Engagement Manager - Public Sector
108961
- London
You will lead the day-to-day execution of a client project while guiding and developing individual team members.
You will typically lead a team of 3-5 consultants to help clients achieve new performance heights. You’ll work directly with clients – usually on site – and you’ll take ownership of the overall project and its end products. You will make an important contribution to the analysis, design and implementation of business performance approaches, developing tailor-made solutions and working closely with clients to ensure positive impact and sustainable results. Client project work typically includes gathering and analyzing information, formulating and testing hypotheses and developing recommendations for presentation to client management. From there, you will implement those recommendations with client team members.
You’ll also gain new skills and build on the strengths you bring to the firm. You will receive exceptional training as well as frequent coaching and mentoring from colleagues and senior leaders on your teams.
You’ll be based in London in our UKIIO (United Kingdom, Ireland and Israel office) and will work aligned with the Public Sector practice. This practice operates globally and on a broad spectrum encompassing Defense & Security, Education, Global Public Health and Public Finance.
You will have the opportunity to work on teams and help the best organizations in the world – across the private, public and social sectors – solve some of their most difficult problems.
Driving lasting impact and building long-term capabilities with our clients is not easy work. You are the kind of person who thrives in a high performance/high reward culture - doing hard things, picking yourself up when you stumble, and having the resilience to try another way forward.
In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, we'll provide the resources, mentorship, and opportunities you need to become a stronger leader faster than you ever thought possible. Your colleagues—at all levels—will invest deeply in your development, just as much as they invest in delivering exceptional results for clients. Every day, you'll receive apprenticeship, coaching, and exposure that will accelerate your growth in ways you won’t find anywhere else.
