Director - Insurance Tech Consulting

Alpha Financial Markets Consulting (Alpha FMC) is the leading global consultancy to the Asset & Wealth Management and insurance industries. We are a boutique management consulting firm that offers our clients a competitive edge through our expertise and industry insight. Our team of over 1180 consultants is of a uniquely high calibre and by focusing on these sectors alone, we build deep knowledge and experience within our industry.

We work with a blue‑chip client base, including 80% of the top 50 global asset management firms, and work with over 660 clients across the globe. We have our headquarters located in the United Kingdom with a presence across North America, UK, Europe, MENA and APAC.

Following a hugely successful AIM listing where Alpha listed with a market cap of £160m in 2017, the company enjoyed further substantial growth before selling to one of the world’s leading quoted private asset growth investors (Bridgepoint) for £626m in August 2024. As such, we are now at a critical turning point in our growth. We are looking to grow the company across all levels.

Pivotal to our success in this, we will be assembling the next generation of leaders, responsible for growing, elevating our market position further and nurturing the junior talent through the business.

Due to continued growth, we are now looking to recruit a Director into our Insurance practice, based in London, to oversee and manage Tech Transformation projects for a variety of clients.
