Job Description

Your Growth
You are someone who thrives in a high-performance environment, bringing a growth mindset and entrepreneurial spirit to tackle meaningful challenges that have a real impact.
In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, we’ll provide the resources, mentorship, and opportunities to help you quickly broaden your expertise, grow into a well-rounded professional, and contribute to work that truly makes a difference.
When you join us, you will have:
  • Continuous learning: Our learning and apprenticeship culture, backed by structured programs, is all about helping you grow while creating an environment where feedback is clear, actionable, and focused on your development. The real magic happens when you take the input from others to heart and embrace the fast-paced learning experience, owning your journey.
  • A voice that matters: From day one, we value your ideas and contributions. You’ll make a tangible impact by offering innovative ideas and practical solutions, all while upholding our unwavering commitment to ethics and integrity. We not only encourage diverse perspectives, but they are critical in driving us toward the best possible outcomes.
  • Global community: With colleagues across 65+ countries and over 100 different nationalities, our firm’s diversity fuels creativity and helps us come up with the best solutions. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from exceptional colleagues with diverse backgrounds and experiences.

Your Impact
As a Commercial Manager, you will play a critical role in supporting the commercial shaping and executing of complex pricing/ commercial arrangements for the firm.
You will partner closely with consulting teams and senior leadership to structure, negotiate, and finalize non-standard fee arrangements and performance-based fees with clients across geographies and industries. Acting as a trusted peer to the Client Service Teams (CST) group, the role requires strong commercial judgment, advanced negotiation skills, and the ability to independently engage with C-suite executives. 
Your work will help ensure that our commercial strategies align with client needs while balancing firm risk and long-term value creation. You will advise CSTs / Consulting teams during the proposal stage on structuring and negotiating non-standard and complex fee arrangements, ensuring early and proactive involvement. You will support and help manage day-to-day commercial negotiations with local and multinational clients, including multi-year and multi-geography engagements. You will partner with CSTs and senior stakeholders to prepare for and participate in client negotiations, contributing to discussions with senior client executives (e.g., CEOs, CFOs).
You will professionalize contracting arrangements by tightening commercial language and conditions in alignment with firm policies and risk standards. You will ensure commercial structures appropriately balance client needs, firm risk, and long-term value creation. You will guide consulting teams through firm governance and approval processes (e.g., Local or Regional Pricing Committee), ensuring compliance and efficient decision-making.
You will coach consulting teams on standard commercial terms, negotiation tactics, and best practices across a wide range of client situations. You will disseminate best practices related to negotiation strategies, methodologies, templates, and precedent agreements. You will support client service teams in resolving contentious commercial issues while adhering to Firm policies and escalation protocols.
You will build strong, trusted relationships with Partners, client service teams, Legal, Finance, and other internal stakeholders. You will serve as a calm, credible advisor in high-pressure and time-sensitive negotiations.
