Why Join Proudfoot?

Proudfoot is a global management consulting firm with a singular focus: delivering operational performance improvement that endures. Our teams operate inside client organizations, working shoulder to shoulder with the people responsible for results. Our proven methodology, The Proudfoot System (TPS), provides the structure and discipline to convert complex operational challenges into quantifiable gains.

The Growth & Delivery Manager is a senior leadership position carrying full accountability for engagement outcomes, client value delivery, and account growth. This is a role for someone who takes ownership of results and the development of the people around them.

What You'll Be Responsible For

Delivery & Results Accountability

• Own the delivery of agreed business outcomes across the engagement lifecycle, from mobilization through close-out
• Operate directly within client environments - on the floor, in the control room, at the planning table - to identify performance gaps and drive targeted improvement
• Apply The Proudfoot System to structure the engagement, maintain methodological rigor, and ensure consistent execution against plan
• Monitor performance against targets, conduct formal audits, and take decisive corrective action when results are at risk
• Manage the engagement budget and project P&L, ensuring financial discipline within agreed commercial parameters

Solution Development & Sustainability

• Develop solutions in partnership with client teams, ensuring that knowledge, ownership, and operating capability transfer progressively throughout the engagement
• Design and deliver structured workshops, coaching programs, and training that build the client's capacity to operate independently
• Ground every intervention in the client's operational reality so that improvements hold beyond Proudfoot's involvement

Client Partnership & Stakeholder Leadership

• Engage with senior client leaders to define the highest-value problems, align organizational priorities, and maintain momentum through governance and steering forums
• Establish trust through consistent delivery, transparency, and an unwavering focus on the client's business objectives
• Represent Proudfoot with credibility at all levels of the client organization

Account Growth & Commercial Impact

• Grow the client relationship by demonstrating measurable bottom-line impact and identifying where additional Proudfoot capability can extend that value
• Contribute to proposal development, scope definition, and commercial negotiations as the engagement evolves
• Support broader market growth in alignment with regional and European strategic priorities

People Leadership & Development

• Take direct accountability for the professional development of the Proudfoot consultants on your team - their growth is a core measure of your effectiveness in this role
• Invest equally in building client team capability, equipping individuals to lead improvements with confidence
• Provide clear, honest, and constructive feedback that raises the standard for both Proudfoot and client personnel
• Set and uphold the benchmark for how Proudfoot operates - disciplined, embedded, and accountable

Day-to-Day Life

No two days are the same. You will move between shop floors, operational environments, and executive boardrooms - frequently within the same week. Travel and operational variety are inherent to the role. Reporting to the VP Growth & Delivery, you will balance hands-on operational involvement with stakeholder management, team development, and the commercial thinking required to expand the account.
