About the role

As Senior Manager, Internal Consulting, you’ll lead this new team from the ground up.
You’ll build systems, lead projects, and develop a small but mighty team of two Associates (and growing).
You’ll scope and deliver cross-functional projects that strengthen the foundation for scale—whether testing operating models for expansion, improving core internal systems, or partnering with leadership to solve strategic bottlenecks.
You’ll think like a management consultant but act like an operator: comfortable moving from frameworks and data to field realities and follow-through.

What you’ll do

Scope and build a new function. Define how Internal Consulting adds value and sets standards across F4E.
Deliver high-value projects. Strengthen the systems that enable F4E’s national expansion and advisory work across Africa.
Lead and grow a team. Manage two Associates and shape their professional development.
Engage senior leaders. Work directly with the COO and functional heads on organization-wide priorities.
Develop as a systems leader. Build experience that positions you for future strategic or operational leadership roles.

Who you are

You think like a management consultant: you can structure ambiguous problems, use data to drive clarity, and communicate insight simply.
You’ve managed people and projects and enjoy both.
You have 5-7 years of experience in consulting, strategy, finance, engineering, or similarly analytical roles in fast-paced, client-service environments.
You’re confident shifting between doing and leading: building analyses one day and coaching your team the next.
You have strong organizational and communication skills; you can synthesize information for any audience.
You value curiosity and humility, your success comes from making others better.
You’re energized by purpose-driven work and excited by the idea of building systems that feed millions of children.
