Business Manager

The Business Manager drives business growth by achieving turnover through business development, margin, and headcount objectives. They build and maintain client relationships, ensure adherence to internal and client processes, manage their client P&L  and recruit their own team. Additionally, they manage consultants to ensure high satisfaction and retention, and actively participate in company initiatives and knowledge sharing.
