Executive Transformation Strategy Lead
Location: London (Hybrid) | Practice Area: Business Consulting | Type: Permanent
Shape executive decision-making on some of the financial services industry's most complex transformation programmes.
The Role
Capco is looking for an experienced transformation professional to partner with executive leadership teams across large-scale business and technology transformation programmes.
This is not a traditional Programme Management Office (PMO) role. Instead, you will act as a trusted advisor to senior client stakeholders, helping leadership teams navigate complexity by translating diverse inputs into clear strategic insight, executive narratives and actionable recommendations.
Working across business and technology domains, you will connect strategy, delivery and governance, enabling informed decision-making at Board and Executive Committee level while driving meaningful transformation outcomes. You'll also embrace AI-enabled ways of working, using approved AI tools and automation to enhance insight, improve productivity and support executive decision-making, while applying appropriate human judgement and responsible AI principles.
What You'll Do
- Partner with Executive Sponsors, Programme Directors and C-suite stakeholders, providing strategic advice, challenge and insight throughout major transformation programmes.
- Develop executive-ready communications, Board papers and strategic narratives that simplify complex information into clear, actionable recommendations, using AI-enabled tools where appropriate to improve speed, quality and insight.
- Shape enterprise-wide transformation strategies, operating models and governance approaches that align delivery with business objectives and support modern, AI-enabled ways of working where relevant.
- Lead cross-functional collaboration across business, technology, finance, operations, risk and change teams to identify dependencies, resolve issues and enable successful delivery.
- Provide strategic oversight by identifying emerging risks, opportunities and trends, enabling evidence-based executive decision-making through responsible use of data, automation and AI-supported analysis.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
