• Proven consulting experience delivering large-scale, client-facing initiatives

• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, with experience collaborating with senior leadership across matrix organisations

• Consulting capabilities including structured problem-solving, adaptability, collaboration, and emotional intelligence

• Experience working across agile and traditional delivery methodologies, with a strong focus on outcomes

Bonus Points For

• Deep expertise in regulatory change, digital transformation, or operating model redesign within Capital Markets
