Engagement Manager

About the role

The Senior Engagement Manager plays a critical role in helping grow the Audience Intelligence, Analytics & Data Science business by translating client challenges into impactful, data-driven solutions. You will partner with commercial leaders, clients, strategists, analysts, and project teams to manage client relationships, understand client needs, shape solutions, develop compelling proposals, and help bring new opportunities to life.

You are equally comfortable discussing business strategy with senior clients, designing solutions with technical experts and data scientists, presenting capabilities in a pitch, and helping guide projects through delivery. You excel in environments where you encounter different opportunities, and solving new problems energizes you. The ideal candidate combines consulting experience and commercial acumen with excellent communication skills and enough technical understanding of analytics, AI, healthcare/life sciences, and marketing data to confidently connect client challenges with the right solutions.
