Cognizant Consulting is more than Cognizant’s consulting practice—we’re a global community of 5,000+ experts dedicated to helping clients reimagine their business. By combining deep industry expertise with advanced technology advisory capabilities, we help Global 2000 organisations transform operations, modernise platforms, and deliver measurable outcomes at scale. Now, we’re looking for a consulting leader to help shape the future of manufacturing and industrial transformation. Could it be you?
About the role
As a Consulting Manager – Manufacturing, you will make an impact by leading large‑scale transformation programmes for global manufacturing and industrial clients. You will own delivery across digital manufacturing, supply chain, operations, and B2B commerce, while shaping solutions, strengthening client relationships, and contributing to business development and practice growth. You will be a key member of Cognizant Consulting’s Manufacturing practice, working closely with senior client stakeholders, partners, and cross‑functional delivery teams.
In this role, you will:
- Act as a trusted advisor and primary consulting contact for senior client stakeholders, shaping program vision, scope, and operating models
- Lead multi‑workstream transformation programmes, overseeing analysis, solution design, and deployment while managing scope, risk, and dependencies
- Apply Cognizant consulting methodologies to deliver high‑quality, governance‑compliant outcomes across complex engagements
- Drive commercial and business development activities, including opportunity identification, proposal development, solution shaping, and client orals
- Lead, mentor, and develop high‑performing consulting teams, fostering a collaborative culture and building long‑term capability within the practice
Work model
We strive to provide flexibility wherever possible. Based on this role’s business requirements, this is a hybrid position, requiring time in a client or Cognizant office in London.
The working arrangements for this role are accurate as of the date of posting and may change based on project and client requirements. We will always be clear about role expectations.
What you must have to be considered:
- Extensive experience delivering manufacturing, supply chain, or B2B commerce transformation programmes, within consulting or industry environments
- Strong consulting skillset, including solution shaping, storytelling, and executive‑level communication
- Proven ability to lead and manage cross‑functional, multi‑disciplinary teams
- Solid understanding of enterprise platforms such as SAP, Salesforce, ServiceNow, or Microsoft Dynamics, and how they are applied in manufacturing contexts
- Strong commercial acumen and stakeholder‑management capability
- Agile Product Owner, Scrum Master, or equivalent Agile certification
These will help you succeed:
- Deep expertise in a specific manufacturing sub‑sector (e.g. industrial manufacturing, process manufacturing, heavy equipment, off‑highway)
- Experience building thought leadership, points of view, or reusable consulting assets
- Exposure to partner ecosystems and joint solution delivery models
- A passion for innovation, continuous improvement, and practice development
We’re excited to meet consulting leaders who thrive in complex environments, enjoy shaping transformation agendas, and are motivated to deliver meaningful impact for manufacturing clients. Don’t hesitate to apply—even if you meet most, but not all, of the requirements.
