Commodity Trading Consulting Senior Manager – Big 4

Big 4 Management Consultancy - Commodity Trading Consulting Manager or Senior Manager

I'm working on an exclusive mandate for a "Big 4 management consultancy" to hire a Commodity Trading Consulting Manager or ideally a Senior Manager into their Central London office (with remote working) to spearhead the aggressive growth of their commodity trading advisory business, based from London.

Joining their Advisory Services management consulting business unit, my client is looking to hire an exceptional Commodity Trading Consulting Manager or Senior Manager to help lead and grow their commodity trading business. My client is one of the largest and most prestigious firms on the planet, a house-hold blue-chip name/brand, with a reputation for excellence, hiring the brightest and best people from graduate right up to Partner level. They already have a global network of Commodity clients that includes several major investment banks, utilities, energy majors (including the super majors) and commodity trading houses.

Your role will be a mix of delivery (roughly 70% delivering and managing client engagements), 15% internal practice management/leadership (including staff development, strategy direction, hiring etc) and 15% business development (generating new clients and revenue), although you can grow into the business development part of the role. You will be joining a specialised Commodity Trading advisory practice so it is 100% essential that you have a proven and extensive track record in commodity trading advisory consulting, including working for a rival consultancy business.

This could be an excellent opportunity for someone at Manager or Senior Manager grade looking to step up and take on greater responsibility in a rapidly growing practice.

My client is an equal opportunities employer who pride themselves on hiring the best applicant irrespective of gender/race/sexuality/religion etc and then an inclusive culture, including offering flexible working, as well as working from home (WFH) for the rest of 2020.

Salary will vary depending on the seniority of the applicant, but they pay approximately 20% more than their Big 4 consulting rivals across all levels, as look to source the best talent from direct competitors as well as outside and also invest heavily in training and professional development, which includes financially sponsoring and supporting studying for MBAs.

Key Skills Required:

• Strong commodity trading business knowledge gained in any commodity, including Oil, Gas, Power, LNG, Emissions, Coal, Metals (Precious and Base), Coffee, Grain, Sugar Trading etc
• Previous client facing / consultancy experience, ideally gained working for another professional services tier one consulting firm is 100% ESSENTIAL
• You could thus currently be working for a rival Big 4 management consultancy, blue sky strategy consultancy, IT management consultancies or possibly an ETRM / CTRM software vendor
• Knowledge of Energy Trading & Risk Management (ETRM) and CTRM (Commodity Trading & Risk Management) systems would be useful

• London based or happy to relocate to be based in London
• Keen to travel and spend time on client site as needed in the UK and some potential European travel
• Excellent academic track record inclusive of a 2:1, 1st class or equivalent international degree from a leading university
• Fluency in other European languages is desirable, but English is the business language used so 100% fluency in English is 100% essential
• You'll need to have either a British or other EU passport, Indefinite Leave to Remain or a Tier One Visa to be eligible for these opportunities, as at this time my client is not looking to sponsor visas

Basic/package: £70,000 - £95,000 basic + 20% bonus + excellent benefits
