Who We Are
FTI Consulting is the leading global expert firm for organizations facing crisis and transformation. We work with many of the world’s top multinational corporations, law firms, banks and private equity firms on their most important issues to deliver impact that makes a difference. From resolving disputes, navigating crises, managing risk and optimizing performance, our teams respond rapidly to dynamic and complex situations.
At FTI Consulting, you’ll work side‑by‑side with leaders who have shaped history, helping solve the biggest challenges making headlines today. From day one, you’ll be an integral part of a focused team where you can make a real impact. You’ll be surrounded by an open, collaborative culture that embraces diversity, recognition, professional development and, most importantly, you.
Are you ready to make your impact?
About The Role
Are you ready to dive into complex business environments and contribute to high‑impact recommendations that drive client success?
As an Engagement Manager at FTI, you will play a key role in formulating strategic recommendations and implementing changes to clients by managing individual project modules, deploying commercial acumen in structuring and performing key analysis/ deliverables with little support and develop areas of focus as well as identify leads from existing projects. You will also have the opportunity to formally coach junior staff.
What You’ll Do
As a Manager, you will manage modules of a project or designated scope in client billable project work. You will play a key role in problem solving through data gathering, problem structuring, independently form insights and actions from analysis with holistic view of the engagement, coach team members to build complex financial, operational, or market models applying your Excel and financial proficiency. You will be expected to lay out problem solving approaches and structures by translating project scope, then independently identify the required analysis and critical path of work under the framework. You will be responsible for delivering high-quality output, and be able to balance delegation of duties vs “doing the work” under challenging engagement conditions. Key to this will be your ability to connect findings to strategic and operational recommendations.
You will leverage your communication and presentation skills to communicate assignments and direction to internal project teams; communicate upward with the project leadership, and with clients. You will provide formal coaching to junior staff.
You will structure and present analyses / deliverables with limited support from the engagement lead. If required you will be capable of covering senior team roles / client interactions when senior team is not available.
In addition, you will manage project small module teams and demonstrate the ability to identify time scales, understand priorities and resource requirements and dynamically make decisions on delegation and priorities to meet deadlines.
Beyond this, you will also play an important role in career development of junior staff through coaching and providing constructive feedback to set them up for success. Beyond project-based work, you will support Senior Managing Directors from a commercial standpoint by developing intellectual capital, (eg. white papers) and developing client pitches and proposals, and start identifying areas of focus and leads from existing projects.
This role demands a logical and lateral thinker who is curious, structured and organized, has exceptional communication and interpersonal skills. You will build strong professional and personal relationships with client teams. As a team player who can work in a truly diverse setting you have the ability to deliver under pressure keeping a mature demeanor and most importantly be a leader who will act as a role model and mentor to junior consultants.
