Job description

Senior Manager | Strategy Consulting | Financial Services | London

I am currently partnering with an established, high-growth strategy consultancy with an excellent reputation for advising some of the most prominent businesses in financial services.

The firm works closely with Boards, C-suite executives and senior leadership teams, providing strategic counsel on complex commercial challenges, growth opportunities, M&A, business transformation and long-term market positioning.

With an expanding international footprint, an impressive client portfolio and a strong reputation for delivering sophisticated strategic work, the business offers the calibre of a leading strategy house with the agility and entrepreneurial culture of a specialist consultancy.

They are now looking to appoint a Senior Manager in London who can take ownership of significant client engagements, cultivate senior relationships and contribute to the continued expansion of the practice.

This is an excellent opportunity for an accomplished strategy consultant looking for greater autonomy, commercial responsibility and a clear route towards Principal and Partner.

The Opportunity

• Lead complex, high-profile consulting engagements across corporate strategy, growth, M&A and business transformation
• Advise C-suite executives and senior stakeholders on critical strategic and commercial decisions
• Take ownership of client engagements, from strategic direction and problem-solving through to execution
• Develop and maintain senior client relationships, identifying opportunities for further engagement
• Work closely with Partners on business development, strategic proposals and the expansion of key accounts
• Lead and mentor high-performing consulting teams, maintaining exceptional standards of delivery
• Contribute to the firm's intellectual capital, commercial strategy and broader growth ambitions

About You

• An established Senior Manager or experienced Manager from a leading strategy consultancy or an MBB firm
• A strong track record in strategy consulting, with demonstrable expertise within financial services
• Experience delivering complex strategic engagements and advising senior executive stakeholders
• Excellent commercial acumen, analytical rigour and the ability to navigate sophisticated business challenges
• Confident leading consulting teams, managing client relationships and influencing senior decision-makers
• An interest in business development, with the ambition to build and eventually own senior client relationships
• Entrepreneurial, intellectually curious and motivated by the opportunity to have a greater influence on the business

Why This Opportunity?

What makes this opportunity particularly attractive is the combination of exceptional client exposure, strategic complexity and long-term career prospects.

The firm has built a strong position in its market, working on substantial strategic engagements while maintaining a collaborative environment where senior consultants are given considerable responsibility and visibility.

You'll work directly alongside experienced Partners, have the opportunity to establish yourself as a trusted adviser to senior executives and play an active role in developing the firm's client portfolio.

For someone looking to move away from the constraints of a larger consultancy, this offers greater ownership, a more direct influence on commercial decisions and a compelling pathway into senior leadership.

If you're a strategy consultant with strong financial services expertise and are open to exploring your next move, I'd be keen to hear from you.
