Connect to your opportunity
As a Manager you will be delivering strategy work for our clients day-to-day. While no two projects are the same, you will typically be leading a workstream within a larger engagement, managing a small number of analysts or consultants, with oversight and support from a Senior Manager or senior colleagues as needed. You’ll play a vital hands-on role in designing and executing the strategic analysis required, conducting research and assembling evidence, distilling insights and constructing strategic recommendations.
The nature of the work you’ll be involved in:
- Working with clients to understand and define strategic choices ahead of key investment decisions
- Traditional evidence-led analysis to identify market developments and opportunities to support client strategy formation, including hypothesis based approaches
- Determining the optimum business or commercial model to effectively deliver client objectives
- Helping our clients develop and deliver operational excellence in specific areas, identifying new ways of working that will stimulate innovation and growth, and lead to better decision-making
- Guiding and supporting clients through imagining, defining and delivering their journey to establish competitive advantage

Personal independence
Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints (e.g., in relation to any financial interests and employment relationships). This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm). The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress through the recruitment process or you can contact the Independence team upon request.
