• Engage with internal and external stakeholders, ensuring clear deliverables, SLAs, and change readiness.

• Mentor junior consultants, contribute to RFPs, and support business development initiatives.

Consulting & Leadership Responsibilities

• Act as a trusted advisor to clients, delivering high-quality consulting services and driving strategic change.

• Manage client relationships, influence decision-making, and ensure successful engagement outcomes.

• Support the growth of Delta Capita’s consulting practice through thought leadership, operational support, and team development.

• Lead and inspire project teams, ensuring delivery excellence and continuous improvement.

Skills & Experience

• Proven experience in consulting, project management, or business analysis within financial services.

• Strong understanding of operational risk, regulatory compliance, and control frameworks.

• Experience managing change programmes across strategy, design, build, testing, and go-live phases.

• Familiarity with capital markets, banking products, and lifecycle events.

• Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills, with the ability to influence and lead cross-functional teams.

• High attention to detail, strong analytical ability, and commitment to quality assurance.

• Experience with reporting tools such as Tableau, Power BI, or similar is a plus.

• Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and deliver under pressure.
