Senior Business Advisor

You will own relationships rather than workstreams. That means a client’s chief executive calls you first when something changes, and it also means a number sits next to your name at the end of the year. Some genuinely excellent consultants dislike that second part — it is worth deciding now. On a bad week you are rewriting a proposal at eleven at night in a Frankfurt hotel.

Team
Advisory UK & Europe, 9 people
Reports to
Managing Partner, UK
Travel
Roughly 35% — mostly Europe, occasionally the Nordics

What you will do

  • 1Own a portfolio of client relationships end to end — scope, quality, commercials and the awkward conversations
  • 2Carry a revenue target for follow-on and new work, and build the pipeline that meets it
  • 3Lead engagement teams of three to five, setting the argument early rather than editing slides late
  • 4Stay in touch with clients between engagements, when nobody is being billed and the useful things get said
  • 5Sharpen how the practice sells — proposals, pricing, and knowing which work to turn down

What we are looking for

  • Eight to twelve years in consulting, corporate development or an in-house strategy function
  • Genuine fluency with financial modelling — not just the ability to read someone else’s
  • A record of clients who came back, and of at least some work you brought in yourself
  • Comfort with commercial responsibility: pricing a piece of work, defending the fee, hearing no
  • Written and spoken English of boardroom standard; another European language earns its keep

Nice to have

  • Sector depth in financial services, industrial technology or the energy transition
  • Experience selling into the UK and German-speaking markets, where our pipeline is heaviest
  • Time spent inside a client organisation — it shows in how you write a recommendation
