The company
Our client is a 450 strong global firm of management consultants to technology-based companies with a turnover of US$ 100m p.a. The firm was founded in 1976 and now has nine offices in the USA, four in Europe (Frankfurt, Glasgow, Oxford and Paris) and one in Asia. For reasons of teamwork and office culture, all staff live within one hour of their chosen office. The firm focuses on operations excellence, customer service and support, and product development and product and cycle time excellence for high technology companies in industry segments such as telecoms, computers, electronics, life sciences, software, aerospace and defence, chemicals and automotive. The firm staffs its assignments across Europe and has a track record of implementing new benchmarks and best practice in product development, manufacturing process and integrated supply chain management. Due to continued growth of their Life Sciences practice area the firm is now recruiting for Managers and Principals with experience of serving clients in the pharmaceuticals, medical devices and bio-technology industries.
The position - Manager
Managers lead the work of Consultants on assignments, manage and conduct projects and participate in focussed new business development. They are promoted to Principal and then to Director/Partner.
The position - Principal
Principals are at the level below Partner and supervise 2-3 Managers who are running projects. They take a lead in focussed new business development, industry marketing and in thought leadership for one of the firm’s practice areas. All levels share responsibilities in internal project teams for recruiting and professional development. They have an unusually low 1:4 ratio of Partners to Consultants. The firm therefore strongly nurtures the growth of their Managers and Principals to become Partners through an active and supportive mentoring and professional development program.
The candidate
Candidates should have a technical qualification, previous experience in high tech industry in operations, customer service, manufacturing, supply chain or product development with between three and seven years’ experience in management consultancy with a track record of delivering results. Fluency in English and one other European language is desirable. Candidates will enjoy working in implementation consulting through experienced teams in on-site engagements. They will be good communicators, with intelligence and pragmatism. They will be able to succeed in complex environments with minimum direction and be committed to a long term career in consultancy.
Remuneration
A particularly competitive compensation package is available with the opportunity to share directly in the success of the firm.
