NEW GROUND WON’T BREAK ITSELF.
Every day our teams help people in businesses and communities to do what is right and achieve their goals.
A look into the role
Our clients’ most senior decision-makers, such as CFOs, work with many parts of our firm at once. They should hear from us as one Grant Thornton, not as several separate teams. As our Buyer & Audience Programme Manager, you’ll make that happen.
Joining our Commercial Growth & Strategy team and reporting to the Head of Demand Generation, you’ll lead our firmwide programmes for a small number of priority senior buyers, starting with our Finance Leaders Programme for CFOs. This is a balanced role, roughly half strategy and half hands-on delivery. You’ll shape who we talk to, why, and what works, then brief our Campaigns team to bring it to life and guide go-to-market (GTM) leads across the firm who want to reach the same audience. It’s a new role with real room to grow: we’re starting focused, proving the model, and expanding to more buyer groups over time.
You won’t be starting from scratch. One of our largest buyer programmes is already up and running and working well, giving you a proven template to learn from and evolve, and the team has plenty of know-how to share. This is a chance to get under the skin of what our buyers really care about, put the client first, and make a real difference to how we engage them.
This is a hybrid role that can be based at any of our UK offices. We’d ask you to spend one to two days a week with your stakeholders, often in London, and a little more at the start while you build relationships.
In this role, you’ll:
Knowing you’re right for us
We’ve set ambitious growth targets for the firm, and we need the right people to help us achieve these. We’re looking for people who will bring ambition and drive to their role. In changing markets, we need to be able to work at pace and be adaptable to change and to be curious, asking questions of ourselves, each other and our clients to ensure we are delivering the services and quality we expect.
Joining us as a Manager, the minimum criteria you’ll need is experience running an audience, account-based marketing (ABM) or buyer programme across multiple business lines, and the confidence to influence senior stakeholders without formal authority.
It would be great if you had some of the following skills, but don’t worry if you don’t tick every box, we’ll help you develop along the way:
Knowing we’re right for you
The culture at Grant Thornton is what sets us apart, we’re known for our inclusive culture and creating environments where all our people can flourish. The things that set you apart, we value them, and this helps us all to perform at our best.
Our values are the unwavering principles that shape our daily behaviours and decisions, alongside our drive to do the right thing. We’re looking for people who align with our values and are purposefully driven, actively curious and candid but kind. You can learn more about our values in practice here.
It’s not just about our culture and values, in addition to a competitive salary and reward package, you’ll also get:
- Tailored development programmes and access to coaching
- Flexible bank holidays – allowing you to celebrate the days that are important to you
- Benefits including pension, life assurance and private medical, additional holiday purchasing and health benefits
- And benefits giving you access to shopping discounts, gym memberships, financial advice

How we work
We have a trust-based way of working, driven by responsible people who have the best interests of our firm and our clients at heart. Our how we work framework gives flexibility in where, how, and when we work to deliver the best results for our clients, whilst helping you keep a balance between work and life. Life is more than work, the things you do, and the people you’re with outside of work matter, that’s why we’re happy to look at flexible working options for all our roles. That is how it should be.
We’re looking for people who can help drive the business forward, who want to contribute, spark fresh ideas and go beyond expectations. People who want to be able to proudly do what’s right, for the firm, our clients, our people and themselves. It’s how it should be.
