Engagement Manager

About the Position
The Engagement Manager is a client-facing leader responsible for managing and delivering complex, multi-faceted projects with minimal oversight. This role requires robust strategic insight, high levels of independence, and strong commercial acumen to ensure exceptional client impact across the APAC region. Senior Engagement Managers drive project delivery with limited support, while effectively balancing multiple workstreams and enhancing client relationships.
About the Team
Our consulting practice is uniquely positioned as a specialized business unit embedded within a broader strategic insights and research organization. As a result, Engagement Managers must operate not only as exceptional client leaders and problem solvers, but also as highly collaborative internal integrators who can effectively leverage the firm’s full intellectual capital, subject matter expertise, and research capabilities.
About You 
Successful Engagement Managers are expected to build strong cross-functional relationships across the organization’s strategic insights and commercial teams to ensure every engagement incorporates the most relevant market intelligence, proprietary learnings, and analytical perspectives available across the firm.
Because of this embedded model, Engagement Managers play a critical role in connecting consulting delivery with the organization’s broader thought leadership, methodologies, and commercial priorities. They are expected to proactively integrate existing research, data assets, and industry expertise into client engagements to enhance strategic impact and delivery quality.
The role also requires strong internal and external relationship management, balancing client expectations while coordinating effectively across multiple teams and stakeholders. Successful Engagement Managers thrive in collaborative environments and consistently bring together the firm’s best capabilities to deliver differentiated client outcomes.
