Our work combines deep analytical thinking with practical execution. You will work across domains, tribes and functions, partnering closely with senior leadership to ensure strategies are not only visionary, but also actionable and scalable.

• Translate strategy into transformation plans and implementation roadmaps.
• Build business cases and advise on resource allocation and performance improvement.
• Solve complex cross-domain challenges and provide strategic advice to senior leadership.

How to succeed

We hire smart people like you for your potential. Our biggest expectation is that you’ll stay curious. Keep learning. Take on responsibility. In return, we’ll back you to develop into an even more awesome version of yourself.

• Bring 10+ years of relevant experience in strategy consulting, corporate strategy, transformation or senior business-change roles, preferably including external management consulting experience and exposure to financial services or another complex international environment.
• Demonstrate a strong track record of independently leading complex, enterprise-wide assignments with visible executive-level impact.
• Apply an advanced consulting toolkit, including hypothesis-led problem solving, quantitative analysis, synthesis, storytelling and facilitation.
• Bring deep experience in operating-model design, organizational transformation, governance and translating strategy into execution.
• Use credibility and sound judgement to advise, influence and constructively challenge senior leaders, including in sensitive organizational environments.
• Create clarity in ambiguity, make trade-offs explicit and mobilize stakeholders around a common direction.
• Lead effectively without relying on hierarchy, while coaching others and raising the quality of collective output.
• Hold a master’s degree or demonstrate an equivalent level of thinking and working. Relevant strategy, change, Agile or Lean certifications are an advantage.
• Communicate excellently in written and spoken English.

We value leadership impact and adaptability as much as strict checklist experience.
