Descrizione del lavoro

Type: Onsite

Advise. Invest. Build. Meet ALAIKA — a new kind of Financial Services firm  — globally scaling, headquartered in Munich. The work is hard. The bar is high.  Partner in 6-7 years possible , for the ones who can keep up a n d actually build a business themselves on our platform. 

Stop reading if any of these describe you:

• Drive. You need someone to fire the starting gun  →  We only hire people who can prove they are intrinsically driven and execute.
• Ownership. You spot the problem and walk it to your boss  →  We fall in love with problems. Own them. Solve them. Ship solutions.
• Speed. Slow is your default  →  Speed compounds. Be smart and brave enough to select 80/20 in the right way.
• Mindset. “Not possible” is part of your vocabulary  →  We hire people who always find a way.

Still there? Then ALAIKA might be for you.

At ALAIKA, our vision is to build the future of Financial Services with  three brands under one roof — Advisory (Strategy Consulting), Capital (Private Equity), Building (Company Builder). Right now, we are  in the midst of building our trojan horse ALAIKA Advisory. 

The ambition: building the leading Financial-Services-specific entrepreneurial holding — Fortune 500 access, PE discipline, Silicon Valley technology-depth and thinking.  Three networks that compound and multiply.

• One industry. Financial Services. Nothing else.
• One focus. The intersection of business and technology — across Strategic Transformations, AI & Data Intelligence, and Cybersecurity.
• One goal. Being the go-to partner for the world's leading Fortune 500 financial services companies — and the ones we might help build into that.

Founded in October 2022 by  Johanna von Geyr (build-up and led Financial Services Practice for a NASDAQ-listed strategy consultancy) and  Harald Braunstein (serial entrepreneur with exits incl. IPO), we bring together deep functional domain expertise and networks in global Financial Services, with a proven track record in building, scaling, and investing in leading software product companies.

The role and what you will work on

• Advise. Take on the most pressing strategic and technology challenges of the world’s leading financial services companies — across  Strategy, Data & AI, and Cyber. In the room with decision-makers from day one.
• Own. Own your deliverables  and your client relationships end-to-end.  Youarenot support staff for the partnership.
• Lead. Run workstreams and projects independently.  Multiply the output of everyone around you — not just your own.
• Sell. Drive business development that other strategic consultancies reserve for managers and partners. At ALAIKA, building the business is not a privilege reserved for managers and partners. It is an expectation.
• Grow. Become the rare profile the market is short on — analytical mastermind, financial services expert, entrepreneurial dealmaker.  Partner-track from day one.
• Build. We are scaling, with real building left to do — IP, processes, go-to-market, strategy. You do not just deliver client work;  you co-build the firm .  That is not a slogan — it is your Tuesday.

When you are a fit

“Show me an athlete who did well academically. An athlete because they know what it takes to win and they have had to experience loss.”

— Kenneth C. Griffin, Founder of Citadel

You will work alongside intrinsically driven people chasing an uncapped career — people who do "what it takes". You fear "being one more number stuck in middle management". 

Your goal is to make it to the top: at ALAIKA itself, at a leading investment or financial services firm, or in a company you build yourself — ALAIKA can help with that too. 

• Book-smart. Strong academic foundation. Think in structures, not gut feel.
• Street-smart. Read the room fast. Prioritise ruthlessly. Grasp commercial reality.
• People-smart. Communicate with precision — clear, direct, persuasive.  Build trust across functions and seniority.
• Athlete performance mindset. High aspirations. Grit. Learn faster than the environment changes.
• Entrepreneurial guts. Self-confident achiever. Act first, apologise later — speed is everything . Take full ownership of work normally reserved for far more senior profiles.

What bring

• Background. Top 10–20% of your class at a top-tier university. Analytical field — CS, Math, Physics, Finance, or equivalent rigour.
• Experience. 1–2+ years in a high-pressure, results-driven environment — top strategy consultancy, PE/VC-backed company, fast-growing tech, or demanding corporate financial services role. Hands-on Data and / or AI experience required. Financial services experience preferred.
• Leadership. You have led — a team, a club, a project, a cause.  We hire people who make things happen.
• Analytical edge. Data-driven by default. Leverage data to drive decisions, not just decorate slides.
• Languages. Fluent in English and German. Additional languages are a plus.

Why join ALAIKA

• Partner track from day one. Six years from early careers to partner possible.
• Compensation. Above market with very entrepreneurial-driven bonus structures.
• Stellar Network. Shoulder-to-shoulder with financial services executives running today’s giants and the founders building tomorrow’s.
• Offices. Munich and Barcelona. More coming.

Plus: the essentials done right — EGYM Wellpass, bike leasing, a kitchen stocked with healthy food and team events worth showing up for: Oktoberfest, team dinners, and more.

Advise the leaders. Build what comes next.
Invest in the future of Financial Services.
