Manager Strategy Consulting - Data Economics

Most data consultancies help organisations use their data better. Our client is asking a more fundamental question: what is it actually worth?

The opportunity

This is a specialist boutique pioneering the field of Data Economics — a discipline that sits at the intersection of strategy consulting and financial modelling, and one that is growing fast. Their clients are some of the UK's largest and most complex organisations. The work lands at board level. The problems are genuinely hard.

They're looking for a Consulting Manager to join as a Solution Consultant — a core delivery role that sits at the heart of every engagement. You'll own workstreams, produce high-quality analytical outputs, and manage day-to-day client relationships with confidence. If you're a structured thinker who wants to do serious consulting work in an emerging field, this is worth your attention.

What the work actually looks like

You'll work within squads led by a Solution Lead, taking defined workstreams from brief to output. That means building models and analysis, running workshops, presenting findings to mid-level clients, and mentoring more junior analysts on the team. You'll also contribute to the methods and IP that make the firm's work repeatable and scalable.

Day to day, you can expect to:

• Own workstreams end-to-end, from brief to client-ready output
• Build analysis, financial models, and structured presentations to a high standard
• Manage day-to-day client interactions — workshops, findings sessions, relationship-building at mid-level
• Support more senior team members on delivery planning and risk management
• Mentor and review the work of Solution Analysts
• Contribute to the firm's growing library of methods, frameworks, and accelerators

What we're looking for

You'll be a structured, delivery-focused consultant — likely at manager level — with a track record of owning complex analytical workstreams and communicating findings clearly to clients.

• Experience in a consulting, professional services, or advisory environment
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills — comfortable taking a complex brief and producing clear outputs
• Confident communicator, written and verbal, with experience presenting findings and running client sessions
• Domain experience in at least one area: data strategy, governance, analytics, financial modelling, or business change
• Awareness of commercial context — scope, quality, and what good delivery looks like

The package is competitive. Benchmarked against consulting market rates, with private health cover, enhanced mental health support, generous family policies, and access to professional financial advice.
