Senior Manager – Cost & Productivity Transformation
Technology & Media | London | Hybrid
A leading global consulting firm is investing heavily in its Technology & Media transformation capability and is looking for experienced consultants to help clients deliver measurable cost reduction, productivity improvement, and margin growth.
This is not a strategy-only role. You will work closely with senior leaders across software, SaaS, digital platforms, media, gaming, and technology-enabled businesses to identify savings opportunities, build the transformation case, and stay involved through implementation and benefits realisation.
The team has an established book of work, strong senior sponsorship, and ambitious growth plans. It offers the pace and commercial focus of a value-creation environment, combined with the scale and client access of a major consultancy.
The Work
Depending on your level, you will lead workstreams or full engagements across areas such as:
- Enterprise-wide cost optimisation and productivity programmes
- Cost baselining, financial analysis, and scenario modelling
- Cloud, software licensing, and technology cost reduction
- Product and engineering productivity
- Workforce optimisation and organisational redesign
- Procurement, supplier, and third-party spend reduction
- Application and platform rationalisation
- Shared services, outsourcing, and operating-model transformation
- Benefits tracking, governance, and value realisation
