Manager, Strategic Advisory

Liminal is the intelligence platform for the people building and buying the technology that keeps the digital economy safe. Our platform delivers AI-powered solutions that empower customers to assess, interpret, and respond to global market shifts, critical events, and regulatory developments.

We're a Series A company of about 70 people, with teams in New York, Salt Lake City, Porto, Lisbon, and Manila. We were recently named top 11% on the 2026 Inc. 5000 (No. 6 in Business Products & Services) — a good marker of the growth we've been in the middle of this year.

At this size, you don't wait years to get real responsibility. People here are running projects, owning relationships, and shaping how things get built much earlier than they would at a larger company, because the work is there and so is the trust to hand it to you. If you want to learn fast and see the direct impact of what you're doing, this is a good place to do that.

In this role, you lead 1-2 engagements at a time. You manage the work plan, the team, the timeline, the quality, and the day-to-day work required to answer tough questions well.

You won’t be running things alone, and it’s important to be clear about that. Many consulting job posts promise more autonomy than they deliver. Here, every engagement includes a senior executive sponsor and a practice leader. They know the client, often for years, and are involved in scoping, reviews, and meetings with you. Your job is to make the engagement work;

their job is to support you and ensure the answer is right.

This setup gives you plenty of direct client time. Our teams are small, so there’s no layer of analysts between you and the work. Clients already know us well because they’ve been members for years. You’ll work closely with them in sessions, war games, interim reviews, and final presentations.

Most people join this role from an Engagement Manager or Project Leader position. The main difference here is where you begin. Since the client is already a member and the market data is in the platform, you skip the first month and start right at the question.

• The engagement: You’ll manage the workplan, staffing, timeline, quality, and recommendations, with the sponsor and practice leader working alongside you instead of just reviewing at the end.
• The team: Each engagement has two to four people. You’ll assign work, review results, coach in real time, and provide formal feedback.
• The storyline: You decide what we’ll say, in what order, and what evidence is needed to support it. You build and defend the story.
• The day-to-day with the client: You’ll manage the team’s expectations, understand internal dynamics, and address surprises early. You’ll be the main contact between sessions.
• The room: You’ll lead workshops, war games, and strategy sessions with senior leaders.
• The engagement design: Not every problem fits a template. When it doesn’t, you create the approach.
• The commercials: You’ll scope extensions and new phases, write statements of work, and ensure the work remains profitable.
• The connection to the platform: You’ll work with research, data science, and Analyst Desk teams to get what your engagement needs and share what you learn back into the platform.

First 30 days: You’ve taken over at least one live engagement, learned the platform well enough to direct research, and met the client teams on your accounts with their sponsor.

First 90 days: You’re running engagements. Your team’s work goes directly to the client without the practice leader needing to rewrite it. The client’s team comes to you first. At some point, you’ll decide to change an engagement’s direction based on new evidence, which is expected.

First year: You’ve led…
