Your task

We are looking for a Senior Manager Commercial Strategy & Value Creation (m/f/d) to help clients unlock rapid top-line growth and margin expansion in newly acquired portfolio companies and complex corporate transformation situations. In this role, you will work closely with Mid-Market Private Equity investors, Operating Partners, portfolio company leadership teams, and C-level stakeholders to identify, design, and execute commercial value creation initiatives across sectors such as Technology, Media, Telecommunications, and Financial Services.

As well as a comprehensive professional induction, you will gain deep exposure to the strategy and execution environment of private equity investors, portfolio companies, and corporate clients from day one.

Key responsibilities: 

• Take responsibility for end-to-end delivery of clearly defined projects or major workstreams, from problem structuring through analysis, recommendation development and implementation planning. 
• Set a clear analytical approach, break complex commercial questions into workstreams the team can execute independently and unblock structuring or analysis issues when they arise. 
• Identify and prioritise growth and margin levers across sales effectiveness, go-to-market strategy, pricing, channel performance, customer retention and commercial operations. 
• ​​​​​​​Own the quality bar for project analysis, storylines and client deliverables, putting in place practical checks so outputs are accurate, well-evidenced and client-ready. 
• Translate fragmented, incomplete or imperfect business data into clear insights, robust hypotheses and prioritised management actions, using AI and analytical tools appropriately while validating outputs. 
• Develop fact-based business cases, commercial roadmaps and execution plans with clear ownership, milestones, dependencies and measurable targets. 
• Assess commercial performance using relevant sector-specific KPIs, including ARR, MRR, churn, net retention, customer lifetime value, cost-to-serve and EBITDA-related metrics, treating KPIs as evidence rather than a mechanical score. 
• Manage senior client stakeholders day to day, build trust through reliable delivery and clear communication, and escalate sensitive or strategic issues at the right time. 
• Prepare and present concise, high-quality materials for client leadership teams, including clear storylines, implications and recommended actions. 
• Lead, coach and develop Consultants, Senior Consultants and Analysts, creating clarity on roles, priorities and expectations while giving constructive feedback. 
• Manage project scope, time and resources responsibly, balancing client impact, team capacity and commercial outcomes. 
• Contribute actively to account development, proposal creation, client relationship building and business development under senior guidance. 
• Support the development of Analysys Mason’s commercial strategy frameworks, value creation methodologies and proprietary intellectual property through project learnings and knowledge sharing. 

You have a strong analytical, commercial and collaborative mindset. You are able to take ownership of challenging client work, structure ambiguous problems, guide teams to high-quality outputs and contribute beyond delivery to the growth of clients, colleagues and the wider practice. 

You will ideally bring: 

• 6-7 years of professional experience, including experience at Manager, Engagement Manager, Project Leader or equivalent level in a recognised strategy consultancy, such as MBB, a Tier 2 strategy firm or a Big 4 Strategy/Deals practice. 
• Proven experience managing consulting projects or substantial workstreams, including planning, analysis, client communication, team coordination and delivery to deadlines. 
• Alternatively, a combination of strong consulting experience and relevant in-house commercial, strategy or revenue operations experience in a scale-up, technology or financial services environment. 
• Demonstrated experience developing commercial growth, transformation or margin improvement initiatives and translating analysis into practical recommendations. 
• Strong understanding of commercial levers such as pricing, sales productivity, channel performance, customer retention, revenue quality and go-to-market effectiveness. 
• Relevant sector exposure in B2B Technology, Media and Telecommunications, particularly software or SaaS, and/or Financial Services. 
• Fluency in relevant commercial and sector-specific KPIs, including ARR, MRR, churn, net retention, customer lifetime value and cost-to-serve. 
• Strong quantitative modelling and analytical skills, with the ability to structure complex and imperfect data and apply appropriate quality checks. 
• Excellent communication, storylining and presentation skills in English, including experience presenting findings and recommendations to senior client stakeholders. 
• Experience leading and developing project teams, including coaching junior colleagues and maintaining consistent delivery standards. 
   

What We Expect From You

You combine the mindset of a structured problem solver, the ownership of a project leader and the collaborative leadership needed to deliver through others. 

• You set a clear direction for workstreams, create practical plans and keep teams focused on the highest-value questions and outcomes. 
• You demonstrate sound judgement, prioritisation and problem-solving, particularly in ambiguous or fast-moving client environments. 
• You maintain high standards for quality, reliability and impact of outputs, and you take accountability for correcting issues before they reach the client. 
• You communicate clearly and confidently with senior stakeholders, turning complex analysis into concise, persuasive commercial narratives. 
• You build effective day-to-day client relationships, challenge constructively where appropriate and know when to involve senior colleagues. 
• You lead by example, coach junior colleagues, share knowledge and contribute to the capability and confidence of the wider team. 
• You contribute to the business beyond project delivery, including proposals, account development, IP, recruitment, knowledge sharing or improvements to ways of working. 
• You are commercially minded, use time and resources responsibly and look for legitimate ways to improve value for clients and for Analysys Mason.
