Description

Alvarez & Marsal’s Financial Services Industry group partners with financial services firms and private investors to drive results, create value and unlock business opportunities at every stage of their growth strategies. Through deals, disruption, and distress solutions, we join forces with clients to catalyze growth and profitability, navigate the complex industry challenges, and harness rapid technological changes that drive market advantage.

Clients can expect bottom line results through action-oriented leadership and success-aligned fee arrangements, delivered by our global team of turnaround experts, industry operators, digital leaders, and regulatory specialists. Visit us here to find out more about A&M’s Financial Services Industry group.

You are:

An accomplished strategy consultant with a proven track record of advising senior executives at top-tier financial institutions. You bring experience from a leading consulting firm (MBB or Big 4 Strategy) and thrive in dynamic, high-stakes environments where you’re trusted to design and drive complex transformations.

You understand the Asset Management ecosystem (Investment Products & Solutions, Public and Private Markets, Front/Middle/Back Operations, Platforms, Risk & Regulatory), and are energized by the opportunity to shape the future of the industry. You are drawn to building — practices, solutions, client relationships — and are looking for a platform that values intellectual rigor, entrepreneurial initiative, and tangible impact.

The work:

• Lead and grow client relationships, working directly with Managing Directors and leadership teams to deliver high-impact strategic and operational transformations.
• Own and manage end-to-end project delivery, including defining problem statements, designing solutions, structuring teams, managing scope, and ensuring delivery excellence.
• Develop compelling content and thought leadership, shaping frameworks and guiding teams through the synthesis of complex research, analytics, and insights.
• Serve as a strategic advisor to C-suite clients, challenging their thinking, framing strategic choices, and influencing the agenda on growth, performance, innovation, and change.
• Build the business, identifying whitespace opportunities, developing market-relevant value propositions, and winning new work.
• Mentor and develop talent, cultivating a team-based culture that reflects the best of the consulting craft — structured problem-solving, analytical rigor, client service, and teamwork.
• Drive innovation, bringing forward thinking on topics such as digital, AI, data-driven strategies, and the future of operating models across the Asset Management landscape.
  
  
  

Here’s what you need:

• Minimum 12 years of strategy consulting experience, ideally from a top-tier firm (e.g., McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Strategy&, EY-Parthenon, Monitor Deloitte, etc.), or a blend of consulting and in-house corporate strategy/PE/IB experience supporting Asset Managers or broader Financial Institutions.
• Deep expertise in at least one of the following areas:
• Growth Strategy and Business Model Reinvention
• Performance Improvement and Cost Re-Engineering
• M&A Strategy, Due Diligence, and Post-Merger Integration
• Pricing and Revenue Optimization
• Platform & Technology Modernization
• Digital, AI, and Analytics Enablement
• Demonstrated success developing and converting client relationships into engagements.
• Strong executive presence with the ability to engage credibly with C-level stakeholders.
• Experience leading cross-functional teams in dynamic, high-pressure environments.
• Strong communication skills — both verbal and written — with the ability to frame complex ideas in a compelling narrative.
• Bachelor’s Degree required; advanced degree preferred.
  
  

This role is ideal for consultants who are:

• Seeking a more entrepreneurial, agile platform where they can shape and scale a business — not just deliver within one.
• Motivated by intellectual challenge, client impact, and the chance to help build a differentiated consulting proposition within the financial services sector.
• Looking to move beyond just advisory into execution, partnering closely with clients to make strategy real.
  
  
  

Applicants must have work authorization that does not now or in the future require sponsorship of a visa for employment authorization in the United States.
