Are you a talented leader with a proven track record for motivating teams and delivering exceptional client service?

Our People & Change team in Vancouver is looking for a motivated and high-performing Manager to deliver client engagements across a range of industries. People & Change consulting is a fast-growing business. In an age of constant disruption, game-changing trends, and perpetual transformation, we help our clients drive business value and achieve strategic goals through the optimization of their people and organizational agenda.

Our team delivers strategic and operational consulting services related to organizational effectiveness, human resource planning, and transformation. From developing talent strategies and managing behavioral change to optimizing both the workforce and HR function, our knowledgeable advice enables improved performance from our clients' people and their organizations.

What you will do

As a Manager in our People and Change practice, you will be a key member of a high-performing team. You'll be learning from some of the best in the industry and growing your personal skillset as you:

1. Manage consulting teams in the delivery of client engagements, including planning and coordinating the day-to-day work of the team.
2. Support business development by co-developing and co-presenting client proposals and thought leadership, maintaining relationships with prospective and past clients as well as with alliance partners.
