Job description / Role

Employment: Full Time

Monitor Deloitte is currently looking to recruit for experience-hire consulting roles in our MENA practice, to join the firm as a Manager to be based in UAE. Managers are responsible for leading and delivering large, complex client engagements that identify, design, and implement creative solutions to our clients’ toughest challenges. Monitor Deloitte is the strategy consulting arm of Deloitte Consulting, one of the world’s leading management consulting firms for strategy, operations, technology, and human capital advisory services.

Monitor Deloitte’s MENA practice works with clients throughout the region, from Morocco to Oman. Our work in the Middle East includes a mix of corporate strategy to C-level executives, national policy development and economic development strategies to heads of state and government ministers (e.g., Minister of Finance or Minister of Economy) and advisory services to NGOs and philanthropic organizations. In recent years, we have been involved in drafting corporate strategies for TMT and financial services clients, national industrial strategies, developing new FDI promotion strategies, and creating special economic zones, among many other projects. Our consultants also work with strategy colleagues and experts from around the world, and have supported projects in Europe, sub-Saharan Africa, North America and South Asia.

Managers can expect to be involved in identifying client issues, determining approaches to solve issues, and validating analysis and developing client recommendations. They are responsible for managing client expectations on a day-to-day basis, contribute to shaping the intellectual agenda of projects, and delivering high-impact project insights and recommendations. Managers are also responsible for participating in business development activities, and mentoring junior consultants.

In addition to these core project management skills, Managers are often expected to lead multiple client engagements simultaneously, and quickly mobilize teams to deliver meaningful analysis and client recommendations. Senior Managers are responsible for developing longer-term, strategic advisor relationships with clients, managing day-to-day aspects of increasingly large and complex projects, providing content leadership, and managing a number of ongoing sales processes.

We are looking for candidates who excel at solving problems that require logical reasoning, creative thinking, strong analytics, and the ability to untangle complex issues. Successful candidates will possess the following attributes:
• Exceptional problem solving skills
• Demonstrated leadership ability and experience
• Superb communication skills and the ability to quickly build executive-level relationships
• Strong personal drive and motivation
• Commitment to client outcomes
• Creativity and innovative thinking

The ideal candidate will have the following profile:

• Typically a minimum of 5 years relevant work experience for Managers
• Past experience in strategy consulting for government or private sector clients is required
• Industry experience in government, financial services, technology / media / telecoms, energy and resources, or life sciences and healthcare would be beneficial
• Language Requirements: English (Required); Arabic is preferred but not required

We especially encourage applications from those with a strong interest in the Middle East, previous experience in the region, and/or fluent Arabic skills. However, we welcome applications from all candidates as long as they have an interest in relocating to the Middle East and building their career with the firm.

Application Process:
Our application process combines a series of case interviews which test your ability to think through a real-life consulting scenario and present a compelling recommendation, with more standard interviews testing motivations and experience in conversations with senior members of the MD Middle East leadership.

We strongly encourage all applicants to prepare in advance for the case interview process, as it is involves a specific format which requires prior preparation. We recommend using the “Vault Guide to the Case Interview” by Mark Asher and “Case in Point” by Marc Cosentino.
