About the Role
Support enterprise-wide strategic initiatives through structured problem solving, robust analysis and actionable insight. Own defined workstreams, translate analysis into clear, structured executive materials, manage stakeholders at a working level, and drive delivery.
Responsibilities
- Break down strategic questions into components, develop hypotheses, and generate insight-driven recommendations with clear implications, risks and assumptions.
- Lead defined workstreams end-to-end — managing timelines, tracking risks, and ensuring delivery to plan and standard.
- Develop structured storylines and produce high-quality written output that clearly communicates key messages, tailored to different audiences.
- Manage interactions with stakeholders at a working level — building relationships and driving buy-in within your workstream.
- Apply analytical tools to generate insights independently, ensuring outputs are logically structured, evidence-based and decision-relevant.
- Articulate the implications of analysis clearly — including risks and assumptions — so outputs inform enterprise decision-making.
- Deliver timely, high-quality workstream outputs, including management of dependencies, risks and progress tracking.
- Produce structured, audience-appropriate written output and narratives that support clear understanding and decision-making.
- Establish effective relationships with stakeholders, managing day-to-day interactions and building alignment around recommendations.
- Support and mentor junior team members informally; contribute to team knowledge-sharing and continuous improvement.
- Comply with the client's Code, Purpose, Values and relevant policies.
- Respect relevant regulatory obligations and Conduct Rules.
- Promote a culture where risk, including financial crime and fraud, is managed effectively through prompt identification, escalation and reporting.
Requirements
- Interest in and knowledge of financial services — customers, products and services.
- Strong analytical skillset and the ability to extract key insights from data and research, including using digital tools and AI capabilities.
- Ability to structure a defined problem into logical components and take ownership of defined modules and deliverables within workstreams.
- Impactful verbal and written communication — able to convey complex information and ideas clearly.
- Ability to juggle big-picture strategic thinking with meticulous attention to detail.
- Experience developing a strategy toolkit and approaches to structuring, analysis and story-lining.
- Experience in strategy consulting or an in-house strategy function.
