About the role
As a Senior Consultant – Manufacturing, you will make an impact by supporting high‑profile transformation programmes across Manufacturing, Supply Chain, B2B Commerce, and Operations.

What you must have to be considered:
- Experience in Manufacturing, Supply Chain, B2B Commerce, or Operations, within consulting or industry environments
