Job description

Your Growth

Driving lasting impact and building long-term capabilities with our clients is not easy work. You are the kind of person who thrives in a high performance/high reward culture - doing hard things, picking yourself up when you stumble, and having the resilience to try another way forward.

In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, we'll provide the resources, mentorship, and opportunities you need to become a stronger leader faster than you ever thought possible. Your colleagues—at all levels—will invest deeply in your development, just as much as they invest in delivering exceptional results for clients. Every day, you'll receive apprenticeship, coaching, and exposure that will accelerate your growth in ways you won’t find anywhere else.

When you join us, you will have:

• Continuous learning:Our learning and apprenticeship culture, backed by structured programs, is all about helping you grow while creating an environment where feedback is clear, actionable, and focused on your development. The real magic happens when you take the input from others to heart and embrace the fast‑paced learning experience, owning your journey.


• A voice that matters:From day one, we value your ideas and contributions. You’ll make a tangible impact by offering innovative ideas and practical solutions, all while upholding our unwavering commitment to ethics and integrity. We not only encourage diverse perspectives, but they are critical in driving us toward the best possible outcomes.


• Global community:With colleagues across 65+ countries and over 100 different nationalities, our firm’s diversity fuels creativity and helps us come up with the best solutions for our clients. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from exceptional colleagues with diverse backgrounds and experiences.


• World‑class benefits:On top of a competitive salary (based on your location, experience, and skills), we provide a comprehensive benefits package to enable holistic well‑being for you and your family.

Your Impact

You will work within a small project team to analyze data, evaluate results, generate actionable insights and recommendations and deliver these to your clients.

In this role you will be liaising with our clients to gather data, conduct research and perform quantitative analysis. You'll be working with our team that covers our banking clients and will have the opportunity to travel to client sites. Our projects typically run for 6 months; therefore, you will become an expert in data and topics.

You’ll work with our Finalta team in London. Building on more than twenty years’ experience working with leading banks, Finalta combines benchmark performance data and best‑practice knowledge from 350 financial institutions in over 50 countries to generate insights on how to achieve superior performance.

You will be a part of Finalta WE (Western Europe) team.

Annual benchmarking provides clients with a unique management tool to objectively assess performance against peers and quantify opportunities for improvement. Our best‑practice cases illustrate how to close performance gaps and give clients a roadmap to reach world‑class performance while reducing the time, cost, and risk of change.
