Job description

We’re growing. Fairly rapidly. And that’s why we need you. We’re a dynamic, London-based firm that provides independent consultancy services and bespoke technology solutions to both top-tier and boutique investment clients within the private capital markets industry.

Formed in 2011, we have amassed a wealth of experience in delivering technical projects. We’ve worked on over 200 projects, for over 30 clients, across 20 different countries. We work directly with our multi-national client base, providing innovative solutions using a variety of industry recognised software.

Our team is made up of experts in implementation, reporting and configuration of these platforms, as well as highly skilled developers who deliver bespoke software solutions.

Professional Services Overview

Whilst most consultancy practices can tell a client how to achieve a goal, we pride ourselves on our ability to roll up our sleeves and realise that goal. Our clients value our service because we understand their business and the technology available on the market. We are great with data, know what it means, and always deliver high quality results.

How we work

As we look to expand our services offering, we are seeking a candidate to join our growing team. The role offers opportunities for:

Valued client work

You will work directly with our clients and partners, providing critical and valued work and gaining exposure to a wide variety of stakeholders, from Business & Investment teams to fellow IT professionals.

Innovation in a collaborative environment

We are always looking for opportunities to improve our offering through use of new technologies and these enhancements are often incubated from the ideas of our consultants.

Roles within the professional services team provides exposure to both a wide variety of technologies and the private capital markets industry. This role provides rich scope for training and personal development and is a fantastic environment for candidates to acquire in-depth knowledge of our markets and solutions, and work with our clients in an advisory capacity.

For consultants with more technical ambitions, this role also provides valuable experience which can lead to advancement opportunities in our data strategy or development practices.

This is an on-site, full-time Professional Services Consultant role based in London.

• Working effectively within a project management structure, managing tasks within the time frames prescribed and ensuring deliverables are of high quality.
• Managing small client projects with assistance, escalating appropriately when there are risks to deliverable timeframes.
• Using your programming skills to provide technical solutions to client requests and issues.
• Working across the spectrum of partner products to enact configuration and customisation requests.
• Extracting, transforming, and loading data from existing sources into new systems.
• Working in close collaboration with clients and partners to ensure solutions are delivered which meet the needs of the business and are robust and scalable from a technology perspective.
• Delivering all work based on agreed best practice and providing training/handover for clients on delivered work, where applicable.
