Start the new year by joining our 2027 consulting talent community.

As we plan our next phase of growth, we are inviting expressions of interest from commercially minded, data-focused individuals who would like to explore future opportunities with JMAN's consulting team. Whether you are beginning your consulting career or already leading clients, teams and commercial relationships, we invite you to register your interest in joining our team.

Why JMAN

JMAN Group is a fast-growing data engineering and data science consultancy. We work primarily with private equity funds and their portfolio companies to create commercial value using data and artificial intelligence.

Our global team of more than 650 people works across London, New York and Chennai, bringing together consultants, data scientists, data engineers, software specialists and AI experts. Together, we partner with more than 150 private equity funds and over 400 portfolio companies across a wide range of sectors and business models. With more than 20 languages spoken across the organisation, our teams bring varied professional, cultural, and geographic perspectives to their work.

JMAN was founded in 2010 by cousins Anush Newman, Co-founder and CEO, and Leo Valan, Co-founder and CTO. We have grown rapidly since 2019. In May 2023, we took a minority investment from Baird Capital, and in January 2024 we opened an office in New York, with the ambition of growing our US business to be as large as, if not larger than, our European business in 2027.

Candidates joining JMAN can expect an international, multidisciplinary environment where colleagues collaborate across offices and specialisms to solve complex commercial problems, learn from one another and deliver practical outcomes for clients.

What the work can look like

Our consulting teams work across the full private equity lifecycle. The problems are often complex and fast-moving, so we start with the investment thesis, the commercial outcome and the decisions a client needs to make. We then work alongside data scientists and engineers to turn analysis into practical recommendations, reporting tools, roadmaps and lasting data or technology assets.

• Due diligence: Assessing performance, market position, data maturity and commercial risk.
• Core reporting: Creating trusted data foundations, KPI frameworks and automated reporting for investors and management teams.
• Data and AI advisory: Identifying where data, analytics and AI can create value, then shaping prioritised strategies, use cases and delivery roadmaps.
• Value creation: Helping portfolio companies improve growth, pricing, cross-sell, retention, productivity and operational decision-making.
• Exit preparation: Strengthening data quality, reporting and the evidence behind the equity story, including a data-driven equity story and evidence-based AI narrative.

Project variety and day-to-day experience

No two engagements look the same. A consultant might spend a few weeks working at pace on a due diligence, spend several months helping a portfolio company build stronger reporting and data foundations, or work alongside a management team to identify and deliver value-creation opportunities. Day to day, this can mean structuring a commercial problem, analysing data, working with technical colleagues, discussing findings with client stakeholders and turning complex work into a clear recommendation.

Your career at JMAN goes beyond client delivery. As you grow, you will have opportunities to shape your development around your interests, strengths and where you want to take your career. That could mean contributing to a Centre of Excellence and developing expertise in an area you are passionate about, getting involved in commercial activity such as proposals, account growth and new opportunities, or helping improve how JMAN operates through internal initiatives, processes and new ways of working. Your progression is not one-size-fits-all. As your experience grows, so does the opportunity to define where you want to make an impact.

The aim is simple: do great client work while building a career that plays to your strengths and interests.

Our culture and working style

JMAN is a high-growth environment where people are trusted to contribute ideas, take ownership and learn quickly. Our teams are collaborative and low ego: we challenge one another constructively, support each other and stay focused on delivering high-quality outcomes for clients.

• Ownership with accountability: people are given autonomy and are expected to set high standards for themselves and their work.
• Curiosity and continuous learning: projects span different commercial problems, sectors and technologies, creating regular opportunities to build new skills.
• Collaboration across disciplines: consultants work closely with data scientists, engineers and client teams, learning from people with different perspectives and expertise.
• Straightforward, human communication: we value clear thinking, practical recommendations and trusted relationships over unnecessary complexity.
• Growth through feedback: people are encouraged to seek input, share ideas and support the development of colleagues at every level.

The toolkit you might use

Across JMAN, our teams bring together commercial consulting, data science, data engineering, AI and software expertise, working collaboratively across our global delivery teams. We value commercial judgement, structured problem-solving and confidence working with data and technology, wherever you sit in the business.

We take a technology-agnostic approach, focusing on understanding the problem first and then selecting the right tools, platforms and technologies for the client and their environment.

You do not need to be an expert in everything. What matters is being able to connect commercial thinking, data and technology, collaborate across disciplines and use the right toolkit to deliver meaningful outcomes for our clients.
