Freelance Consultant

Who we are

Fincog is a strategy consulting company specializing in Fintech and Banking. We support our clients to design build and scale digital banks. We offer in-depth knowledge of both banking and Fintech and combine strategy consulting with implementation to transform and build digital ventures for a broad swathe of stakeholders in the financial services industry including banks, fintechs and other service providers.

We help our clients to understand what is happening in the fintech market and obtain the right insights, develop sustainable fintech strategies and support the implementation of new solutions. For example, last year we supported our clients to create the strategic vision and launch of a new challenger bank, supported an online lender with the international growth strategy, performed commercial-due diligence on various fintech investments and provided bespoke research on the fintech market, amongst others.

Fincog boasts an expanding, multidisciplinary and experienced team of consultants. Our consultants have worked in other consulting firms such as Deloitte and The Boston Consulting Group, and in corporate strategy functions at banks. And throughout their career our consultants have gained in-depth knowledge across financial services, IT and innovation.

Who we are looking for

While dependent on the specific project, we generally look for candidates that will have experience in consulting at a Tier-1 firm coupled with expertise across areas such as digital banking, payments or banking technology. In case you have someone in your own network or know of someone who fits this description, please provide us with the relevant contact details.

As we are a strategy consulting firm specialised in fintech, it is almost needless to say that we are looking for strong analytical skills and an eye for detail. For example, you give much attention to the quality of work, have strong ownership of your work and are driven to help our clients achieve the best possible results.

We are open to a variety of candidates from across the globe. For junior consultants we would typically look for 2 – 5 years of relevant work experience. For senior consultants and engagements managers we would typically look for 5 – 10 years of relevant work experience.

In any case we are always happy to have an introductory chat to explore potential collaboration

How we work

As a freelance consultant, you will join one of our project teams and we will assign you a specific role dependent on your experience, personal strengths and the client’s needs.

You will be responsible for the project management and manage a team of one or more junior consultants. You are also responsible for the strategic analyses and successful delivery of the content.

If you join a project as a junior consultant your role will largely revolve around performing research, gathering insights through in-depth analyses and preparing client reports that summarize your finding in a structure and concise manner.

Once you have become a freelance consultant for Fincog and are a part of our freelance community, we will directly reach out to you in the eventuality that a project may need additional resources, and that your profile fits the specific requirements for the given project.
