Engagement Manager

Guidepoint is a leading expert network firm connecting business decision-makers with experts around the world. Since our inception in 2003, we’ve arranged more than a half million interactions between our clients and experts. We support clients in identifying critical insights through a suite of services including phone consultations, in-person meetings, custom surveys and proprietary data products.

As an Engagement Manager based in our New York office, you’ll directly manage the day-to-day activities with top-tier management consulting clients. You’ll communicate and build relationships with clients to understand project needs and timelines. On a daily basis, you’ll oversee a team of Research Analysts, helping them to identify the right types of experts, develop screening questions, and connect industry experts with your clients. Using the strong relationships that you develop based on service excellence, you’ll collaborate with your Business Development colleagues to expand use of our services. You’ll be a solid team player who thinks independently and has built analytical capabilities to help drive project completion.

The successful Engagement Manager is a high-energy professional with collaborative, leadership, and analytical skills. That sounds like a tall order, but you’re no ordinary candidate. While you never shy away from hands-on work, you’ve already amassed experience delegating and overseeing the work of others. You know how to lead and influence others to meet critical client project deadlines. You love working fast almost as much as you love working smart. You’re proud of your ability to think creatively and find opportunities to grow relationships and accounts and look forward to further developing those skills. In this position, you’ll hone your management and leadership skills, providing consulting industry insight and sharing best practices with colleagues on other teams and in other offices. And you’ll help build our service teams by participating in campus recruiting events and on-site interviews. You will have the opportunity to gain knowledge across various industries (Consumer Goods & Services, Energy, Industrials & Basic Materials, Financial & Business Services, Tech, Media & Telecom and Legal). Guidepoint offers career mobilitiy, temporary international assignments in our global offices and work-life balance.
