If you have a passion for rallying together to solve the most complex challenges in the financial services industry, come join our dynamic FSO team!

The business problems our clients are facing today are not the same problems they have faced in the past. The rapid pace of development in Artificial Intelligence and the technology that enables it has created an urgent need to innovate and adapt to the new global business paradigm. Financial institutions are looking to build smarter and more efficient ways to operate their business, create new revenue streams, and better manage risk, through new opportunities uncovered by their data.

We believe that to fully unlock the potential of Artificial Intelligence, we need to look not only at its application, but also at the strategy level for how best to transform the enterprise into one that is technology and data focused and ready for the new age. Our clients’ problems are becoming increasingly complex while at the same time the need to automate and streamline is rising.

The opportunity

We are seeking a Senior Consultant who can support the analysis and day-to-day delivery required to move a financial institution from data center strategy(including co-lo) and Cloud into executable decisions and plans. This is not a general project coordinator role. The candidate should have hands-on exposure to at least one substantive part of the data center lifecycle and enough range to work across critical facilities, IT infrastructure, migration, resiliency and third-party providers.

The work is focused primarily on banking, capital markets, insurance and payments clients. Selected assignments may include other highly regulated or mission‑critical organizations where resilience, control, and disciplined execution are central to the client's agenda.

Your key responsibilities

Perform current-state assessments of data center and Cloud hosted environments using client data, interviews, site information and technical documents; convert findings into capacity, risk, dependency and decision views.

Support colocation and provider evaluations by developing requirements, scoring criteria, RFP content, evaluation workbooks, site‑visit materials and executive comparisons.

Analyze readiness across space, power, cooling, connectivity, compute, storage, network, backup and operational support.

Support build and migration planning through integrated schedules, RAID management, dependency analysis, readiness checkpoints, test evidence, runbooks and go/no‑go materials.

Develop application and infrastructure inventories, validate data quality, trace dependencies, and identify gaps that could affect migration sequencing or service continuity.

Prepare client‑ready Excel models, PowerPoint decision materials, process and architecture diagrams, status reports, and executive summaries.

Facilitate working sessions across facilities, infrastructure, applications, network, cyber, resiliency, sourcing, finance, risk and providers.

Own assigned work products and elevate issues with a fact base and recommended path forward.
