Senior Consultant – AI Transformation

We are looking for a Senior Consultant to join Business Transformation Solutions (BTS), Schroders’ centre of excellence for internal consulting.

Reporting to the Principal Consultant, you will support strategic design and transformation delivery across Public Markets, Private Assets and Wealth Management. You will work closely with senior stakeholders, including Executive Committee and functional leaders, to shape and mobilise high-impact initiatives that support Schroders’ objectives to Simplify, Scale and Deliver.

You will bring a strong core consulting background, with experience of leading work streams, developing business cases, assessing opportunities and translating complex analysis into practical recommendations. Experience in AI-enabled consulting or AI transformation is desirable but not essential.

We serve a diverse client base that includes pension schemes, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, foundations, high net worth individuals, family offices, as well as end clients through partnerships with distributors, financial advisers, and online platforms.

Established in 1804, we have around 5,500 people across 36 global locations. Schroders' success can be attributed to its diversified business model, spanning different asset classes, client types and geographies.

We moved into our new HQ in the City of London in 2018. We’re close to our clients, in the heart of the UK’s financial centre and we have everything we need to work flexibly.
