Our Consumer Products & Retail Transformation practice are looking for a Senior Manager/Director to join the team

Our Consumer Products & Retail practice is looking for an experienced Senior Manager or Director to join the team and help our clients deliver complex, business-critical transformation.

We are seeking a highly motivated consulting leader with a strong track record of designing and delivering large-scale transformation programmes within the consumer products and retail sectors. This could include experience across supply chain transformation, S&OP, planning and forecasting, ERP-enabled transformation, or operating model design and implementation.

This is a broad transformation leadership role rather than a position focused on a single functional specialism. The right person will combine strong consulting and programme leadership capabilities with the commercial confidence to lead client relationships, manage complex engagements, and identify opportunities to deepen and grow existing accounts.

Candidates may have built their career entirely within consulting or combined consulting with relevant industry experience. However, substantial consulting experience and a clear understanding of how to lead clients through complex transformation are essential.

What we are looking for

You will be a pragmatic transformation leader who is comfortable moving between strategic thinking and the realities of implementation. You will understand what it takes to mobilise and deliver complex programmes, engage senior client stakeholders, and create alignment across business and technology teams.

You do not need to be a pure business development or new-logo origination specialist. However, you must be comfortable owning senior client relationships, leading the day-to-day development of accounts, and identifying opportunities to broaden our impact with existing clients.

You will also bring enough depth in consumer products or retail to understand the commercial and operational context in which clients are transforming, while retaining the breadth to work across different types of transformation challenge.

What you will be doing

Lead complex transformation engagements for consumer products and retail clients, taking responsibility for successful delivery from initial design through to implementation.
Help clients shape and deliver transformation across areas such as supply chain, S&OP, business planning, forecasting, ERP implementation, and operating model effectiveness.
Translate strategic objectives into practical transformation roadmaps, delivery plans, governance structures, and measurable business outcomes.
