[Hiring] Engagement Manager @Clear Engine

Role Description

We are looking for a senior operator to run ClearEngine client engagements end to end, from strategy through execution, and to hold the founder relationship. You think at the altitude of the whole business and have operated at ground level, the combination ClearEngine is built on. You lead workstreams, make the financial and strategic calls, and build the team beneath you as engagements grow.

• Run engagements end to end. Own the workplan, the cadence, and the calls across each engagement, from diagnosis and priorities through execution and handoff.
• Hold the founder relationship. Carry the client relationship directly, including through disagreement. You defend a recommendation and sell the harder call, not just deliver the work.
• Make the financial and strategic calls. Read the P&L and the budget, pressure-test the model, and set direction on pricing, positioning, and where the business should spend its next dollar.
• Translate strategy to tactics and back. Turn a direction into what happens Monday, then read what reality returns and adjust the strategy.
• Lead and build the team. Direct the specialists and juniors on your engagements, develop them, and build the layer beneath you as the work scales.

Qualifications

• +6 years of experience working in high-growth companies and dynamic, fast-paced environments.
• Owned a client relationship, ideally with experience working directly with C-suite executives.
• Made decisions against a P&L and a budget.
• Operated, not only advised.
• Worked across at least two functions.
• English proficiency. Clear written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong organizational and project coordination skills.
• Strong ownership mindset with a high level of reliability, follow-through, and attention to detail.

Requirements

• You’ve worked in both high-growth and structured environments.
• You combine strategic thinking with execution.
• You bring rigor to your thinking.
• You are highly self-directed.
