Engagement Managers drive the delivery of client engagements as “on the ground” managers. This role has day‑to‑day responsibility for the quality of our project delivery to clients, both in the context of specific projects and the client’s overall strategic direction.

Engagement Managers have or develop core expertise related to their practice group, Health Life Science, in this case. They are responsible for acting as a key contact with senior level clients and delivering high quality work, for developing and capturing intellectual capital and for supporting new or expanded business opportunities. They manage client relationships and provide “thought leadership” and creativity. Internally Engagement Managers have the dual task of providing guidance and coverage for more junior consultants as well as insight and leverage for partners.

We welcome applicants with a proven track record of excellence. Successful applicants typically have extensive subject expertise, as well as previous experience in managing projects with tight deadlines, excelling within a team environment and establishing and maintaining strong business relationships.

We are looking for leaders who are passionate about consulting excellence. Exceptional candidates possess initiative, intuition, creativity as well as a strong background in conceptual problem solving and analytical skills. We value individuals with state‑of‑the‑art knowledge of the Health and Life Science topics listed above (in the “context” section).
