Senior Manager

Overview:

Baringa Partners is a fast growing, award-winning consultancy with over 1,300 consultants, and offices within six of the world’s leading markets. We are a different type of consultancy – from what we do to how we do it; we put our people first and are passionate about creating lasting impact and results. We achieve this impact through teams of highly experienced industry and consulting professionals working collaboratively with and as part of our client’s teams. We work in teams rich with experienced leaders, affording our junior team members the opportunity to learn and develop deep industry and technical skills. We are proudly independent, and thus bring our own point of view, and challenge to help clients create outcomes that are right for them – we often are the critical friend.

Following market leading growth, we have ambitious expansion plans in 2022 and beyond, and are currently looking for industry leaders and consultants with a range of experience levels to join our growing Consumer Products & Retail practice.

Baringa believes that diversity is paramount to driving creativity, innovation, and value for our clients and for our people, by creating an environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging is central to our culture. We’ve achieved B Corp™ status, meaning we’ve been independently verified as using business as a force for good. Being a B Corp is proof Baringa meets high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. We view this as the beginning, not the end, of a journey: B Corp status is now written into our articles of association, ensuring we continue making life better for our clients, people, the communities in which we work, and the planet.

We are looking for talented people who can combine strong Consumer Products & Retail industry consulting experience with an entrepreneurial spirit and passion to help build and grow this target sector in the US.
