We are seeking a Managing Principal to play a senior leadership role in shaping and delivering this capability. This position will see you focus on the execution and leadership of PMI programmes, rather than transaction advisory or deal analysis.

• Design and run integration operating models and Integration Management Offices (IMOs) aligned to client strategy


• Lead multidisciplinary teams across business, technology, data, and change to deliver successful integration outcomes


• Contribute to the development of Capco’s PMI capability through proposition development, client engagement, and mentoring senior consultants

What We’re Looking For

• Significant experience leading post-merger integration delivery within consulting or complex organisational environments


• Proven ability to run PMI programmes end to end, with a strong emphasis on execution, governance, and change leadership


• Experience delivering integrations within Financial Services or other regulated industries


• Experience in large-scale Management Consulting environments with confidence engaging senior executive stakeholders


• Strong understanding of how business, technology, operating model, and culture intersect during integration


• Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills, with comfort operating in ambiguity

Bonus Points For

• Background in large-scale transformation programmes that intersect with M&A activity


• Experience setting up or leading Integration Management Offices


• Track record of helping build or scale new consulting propositions or capabilities

Why Join Capco

• Play a leading role in shaping a new and strategically important capability within Business Consulting


• Work at the intersection of strategy, transformation, and execution


• Partner with senior clients on complex, high-impact integration programmes


• Operate in a collaborative, flat, and entrepreneurial consulting culture


• Access continuous learning, leadership development, and opportunities to shape Capco’s future
