Engagement Manager, Financial Services

Red Circle

Job Description

Job Description

The Opportunity

At Kenway Consulting, the Engagement Manager role is built for consultants ready to move from leading projects to owning outcomes.

You've led complex engagements by managing the client, the team, the scope, and everything in between. You've built real experience in Financial Services and know how to earn credibility quickly in that environment.

This role is the next step: owning client engagements end to end, building lasting relationships, developing consultants, and identifying where Kenway can create the most value for a client. It's a chance to grow from managing projects to running accounts, and eventually a portfolio of accounts, with a genuine hand in building the business.

 

What You'll Own

  • Lead complex client engagements across business, technology, systems, and data.

  • Own the client relationship, team, scope, budget, risks, delivery, and outcome.

  • Develop consultants and help them take on greater responsibility.

  • Identify where Kenway can create additional value for a client and connect that opportunity with the right people and capabilities inside the Kenway.

  • Contribute beyond your engagement and help build the firm.

 

Who This Person Is

This is a rising consulting leader who has learned how to deliver great work and is ready for more ownership.

You aren't the deepest technical expert in every room, but you know enough about business, technology, data, and delivery to lead the people who are.

You know how to grow through delivery. You earn trust, spot the next problem, and turn one successful engagement into a larger, deeper client relationship.

You've already proven you can lead. Now you want to own an account, develop people, and have a real hand in building the firm.

 

What We're Looking For

Complex Consulting Delivery

You've led meaningful client engagements and understand the difference between managing a project plan and owning the engagement.

Financial Services Fluency

You know Financial Services well enough to establish credibility quickly, even without deep expertise in every corner of the industry.

Business + Technology Agility

You move comfortably between business, technology, systems, and data conversations, and can lead people with deeper technical expertise than you.

Relationship-Led Growth

You earn trust through delivery, spot where you can create more value, and know how to expand a client relationship through the work itself.

Builder Leadership

You want responsibility. You develop people, solve problems, take ownership, and want the opportunity to eventually lead something bigger.

Humble Curiosity

You're highly capable and comfortable not being the smartest person in the room. You ask good questions, learn quickly, treat people well, and push when it matters.

 

Why Kenway

Kenway is a management and technology consulting firm founded in 2004 around Guiding Principles centered on integrity, quality, value, and respect.

At Kenway, strong consultants have the opportunity to influence how an account develops, work directly with firm leadership, and help shape what the company becomes next.

If you've become good at leading the work and are ready to own more of what happens around it, we'd love to talk.
