We're working with a leading consultancy that's shaping the future of data in financial services. They're looking for a Data Advisory Lead to join their growing Financial Services practice at Director Level, and help Tier 1 banking clients unlock the full potential of their data.

This is a unique opportunity to step into a newly created leadership role, blending strategic advisory, client engagement, and technical insight.

• Shape enterprise data strategies, governance frameworks, and operating models.
• Engage in high-level conversations around AI, GenAI, and modern data platforms like Snowflake and Databricks - you don't need to be a deep technical SME, but you'll need to understand the landscape.
• Drive client growth by identifying opportunities, building relationships, and offering the right solutions - not just selling tech, but solving real business problems.

What We're Looking For:

• Strong track-record in data advisory, strategy, or management roles.
• Experience working for Consulting firms and significant banking sector experience.
• Deep understanding of FS business models, regulatory landscape, and data challenges.
• Proven track record in delivering data transformation programmes.
• Strong knowledge of governance, architecture, and analytics platforms.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.

Why Apply?

• Shape the future of data strategy in banking - this is the first role of its kind in the business, with incredible growth potential.
• Work with Tier 1 banking clients on high-impact transformation programmes.
• Join a dynamic, forward-thinking consultancy with a strong FS footprint.
