In addition, we also work with growth businesses, large corporates, multinationals, and charities.

We are headquartered in London with Offices in New York, London and Chennai. Our team of over 650 people is a unique blend of individuals with skills across commercial consulting, data science and software engineering.

We were founded by cousins Anush Newman (Co-founder & CEO) and Leo Valan (Co-founder & CTO) and have grown rapidly since 2019. In May 2023 we took a minority investment from Baird Capital and in January 2024 we opened an office in New York with the ambition of growing our US business to be as large as, if not bigger than, our European business by 2027.

• Translate complex analysis into clear, commercially grounded recommendations that drive measurable client outcomes
• Own senior client relationships, acting as a trusted advisor to decisionmakers and proactively managing stakeholders
• Structure ambiguous, high impact problems and guide teams using hypothesis‑led, first‑principles thinking
• Oversee and coordinate global delivery teams, ensuring consistent quality, alignment, and pace across regions
• Lead the development of high-quality materials and presentations that influence senior executives and investment stakeholders
• Identify opportunities to extend engagements or expand client accounts, supporting commercial growth
• Play a key role in firm building initiatives, helping shape how JMAN operates and scales
• Coach, mentor, and develop junior team members through active leadership and feedback
• Take ownership of your professional development while contributing to the development of others

Requirements

• 5+ years of relevant experience, ideally in consulting or professional services, with demonstrated progression

• Strong track record of high performance, leadership, and client impact
• Advanced analytical and structured problem solving skills
• Confidence working with data and translating analysis into strategic, commercial insight
• Strong commercial judgment and ability to link recommendations to business value
• Advanced written and verbal communication skills, with experience influencing senior stakeholders
• Ability to operate effectively in lean, high-performance teams, taking ownership and initiative
• Experience with, or strong interest in developing capabilities in: Excel and PowerPoint, Tableau or Power BI, SQL, Python, or Alteryx

Beneficial if you have

• A grounding in data science or AI.
• Experience working in a global delivery model.
• Foreign language skills (German, French or Spanish in particular)
