Manager & Senior Manager in Financial Services Strategy
Our client, a small but fast growing consulting firm in London, places its emphasis on practical delivery. This means that it bridges the gap between theoretical strategy houses and the traditional, transactional approach of the Big 4.
It also has the people to do it, combining professionals from a range of consulting firms such as AT Kearney, Deloitte, McKinsey, KPMG, Accenture, IBM and high achieving industry practitioners from tier I banks and retailers.
Having attracted high achieving partners from top tier consulting firms in the FS space, the firm is continually expanding its client portfolio and scope of work. It is therefore looking to grow aggressively at manager and principal grade with headcount target of 4+ managers and 2+ principals, with principal generally considered 'partners in waiting'.
For the right candidates this presents a fantastic opportunity to get a unique blend of experience across the entire consulting spectrum from strategy formulation to delivery, all while working with top practitioners in this field.
The successful candidates will:
- Have thorough, recent experience working within Big 4 / Accenture or a top tier strategy house
- Be within the upper quartiles of performance and pushing for promotion - this opportunity offers high achieving practitioners at senior consultant and manager level to move and progress their career in an entrepreneurial environment to the levels at which they operate
- Have comprehensive consulting skill set including: client interaction, stakeholder management, setting up PMO, TOM design delivery, IT advisory, transformational change and analytical strategy formulation
- Have solid experience leading teams and delivering work streams within larger pieces of work as well as delivering significant projects within large engagements
- have gained considerable (50% of total) experience on projects working with financial services clients from strategy level right through to delivery
- Have recent experience in consulting
- Have a strong desire to become a principle and partner - principles are generally considered 'partners in waiting'

In return, by getting exposure to cutting edge engagements with some of the best consultants in the business, you will enhance your skill set and progress your career at an unprecedented pace. You'll be very marketable for senior roles in industry or larger consulting firms in years to come, but at the pace this firm is growing it is reasonable to expect that you'll achieve senior manager within short timescales and be on a partner path within a few years.
