West Monroe is seeking a Manager, Energy & Utilities to help utilities and energy companies navigate transformation across their businesses, operations, technology, and customer experiences. Our team is at the forefront of the transformation taking place in the energy and utilities industry, from up-front strategic advisement through implementation of the field and back-office technologies that are central to the energy transition. From day one at West Monroe, our people have the opportunity to make a meaningful, hands-on impact for their clients while growing their careers through focused professional development and continuous learning.

This role combines industry expertise with consulting leadership to manage complex engagements, build trusted client relationships, and deliver measurable outcomes.

  • Manage engagement scope, budget, staffing, multiple workstreams, deliverables, profitability, risks, and client communications while maintaining high standards for quality.
  • Apply Energy & Utilities industry knowledge to challenges such as grid modernization, operational transformation, customer experience, asset management, regulatory priorities, and technology modernization.
  • Build trusted relationships with client stakeholders, facilitate executive discussions, and connect recommendations to measurable business outcomes.
  • Lead and develop multidisciplinary teams, providing clear direction, feedback, and coaching throughout engagements.
  • Leverage AI tools to accelerate analysis, synthesize complex information, and support data-driven recommendations for clients, exercising sound judgment in evaluating outputs.
  • Apply AI technologies (e.g., generative AI, automation tools, data models) to enhance insights, improve delivery efficiency, and elevate the quality of client outcomes.

Business Development

  • Identify opportunities within existing client relationships and participate in pursuits for new clients, change orders, and engagement extensions.
  • Lead or contribute to proposals, solution development, scoping, and client presentations.
  • Build relationships across the Energy & Utilities market and help strengthen West Monroe’s visibility and reputation.

Practice Development

  • Develop reusable approaches, methodologies, tools, and intellectual capital that strengthen Energy & Utilities capabilities.
  • Share industry and functional expertise with colleagues and help build skills across the practice.
  • Coach and mentor team members and contribute to recruiting, retention, and an inclusive internal culture.

What You Will Bring

  • 7+ years of relevant consulting, Energy & Utilities, or professional services experience, including experience leading teams and complex workstreams or engagements.
  • Strong knowledge of the Energy & Utilities industry and the business, operational, regulatory, or technology challenges facing utilities.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage project scope, financials, risks, resources, and executive stakeholder relationships.
  • Experience contributing to business development, proposals, and expansion of existing client relationships.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, facilitation, and written and verbal communication skills.
  • Experience integrating AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT) into day-to-day workflows to enhance productivity and insight generation, coupled with strong critical thinking to assess accuracy, mitigate bias, and ensure high-quality outputs.
  • Ability to travel 50%-75% annually.
  • A commitment to inclusion and diversity, and openness to new ideas and perspectives.
  • Ability to work permanently in the United States without sponsorship.
