Information Management Consultant

Sword is a leading provider of business technology solutions within the Energy, Public and Finance Sectors, driving transformational change within our clients.  We use proven technology, specialist teams and domain expertise to build solid technical foundations across platforms, data, and business applications.  We have a passion for using technology to solve business problems, working in partnership with our clients to help in achieving their goals.

About the Role:

As an Information Management Consultant, you’ll play a key role in helping our clients take control of their data and documents – not just to stay compliant, but to work smarter, faster, and with confidence.

You’ll work directly with a range of energy sector clients to design, deliver, and embed modern IM strategies, digital solutions, and business process improvements. This is a hands-on consulting role where no two days are the same – one day you might be mapping out an IM improvement roadmap with a client, the next you could be delivering workshops, reviewing tools, or developing best practice guidance.

This is a fantastic opportunity to help shape and implement future-fit information management practices that make a measurable impact.

As the Information Management Consultant, you will:

• Lead the design and delivery of Information Management services that align with client goals and industry best practice
• Assess existing systems and processes, identifying quick wins and longer-term improvement opportunities
• Work closely with stakeholders to understand information needs and embed sustainable, digital-first solutions
• Ensure adoption of IM practices that support information security, data retention, and personal data protection
• Apply business analysis and project delivery skills to execute IM initiatives effectively
• Recommend and support the implementation of improved tools and platforms where appropriate
• Help clients protect their data, optimise how it flows, and support informed, timely decision-making

Requirements

What you'll bring:

• A degree in Information Management or a related discipline, or equivalent hands-on experience
• Proven experience in information, records, or document management within the energy sector
• Understanding of business analysis principles and project delivery methodologies
• Confidence to engage effectively with stakeholders at all levels, including clients and internal teams
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with experience in business case development and process improvement
• A proactive and self-motivated approach, with the ability to work independently as well as part of a collaborative team
• A genuine passion for improving how organisations manage, protect, and utilise their information assets
