vulnerabilities and enhance overall cyber security posture. They help organizations prepare for and detect cyber-attacks or other crisis events and take necessary corrective steps in real-life situations.

• Technology Risk and Resilience: Works with business and technology stakeholders to enable competitive advantage by managing both technology risk and organizational resilience across the organization. We do this by promoting a cohesive culture that enables the building of consistent and resilient business practices within a mature risk management program. The team is skilled in all phases of risk and resilience, from understanding global regulatory requirements and leading practices to designing and implementing right-sized capabilities throughout the business, technology/ cybersecurity, and third-party risk management lifecycles. This team is well-positioned to identify risks, translate those risks into actionable needs, and deploy skilled delivery teams to operationalize as needed.

• Technology Strategy and Architecture: Helps clients understand and improve how they use technology and how technology can enable them to meet their big-picture strategies. The Technology Strategy and Architecture team works closely with all of the other technology-related practices at Protiviti because we help their leadership plan and strategize. Our Transform Program Execution sub-segment team works with the Enterprise Application Solutions leaders when they are implementing a new tool and need assistance with project management for that implementation.
