  • Elevate analysis into client‑ready insight using data, analytics, and research.
  • Drive project planning and execution: scope, workplan, timelines, team cadence, quality, economics and margin.
  • Create actionable deliverables and help clients translate strategy into real‑world implementation.
  • Build trusted executive relationships, present findings to senior audiences.
  • Lead and coach high‑performing consultant teams.
  • Serve as a Career Development Advisor and recruit/onboard FS talent.
  • Contribute to the practice through capability building, thought leadership, and business development support.

• You’re a high‑performing consultant with strong problem‑solving, people‑leading, and executive‑influence skills.
• Experience
  • 7+ years in strategy or management consulting (or comparable) with financial services clients.
  • Expertise in commercial growth topics: growth strategy, go‑to‑market, pricing & packaging, value proposition, monetization, segmentation & analytics‑led strategy, product/portfolio strategy, distribution, omnichannel strategy, sales effectiveness.
• Strong analytical skills that translate complex analysis into crisp insight.
• Strong communication and executive‑ready presentation skills.
• Track record managing multiple projects—workplans, budgets, timelines, delivery quality.
• Collaborative, entrepreneurial mindset with inclusive leadership style.
• Interest/experience in selling and shaping work (new & follow‑on).
• Willingness to travel 25% or 2‑3 days in office.
• Spanish fluency is a plus.
• Undergraduate degree required; MBA or advanced degree preferred.
• Existing North American FS network is a plus.
