- Coordinate with external suppliers, consultants, and other delivery partners to support program objectives.
- Provide guidance and direction to junior team members, promoting collaboration, continuous improvement, and high-quality delivery.
- Support regulatory and strategic transformation initiatives, ensuring alignment across stakeholders and contributing to successful business outcomes.

- Variety of assignments and opportunities to expand your consulting and transformation expertise.

What We Are Looking For
We are looking for a Capital Markets generalist and transformation leader, rather than a specialist in one product or operational function.
The successful candidate will be someone who can walk into a complex Capital Markets program, quickly understand the business context, bring structure to the problem, align senior stakeholders, manage change, and drive the program through execution.
You do not need to be the deepest expert in settlements, derivatives, payments, trading, or another specific Capital Markets discipline. You do need to understand how Capital Markets businesses operate and be able to lead the people, change, and delivery required to transform them.
