Why Tonic?
As a smaller, agile and specialist consultancy, at Tonic you will be given direct responsibility and accountability from Day 1.
For that reason, we need highly-motivated self-starters, who constantly want to self-develop and challenge themselves.
Individuals who pro-actively look for the answers to difficult questions, without waiting to be told by someone else. Individuals who propose next steps and solutions for team review, without waiting for instructions.
In return, we give our consultants the platform to progress quickly in their careers, learning new skills and building deep domain and transformation expertise.
We do this by providing our consultants with a variety of delivery engagements and business development tasks, giving them the ability to move across a wide mix of client types, domains and projects.
In parallel, we will give you plenty of support and learning along the way, including training, advice and ongoing direct access to our Domain SMEs, Senior Management team and Tonic Co-Founders.
Role Summary
Driven by our growing reputation as consultancy leaders in Capital Markets, we are continuing to expand our global team.
This is where you come in, to join our team as a Senior Consultant based in London, working with some of the world’s leading financial institutions.
Our Senior Consultants have three key core streams of responsibility:
- High-quality client delivery, across a range of complex advisory and transformation engagements
- Definition of high-quality service proposals and market intelligence, partnering with our Domain SMEs
- Playing an active role building out our Tonic team and culture
This will be a crucial role through a period of accelerated company growth, where you will have the opportunity to work on innovative and impactful projects alongside a team of talented colleagues.
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.
