About the Role
We are looking for an A-Grade Management Consultant who doesn’t just advise from the sidelines but gets onto the field to help our Financial Services clients build the future. You will be a long-term partner to clients, embedded with some of the most interesting players in Financial Services across Africa, such as banks, MFIs, telcos, and Fintechs. You will help them navigate complex shifts not just by telling them what’s wrong, but by architecting and deploying what’s right.
Key Responsibilities
- Bridge the Gap: Use your bilingual skills to speak both the language of high-level strategy and the gritty reality of operational execution.
- Explore & Innovate: You’ll have the license to explore new concepts, from emerging fintech integrations to radical process overhauls, and figure out how they actually fit the client’s ecosystem.
- Own the Outcome: Success for us isn't measured by a "sign-off" on a deck; it’s measured by deployments, realised ROI, and the long-term health of the client's business.
- Build the Relationship: Cultivate long-term collaborations, becoming the trusted advisor who partners with clients and helps them see the seeds sprout.
Qualifications and Experience Required
Successful candidates are passionate, self-motivated problem-solvers who value integrity, exhibit ethical behaviour, and are analytical thinkers with an excellent academic record. You’ve likely worked in a Financial Services firm (client-side) and have also gained experience in a fast-paced advisory environment.
- A Bachelor's or Master's degree in a quantitative field such as Economics, Finance, Statistics, Data Science, or a related discipline.
- 5–8+ years of professional experience, with a proven mix of industry (FS) and consulting exposure.
- A hands-on mindset; not afraid to dive into the data or the workflow to find the friction points.
- Enjoys the whiteboard phase of a project, but enjoys the go-live even more.
- A genuine interest in the evolution of finance—be it banking, insurance, or wealth management—and always looking for the next opportunity to innovate within it.
- High attention to detail and a meticulous approach to data and analysis.
- Good written and verbal communication skills.
- A strong, demonstrable interest in payments systems, digital finance, and digital financial inclusion.
