Senior Manager or Director - Business Services In the United Kingdom - London

Simon-Kucher is a global consultancy with more than 2,000 employees in 30+ countries. Our sole focus is on unlocking better growth that drives measurable revenue and profit for our clients. We achieve this by optimizing every lever of their commercial strategy – product, price, innovation, marketing, and sales – based on deep insights into what customers want and value. With 40 years of experience in monetization topics of all kinds, we are regarded as the world’s leading pricing and growth specialist.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Manager or Director to join our Business Services Practice, supporting clients across a range of industries (from professional services to technical / field services) to develop and execute commercial excellence strategies that deliver sustainable growth.

How you will create impact:

• As a Senior Manager or Director, you will play a leading role in shaping and delivering our commercial excellence work for clients in the business and professional services industry.
• You will lead consulting projects focused on pricing, go-to-market design, sales effectiveness, and growth strategy for clients operating in decentralised and complex organisational environments.
• Alongside project delivery, you will actively drive business development activities, working closely with Partners to support proposal development, pitches, and marketing initiatives (e.g. creation of thought leadership content), contributing to the continued growth of our project and client base.
• You will share your expertise with junior team members, coaching and mentoring them to develop strong analytical, commercial, and client-facing skills.

Your profile:

• Significant experience in strategy or management consulting, within business and/or professional services, ideally including a focus on revenue growth topics such as pricing and sales effectiveness.
• Strong analytical capabilities, with experience synthesising complex quantitative and qualitative information into clear client recommendations.
• Excellent client-facing skills, with experience leading stakeholder engagements across different organisational functions.
• Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with the ability to articulate insights to senior executives and engage credibly with senior leaders (e.g. Partners from other professional services firms).
• Demonstrated some experience in supporting and contributing to business development activities.
• Demonstrated ability to lead workstreams and manage teams in high-performing environments.
• Comfortable with ambiguity, able to decompose complex problems and drive structured, practical solutions.

What we offer:

• Work within a corporate culture defined by our entrepreneurial spirit, openness, and integrity
• Broaden your perspective with our extensive training curriculum and learning opportunities
• Push your development with support from our holistic feedback and development processes
• Hybrid work, mixing your work location between our London office, client sites, and the option to remote work for an element of your time
• Enjoy our range of benefits and our focus on your wellbeing
