Are you a highly organised and communicative professional with a passion for client success? We are seeking a talented Assistant Manager to join Deloitte's flagship Transition Lab programme, delivering unparalleled executive development experiences for our most senior clients.


This is a pivotal role within Deloitte's renowned Transition Lab programme, celebrated as the 'gold standard' for executive development. Our Labs provide highly personalised, confidential workshops that empower senior leaders to navigate new roles, assess capabilities, and plan for the year ahead.

As part of the Executive and Board Programme (EBP) team - which leads successful eminence and relationship programmes like the Deloitte Academy and Next Generation Programmes - you will gain invaluable exposure to senior stakeholders, enhancing your business acumen and awareness of critical client issues.
