Client Engagement Manager - C&M - Manufacturing Innovation - UK Global Innovation and Technology Centre, Back Lane, Melbourn, Hertfordshire, SG8 6DP, United Kingdom, Melbourn SG8 6DP, GB We are PA Consulting, and we are not a traditional consulting firm. We are different in what we do and how we do it. We believe in the power of ingenuity to build a positive human future. As strategies, technologies, and innovation collide, we create opportunity from complexity. Our diverse teams of experts combine innovative thinking and breakthrough technologies to progress further, faster. Our clients adapt and transform, and together we achieve enduring results. We are over 4,000 strategists, innovators, designers, consultants, digital experts, scientists, engineers, and technologists. And we have deep expertise in consumer and manufacturing, defence and security, energy and utilities, financial services, government and public services, health and life sciences, and transport. Our teams operate globally from offices across the UK, Ireland, US, Nordics, and Netherlands. At the forefront of our growth engine, our Client Engagement Managers are not just sales leaders - they are hunters and relationship architects, passionate about unlocking new possibilities in markets hungry for innovation. With deep expertise in sales and business development, you will play a pivotal role in uncovering and capturing high-potential opportunities across high-volume manufacturing companies in Consumer Products and Industrial Systems. In this highly creative environment, and working closely with engineering and supply chain teams, you will enhance, refine, and make established Manufacturing Innovation insights and propositions relevant to clients. Your role will centre on identifying, qualifying, and accelerating exciting manufacturing innovation opportunities. You will help connect our clients' biggest manufacturing challenges with PA's capabilities, ultimately driving otherwise undiscovered sales opportunities. You will leverage your established industry network across Consumer Products and packaged goods, Industrial Products and processes, and manufacturing start-ups to spark conversations with key decision-makers, opening doors for collaborative projects and strategic growth. Your passion for relationship building and front-end sales will allow you to become a trusted advisor and gateway into PA's broader capabilities. The successful candidate will operate across the early stages of our sales pipeline to develop manufacturing process, production, and supply chain opportunities. While not exclusive, one of the primary focus areas for this role will be the identification, outreach, and contact initiation for individuals in CPG, industrial processing, and high-growth manufacturing businesses whose roles are focused on innovation, manufacturing, operations, and supply chain. This includes COOs, Chief Innovation Officers, VPs/SVPs of Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Operations, and their respective teams across CPG and manufacturing markets. This role will include: Qualify and incubate new, undeveloped, or dormant accounts into significant revenue-generating clients with long-lasting relationships. Access and penetrate existing accounts where PA's Manufacturing and Supply Chain services are less well known, working with account teams and existing account plans. Develop and maintain client engagement plans to map existing relationships and grow new relationships with senior prospective clients and buyers, creating named leads that can be managed through PA's CRM platform. Work closely with visionary engineering and supply chain teams to enhance, refine, and make well-established Manufacturing Innovation insights and propositions relevant to clients. Work with marketing colleagues to shape market materials that drive further sales and help PA pursue industry recognition within targeted sectors. Tailor confident presentation materials to help PA's capabilities resonate with specific clients' needs and challenges. Continuously monitor and analyze competitor activity within the market and our customers, providing market intelligence and clearly defined customer needs to enhance our in-market positioning. Lead the qualification of early opportunities and manage the early stages of our sales processes within our CRM tool and sales network. This will include leading and progressing a qualified sales pipeline that underpins revenue and profit targets within agreed focus areas and market sectors. Cultivate relationships and opportunities until they are ready for Subject Matter Experts and a more structured bid pursuit process. Where appropriate, CEMs will reach out to SMEs across the wider PA network and introduce them to clients to further consolidate relationships and move bid opportunities forward. They will also form part of PA's global CEM network, where best practice, key learnings, and experiences can be shared. Ideal Candidates Individuals must be credible when talking to potential clients and must be able to demonstrate a sound understanding of industry needs, trends, and changes. They will be able to build trust, rapport, and conviction with prospective clients by combining confidence, market understanding, and PA's strengths. They will be the first impression many clients have of PA and should epitomise professionalism, positivity, and an approachable manner. Candidates' sales approach should be aligned to PA's premium services and FTSE 250, or similar, clients. The creation of long-lasting relationships and quality opportunities is more important than the quantity of opportunities. Having an existing network they can tap into for outreach as a source of potential work for PA is necessary to enable their effectiveness. They will need a relentless attitude aligned with the ebbs and flows of truly front-end sales activation. They will be a people person who wants to make real human connections. Finally, this role requires a personal work ethic driven by the attainment of realistic and stretch sales goals, evaluated on a quarterly basis.

Client Engagement Manager - C&M - Manufacturing Innovation - UK Global Innovation and Technology Centre, Back Lane, Melbourn, Hertfordshire, SG8 6DP, United Kingdom, Melbourn SG8 6DP, GB We are PA Consulting, and we are not a traditional consulting firm. We are different in what we do and how we do it. We believe in the power of ingenuity to build a positive human future. As strategies, technologies, and innovation collide, we create opportunity from complexity. Our diverse teams of experts combine innovative thinking and breakthrough technologies to progress further, faster. Our clients adapt and transform, and together we achieve enduring results. We are over 4,000 strategists, innovators, designers, consultants, digital experts, scientists, engineers, and technologists. And we have deep expertise in consumer and manufacturing, defence and security, energy and utilities, financial services, government and public services, health and life sciences, and transport. Our teams operate globally from offices across the UK, Ireland, US, Nordics, and Netherlands. At the forefront of our growth engine, our Client Engagement Managers are not just sales leaders - they are hunters and relationship architects, passionate about unlocking new possibilities in markets hungry for innovation. With deep expertise in sales and business development, you will play a pivotal role in uncovering and capturing high-potential opportunities across high-volume manufacturing companies in Consumer Products and Industrial Systems. In this highly creative environment, and working closely with engineering and supply chain teams, you will enhance, refine, and make established Manufacturing Innovation insights and propositions relevant to clients. Your role will centre on identifying, qualifying, and accelerating exciting manufacturing innovation opportunities. You will help connect our clients' biggest manufacturing challenges with PA's capabilities, ultimately driving otherwise undiscovered sales opportunities. You will leverage your established industry network across Consumer Products and packaged goods, Industrial Products and processes, and manufacturing start-ups to spark conversations with key decision-makers, opening doors for collaborative projects and strategic growth. Your passion for relationship building and front-end sales will allow you to become a trusted advisor and gateway into PA's broader capabilities. The successful candidate will operate across the early stages of our sales pipeline to develop manufacturing process, production, and supply chain opportunities. While not exclusive, one of the primary focus areas for this role will be the identification, outreach, and contact initiation for individuals in CPG, industrial processing, and high-growth manufacturing businesses whose roles are focused on innovation, manufacturing, operations, and supply chain. This includes COOs, Chief Innovation Officers, VPs/SVPs of Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Operations, and their respective teams across CPG and manufacturing markets. This role will include: Qualify and incubate new, undeveloped, or dormant accounts into significant revenue-generating clients with long-lasting relationships. Access and penetrate existing accounts where PA's Manufacturing and Supply Chain services are less well known, working with account teams and existing account plans. Develop and maintain client engagement plans to map existing relationships and grow new relationships with senior prospective clients and buyers, creating named leads that can be managed through PA's CRM platform. Work closely with visionary engineering and supply chain teams to enhance, refine, and make well-established Manufacturing Innovation insights and propositions relevant to clients. Work with marketing colleagues to shape market materials that drive further sales and help PA pursue industry recognition within targeted sectors. Tailor confident presentation materials to help PA's capabilities resonate with specific clients' needs and challenges. Continuously monitor and analyze competitor activity within the market and our customers, providing market intelligence and clearly defined customer needs to enhance our in-market positioning. Lead the qualification of early opportunities and manage the early stages of our sales processes within our CRM tool and sales network. This will include leading and progressing a qualified sales pipeline that underpins revenue and profit targets within agreed focus areas and market sectors. Cultivate relationships and opportunities until they are ready for Subject Matter Experts and a more structured bid pursuit process. Where appropriate, CEMs will reach out to SMEs across the wider PA network and introduce them to clients to further consolidate relationships and move bid opportunities forward. They will also form part of PA's global CEM network, where best practice, key learnings, and experiences can be shared. Ideal Candidates Individuals must be credible when talking to potential clients and must be able to demonstrate a sound understanding of industry needs, trends, and changes. They will be able to build trust, rapport, and conviction with prospective clients by combining confidence, market understanding, and PA's strengths. They will be the first impression many clients have of PA and should epitomise professionalism, positivity, and an approachable manner. Candidates' sales approach should be aligned to PA's premium services and FTSE 250, or similar, clients. The creation of long-lasting relationships and quality opportunities is more important than the quantity of opportunities. Having an existing network they can tap into for outreach as a source of potential work for PA is necessary to enable their effectiveness. They will need a relentless attitude aligned with the ebbs and flows of truly front-end sales activation. They will be a people person who wants to make real human connections. Finally, this role requires a personal work ethic driven by the attainment of realistic and stretch sales goals, evaluated on a quarterly basis. This requires the ability to plan, execute, and manage conversations on a daily basis, with the flexibility and understanding that pivots are needed and that failure to connect with clients is a reality. Experience Required Extensive network in high-volume manufacturing companies across Consumer Products, Food and Beverage, and Industrial Systems.

About Gigs At Gigs, we're building the operating system for mobile services-a platform that lets tech companies embed global connectivity into their products effortlessly. Just as Stripe lets any business add a payment button in seconds, Gigs empowers platforms to weave in connectivity-bridging the traditional world of telecom with modern tech. From fintechs launching mobile services to HR platforms offering work phone plans, we automate provisioning and remove telecom complexity. Our team of around 150 people across the US and Europe, backed by nearly $100 million in funding from Ribbit Capital, Google, and Y Combinator. As one of the fastest-growing tech companies, bringing together early stage engineers, product builders, and business athletes from companies like Stripe, Airbnb, and Shopify. We're tackling deep technical and regulatory challenges to make connectivity truly seamless. If you're driven by curiosity, creativity, and the chance to shape the future of telecom, we'd love to hear from you. Things We Care About We are building in a highly complex space and tackling a massive problem. We want people who lean in when things get hard. Speed. We move and we ship. We set bold deadlines and treat every week like it matters. Ownership. If you see something broken, fix it. We don't wait for permission. Customer Obsession. Our customers' product is our product. Ambiguity. We're building frontier technology in a complex domain. You'll need sound judgement and good instincts to make decisions without complete information. First principles. We don't ask how things have been done before. We ask why they were done that way at all. The Role Gigs for Work is our employee phone plan management platform - one platform that lets companies manage business phone plans for distributed teams across 50+ countries. We're building the sales function for this product from scratch, and this is a senior IC hire with genuine ownership: of a region, a pipeline, and a number. You'll sell into Security, HR, IT, Procurement, and Finance at enterprise companies, running complex, multi stakeholder deals without a dedicated sales engineer, sales ops team, or pre built playbook to lean on. If you're the kind of salesperson who thrives when the path isn't paved - and who wants the upside that comes with that - this role is built for you. What You Will Do Enterprise Pipeline & Outreach: Build and manage a healthy outbound pipeline from scratch. Identify and engage senior decision makers in Security, HR, IT, Procurement, and Finance at enterprise companies, and develop tailored outreach strategies for each buyer segment. Full Cycle Deal Ownership: Own every stage of the sales process from first contact to signed contract. Navigate complex, multi stakeholder buying processes, build compelling business cases, and drive deals through procurement and legal independently. Account Growth: Develop long term relationships with customers post close, partnering with the team to identify expansion opportunities and ensure retention. Go to Market Strategy: Define your ICP, build outreach playbooks by buyer segment, and develop a regional strategy with a high degree of autonomy. You'll bring structure to ambiguous problems and take accountability for what works. Cross functional Influence: Work closely with Product, Engineering, and Operations to feed market insights back into the roadmap. At this stage of the company, your field intelligence directly shapes what we build next. What We Are Looking For Enterprise Sales Track Record: You have a proven history of winning and expanding enterprise accounts, ideally at a company in a period of rapid growth or a zero to one moment. You're comfortable running 3-6 month sales cycles and presenting to VP and C suite buyers. Senior Buyer Network: You bring existing relationships with decision makers in Security, HR, IT, Procurement, and/or Finance at enterprise companies. You know how to get in the room - and how to navigate from champion to buying committee. Self Sufficiency: You're used to operating without a dedicated sales engineer, sales ops function, or established playbook. You build your own decks, run your own discovery, and close your own deals. Commercial & Strategic Acumen: You can think at the level of "what does this customer's business actually need?" and build business cases that resonate with finance minded buyers. You're analytically rigorous, data fluent, and can model the economics of a deal clearly. Entrepreneurial Mindset: You're drawn to early stage environments where the path isn't paved, and motivated by ownership - of a region, a segment, a number. You take initiative without being asked and hold yourself to a high standard. Product Curiosity: You get excited about new product categories and invest in understanding them at depth. You can translate product complexity into clear customer value, even in a space - enterprise telecoms, HR tech, IT infrastructure - that buyers may not have actively considered before. Mission Driven: You care about the problem we're solving - making it simpler for companies to give their distributed teams access to reliable, managed phone connectivity - and you want to be part of building something that lasts. Salary Range: £110,000 - £140,000 basic / €110,000 - €140,000 (The final offer depends on your background, skills, and how you perform through the process. We're open to considering outlier candidates, which may result in an adjustment to the scope and compensation) Work At Gigs At Gigs, we value in person collaboration. We believe the best ideas, decisions, and relationships are built when teams spend meaningful time together, and our culture is designed around that belief. We support flexibility where it makes sense. Some focused work can be done remotely, and not every role or week looks the same. You should expect regular time in one of our hubs, as well as occasional travel for team workshops, customer meetings, and Gigs Republic, our bi annual company off site. Our offices are designed to feel like home inspired workspaces, with plants, thoughtful tools, and small, tight knit teams that make collaboration feel natural, energizing, and effective. What We Offer At Gigs, we believe in rewarding excellence. We offer competitive compensation and stock options because we see you as a true partner in our growth. We also provide stipends for your home office or work setup, a budget for learning and development to fuel your career, and of course, a free phone and international data plan
