Strategy Consultant – Financial Services

My client is the strategy division of the one of the world’s leading professional services firms. They work across a variety of sectors and have a brand name that is globally recognised for delivering high quality strategy consulting. This opportunity is within their Financial Services team, they consult leading financial institutions including investment banks, retail banks, insurance firms and FinTech companies, typically across five core propositions – M&A, innovations, digital strategy, transformation and growth strategy.

As a Consultant you will be core to the delivery of the work. Key responsibilities will include:

– Conducting extensive and insightful analysis to support the business case for potential strategies
– Developing evidence based strategies that support the client’s needs

By joining a smaller, niche consultancy, a Consultant has heightened responsibility and better opportunities for client exposure.

Progression is not rigid or tied to cycles, it is assessed on a case by case basis and strong performers have a great opportunity to progress quickly.

– Between 2-4 years’ experience working in FS strategy, either in consulting or in-house
