Join an International Consultancy Firm Driving Innovation in Financial Services
Are you a management consultant with experience in payments transformation?
Do you thrive in complex, high-impact engagements where you're shaping strategy, designing operating models, and driving real change for financial institutions?
If so, read on.
We are Projective Group, a Financial Services Consultancy firm, experts in business, technology, and innovation consulting and change, exclusively focused on the financial industry, with multiple proven practices, including Data, Risk & Compliance, Payments and Transformation.
Who Are You?
You're an experienced consultant with a strong track record delivering transformation programmes for banks, financial institutions, or payments organisations.
You understand the payments ecosystem and enjoy helping clients navigate large-scale change, from operating model design to major transformation and payments-related vendor selection and re-platforming initiatives.
You combine structured thinking with a pragmatic approach to delivery. Comfortable leading workstreams and building relationships with senior stakeholders, you're equally at ease facilitating a client workshop, shaping recommendations, or rolling up your sleeves to help solve a complex challenge.
Most importantly, you're looking for an opportunity to work on some of the most significant developments shaping the future of payments, alongside talented colleagues in a consultancy where you'll have the freedom to make an impact and continue growing your career.
