About Us

Specialized, disciplined, and driven by measurable growth across every engagement.

Ektis, founded in 2025, is a financial services consulting firm built on decades of combined industry experience. Our diverse team of specialists brings deep sector expertise across the regional financial ecosystem, enabling us to turn complex challenges into practical, high-impact solutions.

As an expert‑led, boutique firm, we operate as an extension of our clients—partnering closely with financial institutions to translate ambition into measurable progress. We focus on building enduring internal capability and applying creative problem‑solving that delivers lasting impact.

Our approach integrates real‑world insights with strategic thinking and disciplined execution. We define objectives with precision, map the pathways required, and deliver outcomes that work in practice—not just in presentation decks. Every deliverable is designed to be actionable, professional, and reflective of the capability and results our clients aim to achieve.

Vision

Redefining financial services consulting for a new era—accelerating ideas, deepening execution, and driving outcomes that matter.

Mission

We partner with financial institutions to turn ambition into measurable results. Guided by our entrepreneurial spirit, we integrate with client teams and combine strategic clarity, disciplined execution, and creative problem‑solving to deliver lasting impact and build capabilities that endure.

Role Focus

At Ektis, we partner with leading financial institutions, fintechs, and public‑sector clients to solve their most critical challenges. As a Business Analyst, you will play a core role on our consulting teams, helping deliver insightful analysis, structured problem‑solving, and practical recommendations that create real impact.

Because every client engagement is unique, your time at Ektis will give you diverse, hands‑on exposure across industries, topics, and geographies. You will work closely with a tight‑knit, collaborative team that values curiosity, ownership, and authenticity—giving you the freedom to grow, contribute, and shape your career from day one.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct rigorous data gathering, analytics, market research, and benchmarking to support project hypotheses and recommendations.
• Contribute to project workstreams, working directly with clients to co‑create, test, and implement solutions.
• Support business development activities, including drafting proposals, preparing pitch materials, and contributing to case studies.
• Develop internal and external knowledge assets such as thought‑leadership pieces, reports, and analytical frameworks.
• Participate in firm‑building initiatives including training, recruiting, and knowledge‑sharing.

Candidate Profile

At Ektis, we believe consulting is fundamentally about meaningful connections—between insights, ideas, people, and possibilities. We look for collaborative, curious, and analytical problem‑solvers who challenge assumptions, think independently, and bring authenticity to their work.

You're a Great Fit If You Are

• Ready to contribute ideas and take ownership from day one
• Highly analytical and enjoy breaking down complex problems
• Organized, adaptable, and able to prioritize in fast‑moving environments
• Excited to build a career in consulting and learn across diverse sectors
• Bring a minimum of 2 years of professional experience in consulting, financial services, strategy, or related fields
• Fluent in English (Arabic is a plus)

Competency Framework

Technical Capabilities

Structured problem solving, analytical discipline, and generating credible insights through high‑quality research and modelling.
