Senior Consultant
Strategy & Business Architecture – Capital & Private Markets Practice

Electric Mind’s Capital Markets Practice helps clients reimagine their operating models, data architectures, and control environments across the trade lifecycle. We partner with leading institutions to modernize their front-to-back value chain, drive operational efficiency, and enable regulatory and market-driven transformation.

The Senior Consultant is a leadership-track delivery professional within Electric Mind's Capital & Private Markets practice. You will lead transformation work streams independently, design target-state operating models and business architectures, and serve as the primary client-facing expert on your engagement. You bring deep capital and/or private markets domain expertise - at this level, domain knowledge is not developed on the job, it is the foundation from which you advise clients.

You will mentor junior team members, contribute to business development, and operate as a visible, credible voice of Electric Mind in client organizations.
