Our teams partner with clients to shape strategy, redesign operating models, enable organizational change, improve customer experiences, and accelerate business transformation. We work at the intersection of strategy, execution, data, technology, and adoption ensuring that recommendations translate into measurable business value and sustainable impact.

The Role

Managers own end-to-end delivery of a consulting engagement or major workstream, manage a team, and develop junior talent within their projects, while taking direct responsibility for the commercial health of their engagements.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as a primary point of contact and trusted advisor to the client, addressing their business challenges and ensuring Indegene provides effective solutions
• Define and maintain the delivery approach: milestones, quality standards, risk owners, escalation paths
• Shape the commercial structure of the engagement — scoping, pricing logic, margin management
• Manage, coach and develop team members, providing ongoing direction and guidance
• Adapt communication style to align cross-functional teams and secure buy-in
• Build trusted relationships with client stakeholders, including day-to-day leads and senior decisionmakers, while expanding the account network over time
• Identify and act on opportunities to improve delivery efficiency and quality within the team
• Identify client opportunities and widen the account network

What Success Looks Like

• Delivery approach is clearly defined, actively managed, and consistently meets quality expectations

• Junior team members receive regular coaching and demonstrate visible development
• Ensure projects are profitable through effective budgeting, financial planning and staffing

Your Experience

• Typically 5-8 years of experience in management consulting firm(s), life sciences consulting, or relevant strategy / transformation roles with demonstratable experience leading workstreams or engagements in complex client environments.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in business, technology, engineering or related field.
• Excellent business acumen in navigating complex client-side stakeholder communities, change management, and client impact orchestration.
• Deep understanding of the life science industry is strongly preferred. We are looking for individuals with experience working across commercial, medical, digital, customer experience, analytics, and / or operating model transformations.
• Proven track record of managing and expanding client relationships.
• Strong interpersonal, listening, critical thinking, presentation, and writing skills.
• An entrepreneurial mindset and someone who takes pride in delivering outstanding work.
• You will be based in our US office and may visit clients around the world. All candidates must be eligible to work in the relevant location.
