Our team helps Financial Services organisations build powerful, next‑generation businesses using state‑of‑the‑art digital technology to deliver compelling and innovative experiences to their customers. Our Financial Services Design practice is at the heart of our Customer‑Led Transformation offering, sitting at the intersection of business strategy, experience design, and digital technology. We help our clients achieve sustainable growth by transforming and aligning their strategy, purpose and insight, their customer and employee experience, their operations, incentives and behaviours – all accelerated by the right technologies. We focus on transformation across all areas of our client’s businesses that interact with the customer & client including marketing, sales & distribution, service, client / broker relationship management, underwriting and pricing.

We are on the lookout for individuals who can help us lead engagements where we design and deliver the future of digital banking and wealth for our clients. You will work alongside a range of our strategic alliance partners (Engine by Starling, Salesforce, Guidewire, Microsoft and others), gaining exposure to the latest in financial services technology and will have the opportunity to contribute to market‑transforming programmes around the world.

What your day will look like:

• Build a detailed understanding of digital solutions and work closely with Partners and Directors to identify and convert sales opportunities.
• Lead the development of sales materials with a deep understanding of digital banking, wealth platforms, insurance and client needs.
• Oversee teams conducting competitor analysis and market analysis to form a view of the appropriate digital solutions for target markets and clients.
• Design new go‑to‑market propositions, based on your knowledge of the capabilities of the latest financial services platforms (incl. banking, wealth and insurance).

This role is for you if:

• You have strong presentation and facilitation skills and you have attention to detail.
• You can adapt your communication style to different stakeholders (senior clients, technology vendors, engineering functions) and you are comfortable dealing with ambiguity.
