Engagement Manager

Our company

The Fintech Consultancy Group, or Fincog, specialises in fintech consulting. The company provides bespoke solutions in strategy consulting, market research, and commercial due diligence for a broad swathe of stakeholders in the financial services industry such as banks, payment service providers, wealth and asset managers, as well as investors, governments and larger fintech start-ups.

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.

About the role

As an Engagement Management you will lead one of our project teams. You will be responsible for successful delivery throughout. This includes both the management of the Junior Consultants as well as daily management of the client relationship. You will bring in-depth knowledge of banking and fintech to the client, with support of the Director and Senior Topics Experts.

Next to working on client engagements, you will play an important role in the growth of the company. You will have a central role in the business development activities and responsible for new sales. This may include amongst others to speak at conferences and other events, build and maintain your own network of potential clients, and lead the sales process.

As we are a young company, you will have much freedom to shape the role to your interest and will be involved in a large variety of Fincog activities. For example, you could choose to focus more on certain topics (i.e. challenger banks, open banking etc.) and specific activities (i.e. HR, research, sales etc.), depending on your interests and experience.
