Senior Consultant (Banking Financial Resource Management)

Connect to your Industry

We are seeking experienced financial services practitioners to join Deloitte’s Actuarial Insurance & Banking team (‘AI&B’) as a Senior Consultant or Manager.

The AI&B Banking team, which operates under Deloitte Consulting, is expanding our offering and has become increasingly involved in designing and implementing major financial resource management initiatives for Tier 1 banks globally. The primary objective is delivering shareholder returns. These initiatives encompass financial resourcing strategy, operational framework, and risk and regulations, all rooted in a thorough understanding of the intricacies within the banking sector.

You will be joining a team of 30 management consultants with diverse analytical skills, industry experience, and banking backgrounds. Our team comprises experts in financial analysis, economics, quantitative modelling, and data science, with experience drawn from both industry and advisory backgrounds in strategy, finance, treasury, risk, regulatory, commercial, and operational domains.

Over the past three years, our banking team has experienced a high growth rate while maintaining a remarkably low attrition level. We expect that growth to continue as our clients increasingly seek our help to guide strategies, measure and manage performance, allocate scarce financial resources, develop customer service innovations, manage risk, respond to regulatory demands, and optimise operations. We are hugely ambitious and excited for the future.

• Prior experience in either Balance Sheet Management, ALM, structuring of hedge programmes, or pricing strategies across banking book products.
• Familiarity with the asset and wealth management industry, their customer needs and market structures, which are forcing asset managers to adapt their value propositions and business models to remain vibrant and valuable.
