Senior Consultant - BPO Sourcing & Advisory

The opportunity

As a Senior Consultant at Proxima, you will lead complex Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) workstreams within our Professional Services category and manage senior stakeholders while delivering innovative solutions and mentoring junior consultants. You will be part of client-facing teams delivering high-impact commercial and supplier initiatives, supporting the development of insights, contributing to solution design, and playing an active role in delivering outcomes, not just recommendations.

This is a subject matter expert role for professionals with deep BPO market experience who want to apply that expertise in a consulting environment. You will help large corporate clients evaluate, source, negotiate, optimize, and transform complex outsourced service arrangements.

You may have worked for a leading BPO service provider, advised clients on outsourcing strategies and transactions, or managed significant outsourced service relationships within a large organization. You will bring a strong understanding of the provider landscape, commercial models, BPO economics, contracting structures, and how automation, AI, and digital transformation are reshaping the market.

This is not a passive learning role. At Proxima, we are practitioner-consultants. You will build experience quickly, take responsibility early, and work alongside clients to deliver real, measurable change.
