Senior Consultant / Implementation Consultant

Senior Consultant - Financial Technology Implementations

Location: Glasgow or Edinburgh (Hybrid 2 days onsite)

A leading financial technology provider is expanding its team and is looking for an experienced Senior Consultant to support the delivery of complex software implementations across a broad client base within financial services.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of business analysis, solution design, and client engagement, and who brings experience from financial services, capital markets, payments, or CASS-related environments. You'll work closely with clients to understand their operational processes, translate requirements into effective solutions, and support delivery teams throughout the project life cycle.

In this role, you'll lead client workshops, map current processes, and define the requirements that form the foundation of a successful implementation. You'll produce detailed solution designs, act as the customer advocate during development, and ensure the delivered solution aligns with the agreed scope.

Throughout the implementation life cycle, you will collaborate with project managers, developers, and test teams, helping to interpret requirements, support testing activities, and manage changes when needed. You'll provide clarity when things become complex, structure when stakeholders diverge, and guidance when delivery teams need direction.

You'll manage multiple projects at once, communicate regularly with internal and external stakeholders, and play a critical role in ensuring project outcomes land successfully.

You will have a background in fintech, SaaS, or financial services, with hands-on experience delivering software solutions into operational or regulatory environments. You're comfortable working with financial data, understanding reconciliation or control processes, and navigating the terminology common to capital markets, payments, or CASS oversight.

You have strong analytical skills, excellent communication, and the confidence to lead discussions at all levels - including senior stakeholders. You can translate complexity into clear documentation, handle ambiguity, and manage competing priorities across several work streams. A solid understanding of implementation life cycles, change control, and testing phases is essential.

You will join an organisation that values high-quality delivery and supports professional development. Expect a competitive salary, annual performance bonus, private healthcare, pension, generous annual leave, and access to ongoing training platforms. The culture encourages collaboration, recognises contribution, and offers opportunities to grow within a scaling Professional Services function.

This role is perfect for someone who has worked as a Senior Consultant, Implementation Consultant, Solution Consultant, or Business Analyst within financial services, particularly those with exposure to capital markets, payments operations, or CASS-regulated processes. If you enjoy solving complex operational challenges, designing effective solutions, and working closely with clients, this position offers an excellent next step.
