About the role
As a Manager you own the delivery of an engagement end-to-end — the plan, the team, the client relationship and the outcome. You lead a mixed team, manage scope, timeline and risk, and make sure everything that reaches the client is excellent. You are where delivery excellence and people leadership meet.
What you'll do
- Own end-to-end delivery of an engagement to the outcomes the client signed up for.
- Lead the project team day-to-day — planning, allocating work and unblocking people.
- Manage scope, timeline, budget and risk, and renegotiate sensibly when reality shifts.
- Be the primary point of contact for the client's working-level and senior stakeholders.
- Safeguard the quality and coherence of every deliverable that leaves the team.
- Coach and develop consultants, giving direct, useful feedback.
- Spot follow-on opportunities and support business development with the account lead.
What you'll bring
- Proven delivery ownership of consulting engagements or equivalent projects.
- Strong people leadership — you get the best from a mixed team under pressure.
- Confident senior-stakeholder management and commercial awareness.
- Excellent structuring, communication and quality judgement.
- Typically 6-9 years of experience, including team leadership.
Working arrangement
This is a contract engagement based in Dubai, worked on a hybrid basis — a blend of on-site collaboration and remote focus time, structured around project delivery rather than a fixed schedule.
