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 ambitious Senior Consultant 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 consultant 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, supporting large-scale transformation initiatives spanning enterprise strategy, operating model design, operations, risk, and governance.
Why This Role Stands Out
- High-impact role with significant client ownership and visibility
- 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
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.
