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.
