Our client list includes major organisations in banking, capital markets, insurance and investment management, as well as technology, mining, media, pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, public sector and consumer goods including retail, automotive, hospitality and services sectors.

The engagements you lead will require you to utilise your prior knowledge and experience to assist clients in designing or refining their TPRM frameworks and / or approach to sustainable supply chain and capabilities addressing factors such as:

• Helping clients bring automation and Generative AI based solutions to achieve efficiency in their TPRM and supply chain management programmes.
• Understanding and identifying appropriate technology and operating model solutions for a range of challenges related to their supply chains. This might include traceability solutions, digital product passport solutions, risk intelligence tooling and GenAI solutions to our clients’ supply chain risk and TPRM challenges;

• Enhancing and embedding the operational processes and controls required by an organisation to effectively monitor its third party relationships.

In addition, you will build an understanding of how to balance engagement risk and engagement economics alongside managing engagement teams to deliver optimal outcomes for our clients.

You will be responsible for pioneering new capabilities and ways of working in the team, and helping to bring new ideas and solutions to our client offerings. You will drive new opportunities and marketplace activities, as well as leading proposals and winning new work. This will be a market facing role, and you will work with the Directors and Partners in the team to grow the business.

You will be a flexible team member who is willing and excited to dive in to a wide range of activities and different types of project.

Finally, you will work with peers and more junior team members to develop new capabilities across the team and take a role in leading junior colleagues across client engagements as well as proposals and eminence activities.

A typical EE advisory engagement will involve:

Advisory engagements usually involve working as part of a small team (typically 2-5 people) to embed yourselves for a fixed period of time alongside a team of client stakeholders and work collaboratively to deliver positive, high value programmes of change / improvement for our clients. They require a high degree of stakeholder management and change management activity as well as strong governance and project management. The key phases of an advisory engagement usually include benchmarking existing capability, designing, and developing an enhanced capability, establishing or implementing that enhanced capability and supporting the client to adopt and embed the new way of working. Advisory engagements can range in duration from 6-8 weeks for the smaller programmes through to 6-12 months for the larger programmes.

In addition, we often subsequently support our clients with implementation, technology enablement and operation of their TPRM and Supply Chain Risk programmes. Our ‘operate’ capability includes a range of innovative solutions that we offer to our clients to help them deliver their TPRM programmes, including supply chain risk intelligence, integrity due diligence, outsourced risk assessment managed services and third party risk monitoring programmes. Each of these programmes are different in nature and require team members to think flexibly and independently, with a high focus on problem solving for our clients to help manage their most complex supply chain risk challenges.
