Job Description

Our client is a premier, multidisciplinary strategy and management consulting firm that acts as a trusted advisor to global governments, international financial institutions, and private investors. For over two decades, they have been at the forefront of designing and financing the critical infrastructure needed to deliver essential services—ranging from clean water and energy to resilient transport systems—across emerging markets. They are dedicated to improving quality of life through innovative, workable solutions that bridge the gap between public policy and private investment.

As an Engagement Manager within the Transport Practice, you will move beyond high-level strategy to solve the "how" of infrastructure delivery. You will lead the financial architecture of projects that define how cities move. Your impact will be felt in the creation of bankable business cases, the structuring of complex project finance, and the leadership of cross-functional teams tackling some of the continent's most significant economic and social challenges.

Performance Objectives for Year One:

  • Architect Financial Solutions: Lead the development and evaluation of complex, multi-variable financial models to support large-scale transport infrastructure projects within the first 6 months.
  • Drive Project Delivery: Successfully manage the end-to-end delivery of at least two major consulting engagements, ensuring high-quality slide decks, financial reports, and feasibility studies are delivered on time and within budget.
  • Strategic Advisory: Act as the primary financial voice in client meetings, translating intricate quantitative findings into clear, actionable strategies for senior decision-makers in government and development finance.
  • Secure Project Financing: Develop and implement financial structuring strategies that facilitate the securing of finance for infrastructure or service delivery projects.
  • Team Leadership & Mentorship: Lead and mentor a team of junior consultants and analysts, fostering a high-performance culture and ensuring the technical accuracy of all financial outputs.
  • Business Growth: Contribute to the firm's expansion by identifying and developing at least two new business opportunities or proposal leads within the Transport or Resilience sectors.

Profile for Success:

  • Evidence of Impact: A proven track record (5-7 years) in management consulting or project finance, specifically leading workstreams that involve financial modeling and infrastructure structuring.
  • Quantitative Mastery: Exceptional Excel capabilities with the ability to "work backwards" from a client's desired outcome to build a robust calculation engine.
  • Academic Foundation: A degree in Finance, Engineering, Mathematics, Actuarial Science, or Economics (Post-graduate qualification preferred).
  • Stakeholder Navigation: Demonstrated experience managing complex relationships across the public and private sectors.
  • Leadership: Experience leading cross-functional or geographically dispersed teams in a high-pressure, deadline-driven environment.
