Senior Manager - Financial Services Transformation (12BB9DB)

Referment is partnering with a rapidly scaling, PE-backed consulting and RegTech business that is delivering complex transformation programmes across global financial institutions.

This is an opportunity for an experienced consulting leader to join a high-growth boutique environment where you’ll have genuine influence over client engagements, business growth, and the future direction of the consulting practice. This role is ideal for a Senior Manager who balances strategic thinking with a hands-on approach to transformation delivery.

You’ll work directly with senior client stakeholders across banking, capital markets, asset &​ wealth management, and insurance, leading large-scale transformation initiatives spanning enterprise strategy, operating model design, operations, risk, and governance.

Why This Role Stands Out

• High-impact leadership role with significant client ownership
• Opportunity to shape and grow a scaling consulting practice
• Direct exposure to ExCo-level stakeholders and senior decision-makers
• Broad transformation work across enterprise strategy, operations, and regulatory change
• Faster progression and visibility than traditional consulting firms
• Entrepreneurial, collaborative culture with strong leadership access
• Opportunity to influence both delivery and commercial growth

This role would suit a strategic leader who enjoys combining high-level advisory with hands-on transformation delivery and wants to operate in an environment where their impact is highly visible.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading end-to-end strategic transformation programmes across financial services
• Designing and implementing complex Target Operating Models (TOMs) and governance frameworks
• Acting as a trusted advisor to ExCo and senior client stakeholders
• Managing multiple workstreams, teams, and complex delivery programmes
• Driving business strategy and organizational design initiatives
• Building and growing client relationships and accounts
• Supporting business development, proposals, and strategic growth initiatives
• Coaching and mentoring consultants and managers across the practice

They’re looking for someone with:

• 7+ years of experience within management consulting or financial services transformation
• A proven background within a top-tier management consultancy or Big 4 firm
• Extensive experience working within Tier 1 Investment Banking environments
• Deep expertise in Enterprise Strategy, Target Operating Model (TOM) design, and Governance
• A track record of leading complex business transformation rather than purely technical or digital implementations
• Excellent stakeholder management skills with experience in strategic advisory at the senior executive level
• A stable career history demonstrating a commitment to practice growth and long-term client impact
• Strong leadership capabilities, with a proactive and disciplined approach to delivery
• High-caliber academic credentials, such as an MBA, or a background in military leadership is highly regarded

If you’re looking for a role that combines strategic advisory, transformation leadership, client ownership, and the opportunity to help shape a growing consulting business, apply now to avoid missing out.
